Thomas Cain (sometimes spelled Kane/Cane) Turner born august 1860 and Sarah Harris born august 1864 (both birthdates from 1900 census) Sarah was the daughter of W.M. Harris and Roberta? Her age in census records varies as much as 5 years from year to year. Sarah's parents names come from her death certificate which might not be correct as we all know. Sarah possibly had a sister Ida May. They had sons: 1. Bonnie/Barney/Barnie R. Turner - born 20 May 1884/1885, died 21 Mar 1920 in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida - Wife Idella/Inez, no known children 2. Virgil Owens Turner - born 07 Dec 1889, died, 27 Mar 1934 Lakeland, Polk County, Florida . No marriage record found 3. James Perry Turner Sr., born 27 May 1893, died Sept 11, 1944 in V. A. hospital, Pinellas County, Florida but was living in Lachoochee, Pasco County, Florida With wife Minnie Vesta Ward Turner. Perry and Vesta's children were George Daniel, James Perry, James Clay, Bonita Ethlynd all born in Florida. 4. Charles A Turner - born July 1987 - I have been able to find no other information on Charlie other than the census up to 1920 and his military enlistment. On Thomas and Sarah's son's military enlistment papers they all say they were born in Griffin, Ga. or Macon, Ga. The earliest I can find them in the census is in Florida in 1900 in Pasco County Florida. That is where I get the birthdates and places for Thomas and Sarah. >From one census to the next Sarah's names changes from Roberta, Sarah to Martha although she is always listed as the mother of the children. According to the census and city directory records Thomas C Turner died between 1900 and 1910 as Sarah is listed as a widow in the 1910 census and in the 1913 city directory for Lakeland, Florida. She could of course been a grass widow but I find nothing to suggest that. I would love to find any information at all on these people, marriage records, parents, earlier than 1900 census records....anything is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
