    1. Turner Family
    2. BOB TURNER
    3. On April 8, 1903, Nathan Berry Turner of Cypert, Phillips County, Arkansas wrote a family history of his family. Ever thing he wrote has been proven to be true except the following: " In about 1845, Dave Turner moved to Cobb County, Georgia, near Atlanta, where he died about 10 years later. Dave Turner married Miss Betty Guthrie about 1837. Children; William Turner, Harriet Turner, Henry, Turner and Perry Turner. " Todate, I have not been able to find any trace of this family in Cobb County, Ga.. I have found in the 1850 Census of Campbell County the following: David Turner age 49, SC, Elizabeth P., age 29, SC, William, 12,SC, Harriet, 10, SC, Perry L. 8, SC, James Henry, 5, SC, John A., 3, Ga., David L. 10/12 Ga. and Mary C. 100 (Yes 100 years old), SC. The 1860 Census of Cambell County, Ga. list the following: Elizabeth Turner, 40 , William 20, Harietta, 19, Perry, 18, Henry, 14, John, 12, David, 10, Mary, 8, Sarah, 3. I can not find this family on any other census, I did find that Perry lost is life in the Civil War at Tupelo, Mississippi. In Bethel Cemetery on Stonewall Tell Road in what is now Fulton Conty, Ga. there is listed David Turner b. 1818, d, 28 Oct 1860 and Elizabeth P. Turner, b. 1815, d. 16 Dec 1887. I think this is Dave and Elizabeth even tho the birth date is not right for either. Can any one give me any information on this family. Nathan Berry Turner has been correct with all his information except for the information as to the location of this family. Could they have moved to Cobb County after the Civil War ? This would account for the information that they lived in Cobb Co. instead of Campbell County. Any information or advice would be appreciated. Sincerely requested. Bob Turner, Helena, Arkansas, "[email protected]".
