Pam, I put G Turner in the 1880 census CD index. I NEVER lived in the county where I was born until 6 months ago. This is what I found: Linton Trigg County Kentucky 1880 census occ age birthplace father mother W F TURNER farmer self 64 TN MD TN Betie TURNER keeping wife 56 KY KY KY house E I TURNER dau 16 KY TN KY G C TURNER son 15 KY TN KY W B HERNDON laborer other 15 KY KY KY think this might be your man? gives them about 12 years to move over a couple of counties maybe looking for work? HERNDON may be a key to Betie's family, perhaps? Anyway, it's worth a try. wanda wanda satterfield momz1223@bellsouth.net Coordinator Macon County TN GenExchange http://www.genexchange.org/county/cfm?state=tn&county=macon Coordinator Trousdale County GenExchange http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state+tn&county=trousdale Researching: SATTERFIELD, BREWSTER, KNIGHT, MONTAGUE, DALLAS, WILLIS, WEST, McCLANAHAN, UHLES, LINVILLE, EDEN, FILSON, GREGORY, BANDY BLANKENSHIP
