1820 BUCKINGHAM COUNTY VA CENSUS: "William Turner, So N": Males: 2 (0-10) 2 (under 16) 1 (under 45) Females: 2 (0-10) 1 (under 45) "Joseph Turner": Males: 1 (0-10) 1 (under 45) Females: 1 (0-10) 1 (16-26) ----------------- 1830 MONROE COUNTY KY CENSUS: "William Turner": Males: 3 (5-9) 1 (15-19) 1 (20-29) 1 (40-49) Females: 1 (0-4) 2 (10-14) 1 (40-49) "Joseph Turner": Males: 1 (0-4) 2 (5-9) 1 (10-14) 1 (30-39) Females: 1 (0-4) 1 (10-14) 1 (30-39) ------------------- JOSEPH TURNER, b. 1790 [1850: age 60] LYDIA TURNER, b. 1790 [1850: age 60] WILLIAM TURNER, b. 1788 [1850: age 62] FRANCES TURNER, b. 1789 [1850: age 61] JOHN A. TURNER, b. Jun 12 1808 [1820: age 12; 1850: age 42] WYATT N. TURNER, b. Jan 10 1810 [1820: age 10; 1850: age 40] JESSE JEFFERSON TURNER, b. 1812-13 [1820: age 8; 1850: age 38] MARY A. TURNER (____ ENGLAND), b. 1815-18 [1820: age 0-10; deceased before 1850; children--oldest, age 12--living with grandparents, 1850] JAMES M.O. TURNER, b. 1819-20 [1820: age 0-10; 1850, age 31] ROBERT J. TURNER, b. 1822-23 [1850: age 29] WILLIAM T. TURNER, b. 1824-25 [1850: age 26; deceased by 1864] LUCINDA C. TURNER (ROBERT SMITH), b. 1825-26 [1850: AGE 25; 1860, age 48?] There was a third female (10-14 or 0-4), unaccounted for in WILLIAM'S will or elsewhere, if 1830 Monroe County Census figures are correct--unless this female was not a member of the family. Also, John A. Turner, who was married in 1830, is unaccounted for in WILLIAM'S household in the 1830 Monroe Census, and may have been living in another household. --------------- I hope that other family tree connections that have been made for this WILLIAM TURNER to Franklin, Patrick, Mathews or another VA county will be compared with this evidence. There was no WILLIAM in 1820 Mathews County, and the profile for this WILLIAM does not match either 1820 Franklin or Patrick County. WILLIAM and JOSEPH TURNER match from 1820 BUCKINGHAM to 1830 MONROE--the only ones in 1820 VA that do match. This, taken together with the families of HOODS who made the trip from Buckingham to Monroe, seem to clearly connect this WILLIAM TURNER to NICHOLAS TURNER of old BUCKINGHAM COUNTY, and I'm convinced we have to look for his and JOSEPH'S roots there. The goal is simply to find the right connection for WILLIAM and JOSEPH, not to trump or devalue anyone else's work. I hope other TURNER researchers will agree. Charles R.

A correction--about JOHN A. TURNER'S whereabouts in the 1830 Monroe County Census: I noted that he was married in 1830. But clearly his son, WILLIAM T. TURNER, was born in 1830--according to his tombstone and death certificate. So, JOHN and WILLIANN ENGLAND TURNER and their new son must have been somewhere else in 1830--as they were missing from the household of his parents, WILLIAM and FRANCES TURNER. So, evidently JOHN A. was married earlier than 1830. Anyone have a clue about JOHN A.'s whereabouts in 1830? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
