I am interested in George Washington Gortney.Was he the Wash Gortney mentioned in "The Battle of Iuka" during the Civil War?This Gortney was for the Union army along with John Beck and Carl Ritter.
My Gr grandfather, Benjamin Franklin Ritter married Sarah
Ann Beck who was the daughter of Jeffrey Beck and Sarah
Gortney.Sarah Beck was, per my grandfather, a Cherokee Indian.She was b. 1810 in GA..
1850 MS census has a Marion Beck living in the household of Benjamin Franklin Ritter and Sarah Ann Beck along with Sarah's brother John Beck.
