Problem death cert. and attachment to family. Found the following death cert which contained all sorts of conflicts with other info. Rechecked the death cert. Below are facts, comments, speculation, and questions. Hope someone who researches these family has good sources to help straighten out the conflicts. I don't know much (yet) on the Turners. Billie Jones Camden, SC [email protected] --------------------------------------------------- 1918 - Death Cert. #31089, Saluda Co, SC (Rath/Roth/Ralph) Turner Male, White, child age: 1 yr, 5mo, Saluda Co, SC [Rechecked] father: W. M. Turner, Saluda Co, SC mother: Sophia Bledsoe, Saluda Co, SC d. Sept 23, 1918, Saluda township#7, Saluda Co, SC [Rechecked] cause: diptheria informant: (S. g) Bledsoe Buried: (Dry Creek), Johnston, [Edgefield Co, SC ] UT: Lott-Walker, Johnston, SC I don't find a Ralph Turner buried at Dry Creek per Our Saluda Co Ancestors info on Dry Creek recorded by Mary B. Parkman, Tima Bently & Donnie Willis, 28 Feb. 1990, but do find one buried at Rocky Creek Bapt. Church, Saluda Co, SC However, dates in the cem. records conflict, altho parents seem to be the same Rechecked this death cert, and the age at death and the death date are what is on the Death Cert. This date of death IS a PRIMARY SOURCE in a death certificate. The date of death given in the Rocky Creek Baptist Church cem. records is NOT considered primary. Could this be the above.... note the death date above is the birthdate below??? Rocky Creek Baptist Church, Saluda Co, SC Turner, James Earl 1923 1924 *Turner, Ralph Sep 23 1918 Oct 17 1918 Turner, Infant Turner, William [M.] Apr 5 1874 Apr 16 1961 Turner, Sophia [E.] BLEDSOE Mar 29 1892 Oct 16 1961 Ralph Turners age of 1 yr 5 mo would make his birthdate 23 Apr 1917, which also is NOT a primary source HC has this on them in his Turner file from census records. 1. William Turner (b. 1877 SC, m. Sophia (b. 1893 SC))[1910][1920] 2. Nannie Lee Turner (b. 1912 SC)[1920] 2. William Ray Turner (b. 1915 SC)[1920] 2. Lula Mae Turner (b. 1918 SC)[1920] Where does Sophia Bledsoe Turner belong in the Bledsoe lines? HC Ouzt's Bledsoe file has her attached to Rufus L. Bledsoe (b. 12/1857 SC)[1860](m.1. Ellen S. (b. 1861 SC))[1880] Rufus [1900](2. Mary (b. 1880 SC))[1910] Rufus [1920]. I am not familiar with this line. Now my question about Ralph's father William Turner. Is he possibly the Williams, son, in the following family? Or have I found a different William?? 1 William A. TURNER b: 1833 d: Aft.
