Notes for WILLIAM FORKNER:
The Forkner family, according to tradition, are of Welsh descent, but just when this family emigrated to America is not definitely known. IT is certain, however, that William Forkner, the great-grandfather of Mark E. Forkner, settled at a very early period in North Carolina, where the family abided for several years and where Micajah Forkner, father of Mark E., was born in 1814.
