Turners. If you get into the 1850 Harlan Co., KY census you will find both John's listed. They were first cuzzins thru their fathers, William & David Turner as they were brothers born in VA. William/Stacy Smith Turner were married in 1824 in Harlan Co., KY. The 1850 census lists 4 children for this marriage. Robert Turner is 25 in this census, married to Sally (Sarah) Harris. They have two children. The other 3 children of William & Stacy Turner are at home. They are John L. Turner age 19. This John married Louisa Hensley. Henry Turner age 17 and William Turner age 13. David Turner husband of Bitha (Tobitha) Lewis has the following children living at home in the 1850 census. John age 18, Mary age 19, David age 15, Elizabeth age 14, Nancy age 12, William age 10, Bitha (Tobitha) age 7, John R. (Ransom) age 4, Hannah (Amanda) age 3, and Delia age 1. Living next door to David & Bitha is son Abner C. Turner age 23 with his wife and 3 children. Hopefully some of this will help both of you. I'm not a Turner family researcher and know nothing farther about these families. I do find it odd that there are two John Turners in the same family tho as in David & Bitha's family.
