John Turner, his wife Mary Botfield Turner and their extended family came across the Oregon trail from Maryland, via an extended stay in Indiana, in 1849. Dropping down through Nevada and coming into California through the Placerville area. His daughter Rebecca Grayless died in Diamond Springs, El Dorado Co., Ca and supposedly is buried in Placerville, although her grave is not located in the Placerville Cemetery and no record of her burial is on file (They didn't start recording deaths until 1850.) John Turner ended up in San Joaquin Co. There is a Turner Station sign next to a set of railroad tracks directly off of French Creek Road, just down the road from Park View Cemetery, where he, his wife and some of his children are buried. I would love to know if they traveled with others and if there is any record of their wagon train....or if Turner Station could have one time been a stage coach stop that John and his family ran, or any other information on the Turner family.
