Some of James Thomas FORTSON's lines can be traced back fourteen generations.

Note that in the eighth generation John WINN (#132 and #136) and Elizabeth MINOR (#133 and #137) appear twice--because they are the parents of two of James Thomas FORTSON's ancestors: Minor WINN (#68) and Richard WINN (#66), James's great-great-great-great-grandfathers. John WINN's and Elizabeth MINOR's lines are thus repeated twice in each previous generation of James's ancestry--known as "pedigree collapse." This situation arose when James's great-grandparents, Thomas FORTSON Jr. (#16) and Rachel WINN (#17), who were second cousins, married each other.

In the chart below, a person's father has a number that is twice the child's number and a person's mother has a number that is one number higher than the child's father's number. Thus the father of number 6 is number 12 and the mother of number 6 is number 13.
