A History of Kentucky Baptists, From 1769 to 1885, by J. H. Spencer, 1886, Reprinted by Church History and Archives, 1976, Lafayette, TN. Gasper River Association. Logan County. LEWIS FORTNER had a share in laying the foundation of the early churches in Gasper River Association. He was in the ministry, and was a preacher in Dan River church, in Patrick county, Virginia, as early as 1790. He moved to Logan county, Ky., at an early period, and was probably instrumental in gathering Center church, which was constituted by Lewis Moore and Edward Turner, in 1810, and appears to have been its first pastor. In this capacity he ministered till 1815, after which we have no account of him. He was an old man, and probably finished his course, about that time.
