Guys: I have lost the web site listed by Sherry Turner Trosper regarding the Turner and other families. Would someone please resend... Thanks Jimmy Isenberg -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles R. Arterburn Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 1:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [KYMONROE] Monroe County--William Turner Will Last Will & Testament of WILLIAM TURNER (1788-1864), from Will Book "C" of Monroe County. Some of the handwriting is very difficult to read (punctuation supplied): "I, William Turner of Monroe County Kentucky, being weak in body but of sound mind and disposing memory, do make this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all previous wills made by me. 1st Pt. It is my will that after my death my beloved wife, Frances Turner, shall of my effects pay all my just debts and funeral expenses, and have and control and use all my property of every description during her natural life, and at her death it is my will that all my property be equally divided amongst my children and heirs, to wit: John A. Turner, Wyatt Turner heirs, Jefferson Turner, Lucinda Smith, James M.O. Turner, Robert J. Turner, and the heirs of William Turner, and the heirs of Mary A. England, except my land, which at my wife['s] death, I will to Mary A. England heirs and William Turner heirs, to be equally divided between them, that is equally between each set of said heirs, having heretofore given the other children all the land I design[ed] for them. And lastly, I appoint my son, Robert J. Turner, to execute this my last will and testament, in witness whereof I here set my name. William x Turner" ["x" is surrounded by notation, "his mark."] "This day personally appeared before me, R. J. Maxey, County Court Clerk, Monroe County, Kentucky, Marmaduk[e] N. Jeffreys, of lawful age and resident of Monroe County, Kentucky, and made oath in due form of law that the above is copy in substance of a will signed by William Turner, in his lifetime and acknowledged in his presence, signed and sworn to.... ... this 13th day of Sept. 1864" "This day personally appeared before me, R.J. Maxey, County Court Commissioner Samuel Ray, and of lawful age and a resident of the County of Monroe and State of Kentucky, and made oath in due form of law that the [illegible] as foregoing contains the substance of a will which he drafted for William Turner and in his lifetime, which [illegible] he agreed by making his mark and acknowledged it to be his will, that the same such person in open court and [illegible] the said will and record of the same [illegible] has been destroyed by fire. Samuel Ray ...this 14th day of September, 1864" ----------------------------- This difficult to decipher reference to a fire might refer to the court house fire of 1863. This seems to open up the possibility that WILLIAM TURNER might have died before the court house fire, and his Will was here being re-recorded. Anyone have any comments or ideas about this? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Jimmy, Are you Jimmy Isenberg from Summer Shade? Mike is the genealogist in our family. I saw your name and thought "small world". Margaret Bartley Fraser Jimmy T.
