I found Ephriam Turner and James Turner living just a family apart on the 1850 census. Ephriam was still married to a woman named Sally, so I'm guessing it's the Sally Rupe shown in the marriage record that Beth found. Susannah would be a different child, and If my supposition is correct, the neice of Sally and Ephriam Turner. How much you want to bet that Ephriam and James are brothers?
