>From the tombstone of William T. "Toll" Turner, son of John A. Turner, in Isenberg Cemetery, at Emberton, in Monroe County: W.T. Turner May 1, 1830 May 27, 1914 Co H 9th Reg Ky Inf In the 1850 Monroe County Census, "Toliver Turner," age 19, was listed in the household of his widowed grandmother, Jane England. William Toliver Turner was not yet married. He was also predictably absent from his parents' (John & WilliAnn) household. His grandfather shared his first name, and his uncle William T. shared both, so it doesn't seem surprising that Toll Turner or his family might have inclined toward the use of his middle name to tell them apart. His death certificate reads only "Toll Turner," and I believe subsequent censuses use only "William T." or "W.T." I sometimes see it listed in family trees as "William Tolbert Turner." Do any descendants of this Turner family happen to know how Tolbert came to stand for Toll Turner's middle name, instead of Toliver? thanks, Charles R.
