I have Dolly's family traced back as far as the 1870 census and land records of patents obtained in 1858. She appears to have been the daughter of Robert B and Martha A (Camp)Turner, although there is a mystery in that she is listed in the 1900 census living with her brothers, John M. and Walter I Turner with Martin Turner as the head of house and they are listed as sons and daughter and Dolly's children listed as grandchildren. I'm not sure if Martha A remarried a Turner relative or what the situation may be.Dolly remarried in 1901 a man named Harvey or Harry Smith and had three children, Ruth, Robert and Roy. Blanche's brother, Emerson, may have married a Willbanks(Beth?) and moved north (WI?) after 1930. The 1930 census shows him with children, Connie, Carl, Mildred and Nora. I also show Rober! t B. Turner as being born in Mo, and there are Turners listed in the 1840 census for New Madrid, Little Prairie Twp(James and John) and the 1930 census for New Madrid (Thomas) but I can't tell if he is the child of one of these or not. If any of this matches someone else's info or sparks a memory, I would appreciate hearing from you. I will be happy to share anything I can.
