Hi, does anyone researched the Thomas and Elizabeth Turner family? Thomas and Elizabeth are found in the 1850 and 1860 Russell Co censuses: Thomas Turner 45 SC Elizabeth 30 Alapha 13 GA James 10 AL Thomas 8 Adeline 6 George 4 John 2 1860 Census: Thos Turner 49 S. Carolina E. Turner 41 J. L. Turner 20 W. T. 17 A. Turner 15 David Turner 3 "Thomas’s family is living next door (1769) to N. J. Robinson in 1860 Census. (This would be Nathaniel J. Robertson.) Another researcher shared this info with me: By 1870 Thomas Turner has died and I do not know where he was buried. Being they were in Deadfall he could be buried in either Ft Dale or Antioch East. According to the 1866 census one member of Thomas's family has died from sickness; this would be Wm Thomas. The two youngest boys, George and John, died before 1860 and are probably buried in the Mt Olive East cemetery. Thomas and his family lived in Russell Co AL in 1840 and 1850 and moved to the Butler Co AL area with the Bush family around 1855. You will find them on the rolls of the Mt Olive East Baptist Church. Thomas and Elizabeth Turner kept Nancy Ann Conway during the war . Nancy Ann later married John W. Sims." Does anyone have info on JOHN W. SIMS WHO MARRIED NANCY ANN CONWAY? Thomas and Elizabeth's daughter Alafaree "Allie" Turner married Nathaniel Frank Robertson, son of the above neighbor Nathaniel J. Robertson.) Their son James L. married Elizabeth C. Smith. Thomas Turner's brother Abraham married Judith Boddie. Their children married into the John and Frances Bush family of Barnwell, S.C. Abraham and Judith are listed in the 1860 Butler County Federal Census: A. W. Turner 54 J. H. 46 C. 23 J. A. 21 Mary A. 19 James 16 W.C. 14 Nancy 10 L. A. 9 Thank you for any info about these families.

Freda, My g-g-grandmother, Lucinda (Lucy) Groom, went to Russell Co., ca 1834, probably from the Pine Apple area. According to family tradition she went there because she was pregnant. A year or two later she married Henry Brantley in Russel Co. They are on the 1850 Wilcox census. I'm not sure if any Turners were in that family but there must have been some reason she went -- or was sent -- to Russell Co. I'm not doing much research lately. I'm trying to record a lot of music from old vinyl albums and live tapes to CD. The tapes are from concerts Darla and I have produced. Our radio station is streaming on the WWW now. Our show can be heard 3 - 5 PM Wednesday at WWW.KZFR.ORG. It might not work on a phone modem but comes in good on broadband.
