James Monroe Parks was my 3rd great grandfather. He was a brother to your 2nd great grandmother, Rebecca Parks. Do you know of other sibblings of the family besides, Willis A. Parks, James M. Parks, William Foster Parks, and Rebecca Parks? I would be interested in what you have on the family of Sarah Rebecca Parks Harding and her family. Do you have any pictures of the family too? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Cousin Brad Gale

His father was William Turner (b. 1800 in S.C.). They were also in Jefferson Co., Ala. before coming to Winston Co., MS. Whereever I find them, I've also found Larkin Tarrant Turner (Sr.) and Jr. ---- so, I assume they must be related. I have tried to discover what the "T" in Gideon's name stands for, but have had no luck finding out. I believe Larkin Tarrant Turner Sr. was his uncle and that William Sr. and Larkin Tarrant Sr. were brothers. I realize that this sheds no light on your McClanahans, except that they all keep appearing in the same places at the same time. Also, Gideon's youngest brother (James Thomas Turner (b. 1830) had a son named Larkin Thomas Turner (b. 1860) and the name, Larkin, keeps occurring throughout the family. I can only think that the orginal Larkin Tarrant Turner (Sr.) (born 1805) must have been related to MY Turners. What is the name of the cemetary in Choctaw County where Mary Ann and Larkin are buried? Thanks for your help. Shelby

They married in Jefferson Co., AL 30 Oct. 1832 before moving to MS. Both are buried in Choctaw Co., MS. I connect to the McClanahan and McKenzie families who came from Greenville Co., SC to Winston Co., MS and believe that Larkin Tarrant Turner connects in some way to the Tarrants of Greenville Co., SC - so would like to know about his family.
