I need some help with locating information on my grandmother's family. Following are the facts I have. I did not list all the children in all census records. Just the ones I thought would be necessary to show.                                                Name                 Age            BP     FBP       MBP      YB 1850 Jefferson Co. census: Turley, Zadock          45               Ky.                                                    Margaret        39               VA.                                                    Licel              20              Mo.                                                    Charlotte        18              Mo.                                                    Lavinia A.       16              Mo.                                                    Cassandra      14              Mo.                                                    Joseph           13              Mo.                                                    Elizabeth        11              Mo.                                                    Strother           9               Mo.                                                    Ruthy              7               Mo.                                                    Willis              6               Mo.                                                     Samuel          2               Mo. 1860 Jefferson Co. census  Turley, Zadoc             56              Va.                                                    Joseph            23              Mo.                                                    Elizabeth        21              Mo.                                                    Strauther         19             Mo.                                                    Rutha              17              Mo.                                                    Willious           15              Mo.                                                    Samuel            13             Mo                                                    Zadoc M.         3               Mo. 1860 Jefferson Co. census: Glaze, Lavinia             28              Mo.                                                   Mary D.             5               Mo. 1860 Oregon Co. census:  Rowlet, D.L.               28               Ky.                                                  Margaret A.      26               Tn.                                                  William R.         1                Ky. 1870 Jefferson C. census:  Muse, Wm.

Death certificate of Serena in 1915 says she was born June 17, 1858 in Jeff erson Co., Mo. Her father's name is given as George Glave. Her mother's maiden name is Turley. Birthplace of mother is given as Jefferson Co., Mo. Informant was her husband, William Rowlett. Death certificate of Serena's oldest son, William Franklin Rowlett says he was born in Mo. Father's name is William Rowlett. Mother's name is Sernia. Informant was his wife, Oma. Death certificate of Serena's next child, Alice Rowlett Streckfus says he was born in Ky. Father's name is Wm. Rowlette. Mother's name is Anne Glaze. Funeral home record of Serena's child, John Rowlett, says his father's name is William Rowlett and his mother's maiden name is Turley. Death certificate of Serena's child, Ernest Rowlett, says he was born in Mo. Father's name is William Rowlett. Mother's name is Serena Glave. Gideon Glaze and Lavinia Turley were married Nov. 24, 1853 in Valle Township, Jefferson Co., Mo. by Geo. W. Harrison, J.P. Recorded Dec. 20, 1853. In a book, Turley Family Records, it is stated that Margaret Turley (wife of Zadoc) died between 1857 and 1860. This appears to be based on the fact that she was not listed in the 1860 census and tha Zadoc M. (Minar) Turley was listed in the census as born in 1857. Zadoc Turley died before Nov. 24, 1871. His heirs were listed by son in law A.F. Stephens, as administrator on Nov. 27, 1871. Heirs were as follows: Charlotte Moon, Leissel turley, Eliza J. Weaver, Lavinia Glaze, Cassandra Stephens, Joseph Turley, Strother Turley, Heirs Elizabeth Hohlman Dec., Willis Turley, Rutha Larkins, Saml Turley, & Zadoc M. Turley. Zadoc died without a will. In the settlement papers Zadock M. Turley, signed Minar Turley, received $35.80 on 17 Sept. 1878 as partial settlement. This settlement indicates that Lavinia Glaze was alive in 1871. She has not been found in the 1870 census. I, Tom Rowlett, am the grandson of William Rowlett and Serena Glaze Rowlett. My father was Ernest Rowlett. Serena died in 1815 in Trumann, Ark. William Rowlett died in 1942 in Trumann. William Rowlett told my mother that his wife, Serena, had a half brother named Minar Turley. Some time before Serena died, Minar Turley came to William's and Serena's home in Trumann to see Serena. After this one time, they never saw him again. This was told to my mother by my grandfather. I have located census records that show Minar living in Ark. in 1820 and have a copy of his will, dated 1834, in Ark. He never married and had no children. The questions are: Was Minar Turley a half brother to Serena Glaze and raised by his grandfather, Zadoc Turley, as his own son? Was Minar Turley an uncle to Serena Glaze? If so, then it is quite a coincidence that Gideon and Lavinia married in 1853, Mary D. Glaze was born in 1855, Minar Turley was born in 1857, Serena Glaze was born in 1858 or 1860, Gideon Glaze does not appear on the census in 1860, and Margaret Turley does not appear on the census in 1860. Did Margaret have a number of children every two or so years and then from Samuel, born 1848, not another one until Minar in 1857 and then pass away before the 1860 census? Or, did she die after Samuel was born? Were Gideon and Lavinia the parents of Serena as it appears? This has been the most difficult problem to solve that I have come across in thirty years of research. If anyone can shed some light on this I would be very grateful. Thanks, Tom Rowlett
