Posted on: Jones County, Ga Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Jones?read=790 Surname: Turner, Sweet, Harmon, Sheppard, Shepherd, Bonner, Worsham, Snelgrove, Snellgrove ------------------------- Looking for any info on Thomas TURNER, b. c1751 (SC?); d. c1845, Crawford Co., GA; m. 1st, Mary (SWEET?; d. before 1800); m. 2nd Esther (--). Children by Mary: 1. Anna, b. 26 July 1788, SC; d. 5 April 1851, Newton Co., GA; m. 17 July 1808, Newberry Co., SC, Jacob HARMON. 2. Polly, m. (--) SHEPPARD/SHEPHERD. 3. James "Jim," d. near Mongtomery, AL; m. 1 Jan. 1805, Warren Co., GA, Elizabeth M. (--). Children by Esther: 1. Gregory John, b. 1801; d. TX; m. 23 Dec. 1821, Jones Co., GA, Jane Cook BONNER. 2. Julius, d. before 29 June 1839, Crawford Co., GA; m. Betsy WORSHAM. 3. Levi, d. 1883; m. 28 Jan. 1829, Jones Co., GA, Elizabeth SNEL(L)GROVE. 4. Esther. Is this the same Thomas TURNER who was named as an "under age" son of James TURNER, whose will was proved in Berkeley Co., SC in 1767? My Thomas would have been about 16 at the time, so the age fits. According to James' will, his son Thomas was to get half of his land on the Saluda River and Buffalo Creek. In 1808, my Thomas TURNER sold a tract of land on the Saluda River and Buffalo Creek. Is this the same tract bequeathed by James TURNER to his son Thomas? The other children named in James TURNER's 1767 will were: Simon, James, John (all of age), Honor and Tempy (both under age). James' widow was Amy. Thomas TURNER was supposedly a Revolutionary War veteran and was listed as such in the 1832 GA Land Lottery and in the special 1840 census schedule of Revolutionary War pensioners. However, I haven't been able to find any record of his service or his pension. Help! I'd love to hear from anyone who might recognize any of these TURNERs.
