Some of my ancestors migrated from Virginia, to North Carolina and then to neighboring Pike County, Mo and Pike County, Ill. My direct line is Thomas Turner, son of Henry, grandson of old Terisha. A lot of info on net about Henry & Terisha. Thomas brother Lawson Turner was in Pleasant Hill, Ill in 1849.
