    1. TURNER, PARKER, COLEMAN, SCOTT, GORDON, etc.
    2. Hi, listers; I was wondering if I could enlist the help of Turner descendants. I'm just beginning the transcription of an undocumented Chancery Court case which I'm sure will involve more than just the names I've found so far. On the outer jacket of the case, it's styled, "Scott vs. Turner, et als". So far, I've found depositions from Nath'l Parker, Jr. (1775-1858); his son-in-law, John G. Turner (1803-ca 1873); Powhatan Gordon (I have no info on him); Francis Scott (again, no info); and Sumpter Turner (no info). So far, I know that the case involves a dispute of a bill and perhaps land and stock in the Nashville Turnpike that was put up as collateral for repayment of the debt. I'm particularly interested, though, in Sumpter Turner and his relationship to John G.Turner. As I understand it, John G. Turner was a son of James S. and Nancy (Goodrum) Turner. I've seen his name in other lawsuits, and, even though I'm not a descendant of his, I would like to know more about him and was wondering if anyone out there would mind to share info. I'll be glad to share transcriptions of the depositions as I complete them. Thanks in advance, Sherry
