I am researching my husband's TURNER family in Clarke Co. John Baldwin and Mary MATTHEWS TURNER were first in a Clarke Co. census in 1860 with children John Erasmus and Mildred. Baldwin died from illness contracted during the Civil War, but Mary was still there in 1870 with John Erasmus and his wife Elizabeth Mildred IMES and children. By 1880 John and Elizabeth were in Cherokee Co., GA. Mildred TURNER married Samuel BAILEY who worked with her father at the Cook's Armory, and they moved to Oglethorpe Co. Would like to correspond with any researchers of this family. Barbara Dooley Cullowhee, NC
