I am interested in this line. I have an ancestor named Turner HARRISON from Halifax Co NC. I don't know the connection to a TURNER line, but if I found one, I am sure it would answer some of my questions. I do not know where the HARRISONs lived before they moved to Halifax, but the married into a family from Sussex VA who also moved. I have not checked Southampton records yet. Any help would be appreciated.
