Samuel C. (Reverend) Turner and Elizabeth (Betsy) Norris [other possible surname -or middle name- = MAY] are my 3G grandparents. I have seen notes on various trees that say that Samuel was a minister of some Christian denomination of the day. Also, there are a few trees that say he also served as a representative in the lower house of Arkansas in 1846. I am descended through their son, John Henry Turner, born in 1828 in Dickson County, TN. I see you are related to one of the other sons, Jesse Norris Turner. The US Census records going all the way back to 1790 trace the movements of this family. There is an entry with the DAR that has John Turner [Samuel C.'s father] serving in the revolutionary war out of Halifax, Virginia. These are the only public records I have found so far in my search on this line [my direct paternal lineage]. If you find anything else, please contact me. John
