His father was named William and is said to have drowned in Posey Co. IN sometime before 1870 (his wife died shortly thereafter). James Henry spent time in orphanages in Posey Co. IN and White Co. IL. He appears in Smith Mills, Henderson Co, KY in the 1870 census living with the Frymier family. He appears in Smith Mills in the 1880 census living with the Bliss family. He married Ida Mae Byrd in Smith Mills in 1890. He had a sister named Ellen, and possibly a sister or cousin named Louisa E. He may be the son of William and Lelia Turner listed in the 1860 census for Black, Posey Co, IN, with children named Robt W, Elizabeth, Benj A, Louesi E, & James. I can find no trace of William & Lelia before or after the 1860 census, and cannot confirm this link. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
