This info may not be especially relevant either, but Turners (Abner) and Paces (brothers Dempsey and John - of Frederick Pace of Wales fame) were still together in Alabama in the early decades of the 19th century where they were among the first settlers in the part of Clarke Co, AL, where I grew up. The Paces took shelter from the Indians in the Turner stockade during the late months of 1813 when the Creek War was just beginning. This stockade was located in West Bend within a mile of the house in which I grew up. Abner Turner was one of the commissioners who supervised the division of the estate of my ancestor William Pace (d. 1826).
