I need the correct line of John Tyler Turner of Vinegar Bend, Alabama , Washington County. He married my gr gr uncle James Monroe Baxter and Mary Ellen McIIwain Baxter's daughter Racelia Gertrde Baxter. They had a son Noel Monroe Baxter. He was a Lawyer in in Vinegar Bend, Alabama. Racelia and John Tyler Turner later move to Mobile, Alabama. My grandpapa James Harry Waldrop son of Sarah Baxter, sister of James Monroe Baxter. James Harry Waldrop and Racelia Baxter Turner were first cousins, Noel Monroe Baxter and my papa Harry P. Waldrop were second cousin. Elizabeth Mary (Polly) Turner Ladd of Mobile , Alabama , daughter of Noel Monroe Turner and I are third cousins. (This is my connection to the Turners) Plus John Platt who married Kate McIIwain Turner . John Platt son of Elizabeth Baxter and John Calvin Platt.(My gr gr Baxter Aunt) Elizabeth Baxter Platt is the older sister of my gr grandmother Sarah Baxter Waldrop(Mrs. Joseph R. Waldrop, State Rep. of Washington County, Alabama, 1867 thru 1870 until he was murdered, ambushed shot and killed.) and James Monroe Baxter. Kate's parents died young and she was adopted by a Turner family. I do not think these two Turners are connected. I really don't know. Also Kate McIIwain Turner Platt, is also the sister of Mary Ellen McIIwain Baxter who married James M. Baxter and is the mother of Racelia who married John Tyler Turner. This is what I have about the Turners: The officers of the Alabama and ;Mississippi Railroad were: Noel Ebeneezer, President; Alfred Rhett Turner (N. E.Turner's son), auditor and vice president. Horace Sanford Turner was general manager of the lumber company, and Mart Lankford was general manager and one of the largest stockholders. Mr Turner's brothers, J . (John) Tyler Turner and Herbert C. Turner, were also acssociated with the Company. John Tyler Turner was the brother of Noel Ebeneezer. Right? What connection is John Tyler Turner to Noel and Sarah Turner? I can't find Mr. Eb or John Tyler listed as the children of Sarah and Noel Turner. Is there a John Tyler Turner line. He is the brother of Mr. Eb Turner. Are they the sons of Noel and Sarah Turner. I need help on this line. Thank you. My gr gr uncle James Monroe Baxter buit the first saw mill in Vinegar Bend, Alabama in 1884 and sold it in 1887 to Mr. Eneneezer Turner who in 1900 formed the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company. It was the largest saw mill in the South for many years. Before coming to Vinegar Bend, Mr. Turner worked for the Turner and Oates Lumber Company in Lumberton. The Company was owned by his uncle William Turner, and his fiance's uncle, William Oates. While in Lumberton ( now called Fruitdale) Mr. Turner married his fiance, Miss Verda Southall. Together they raised enough money to by my gr gr uncle James M. Baxter's lumber Company. Thanks for any help. Sandra maiden name Waldrop Georgia
