Author: melbaclark27 Surnames: Turner Classification: census Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.southcarolina.counties.greenville/3888.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The 1840 census for Greenville District, SC is arranged as are some other counties and states. The names are roughly alphabetical, i.e. all the surnames beginning with "A" are on pages 197-199. "B" surnames are on pages 200 -208, etc. The "T" surnames are on pages 277-280. This makes it difficult to determine who were living near each other. -------------------------- On the same page with Berry and Esley [279], are Johnathan and Alfred. Five other Turners are listed on the page before them [278], with only two listed in the ancestry index. They are Armsted and Samuel, listed; with Sion, John and Sterling, unlisted. On page 277, another Jonathan is listed. On page 280, are Felix and William. -------------------------- On page 299, there is one more Turner listed - Joseph. At the end of the list on the last "Y" page [288], is written: "Look beyond Recapitualation Sheet additional names" The next image on ancestry is page 295. Pages 295-300 appear to be pages with those names which were apparently overlooked in the alphabetizing by the enumerator. Again, they are roughly alphabetized, with same letter surnames together, except for nine names at the end of this section, which has its own Recapitualation at the end of the listing on page 300. -------------------------- The 1830 census for Greenville District appears to be arranged the same way. Here are the Turners who are listed on Greenville South Carolina GenWeb. -------------------------- TURNER ---- pg 334 Felix, Pickens, William ---- pg 335 Alfred, Samuel ---- pg 336 Armsted, Berry, Clary, Eliza, John, Jonathan ---- pg 337 Joseph, Sion, Sterling -------------------------- Checking land records is often helpful in finding who lived near each other. ---- Hope this helps, Melba Clark Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
