    3. Searching for information about my paternal grandmother, Bessie (or possibly Elizabeth) TURNER, b. 13-Oct-1864 somewhere in Tennessee. She and my grandfather, Thomas A. PRICE, (b. 26-Apr-1862 in Russellville, Logan Co., KY) were married 19-Sep-1883 in Tennessee and moved to Abilene, Taylor Co., TX 24-Dec-1884. At the suggestion of several of my fellow rooters, I sent off for her death certificate and found that her mother's maiden name was TRIBUE. There is a chance that TRIBUE was a misspelling, or maybe a variant spelling of TRABUE, the family name of a group French Huguenots that fled their homeland in the 1600's to escape religious persecution. One line of Trabues migrated to the DAVIDSON Co., TN area and were prominent in business, medicine and politics, where Charles Trabue was mayor of NASHVILLE 1830-32. Does anybody have any information on these Trabues? Hopefully there may be some connection here. And does anybody have any information on a TURNER male, born possibly 1837 to 1844, and a TRABUE (or TRIBUE) female, born possibly 1840 to 1844, who married probably earlier than 1863, somewhere in Tennessee, possibly in Davidson County, and had a daughter, Bessie, (or Elizabeth) b. 13-Oct-1864. Many thanks to all who have been so helpful. As always, I'll be most happy to share any information I have. John E. Price JohneP4596@aol.com Ft. Worth, TX
