Following is my list of Harford County TURNER ancestors: 1 Frank Cosen TURNER born October 6, 1871 died March 31, 1941 married Mary Gallion BOWMAN 2 Cosen Cassard? TURNER born August 25, 1895 Died October 14, 1946 married Gertrude CUSHING 3 Frank C. Turner 3 Mary G. TURNER married Raymond Lee Reed, Jr. There is dispute of the father's name of Frank Cosen TURNER. The marriages book by Jon Livezey has one record and the cemetary records of H.S. Bailey have another. I have either Charles or George TURNER as Frank C. TURNER's father and Mary or May Way as the mother. I have not yet found conclusive proof of a full name for Charles or George. Any help with these TURNERs would be greatly appreciated. Jackie REED

Hi! Does anyone know who the ancestors were of Nancy C. TURNER who married Newton C. MCINTOSH? Their son William Jasper was born in Williamson Co. TN on 24 May 1848. Rumor has it that she might've been part Cherokee. Elise

I am looking for information on TALBERT TURNER who is my grandmother's father. My grandmother, just to give you a time reference, was born in Spiro, OK, November 1896. Does anyone have any information on him? Thanks. Barbara DAVIDSON Norkus

Hi List Members, I'm new to the list and I was wandering if anyone was researching or had information regarding Louis P. TURNER. He married Meslie L. JACKSON. They had one known child, William Franklin TURNER born Jan 22 1868 in Taylor, Marion Co., Mo. died June 4 1959 in Camp Point, Adams Co., IL. married Anna May BREWER April 26 1893 in Metropolis, Massac Co. IL. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Judi jgilker@adams.net

Looking for information on and parents of John H. TURNER. I'll start with the persons who I think are his parents, but I have no proof. John H. was 28 in the 1850 census, so was already out of his parents house. Lewis Turner born c1785 in SC (according to census). He married Adjesta KENNEDY (b-1802 in GA) on July 24, 1817 in Clarke Co., AL. Their children were born between 1822 and 1840 in Mississippi: John H., Melinda, Elizabeth, Melissa, Narcissa, Ajusta. 1850 Census-Simpson Co., Miss Turner, Lewis 65 SC Farmer Augusta 48 GA Melinda 21 Miss Elizabeth 17 Miss Melissa 16 Miss Narcissa 13 Miss Ajusta 10 Miss William J. 16 AL (Laborer) 1860 Census-Simpson Co., Miss, City of Old Hickory, page 80, line 530 Turner, Lewis 75 SC Agusta 60 GA Elizabeth 27 Miss Melissa 25 Miss Narcissa 22 Miss Shedenick Thomas 22 Miss Agusta 19 Miss 1870 Census-Simpson Co., Miss, pg 299, Mt. Zion Post Office Turner, Louis 83 SC Ajestia 70 GA Elizabeth 36 Miss Malisa 34 Miss Nancy 32 Miss William 19 Miss ========== John H. TURNER was born about 1822 in Miss and died before 1880 (as he was not in the 1880 census) in Polk Co., TX. He married Martha Emmaline (Emily) COOK b-1825 in Miss and died after 1880. They moved to Texas between 1854 and 1859. I have the 1850, 1860 and 1880 census record of these Turners if anyone is interested. There may have been trouble in the family or some other happening as in 1860 Emily lived next door to her husband and family with a Belinda Turner, 32. Sure would be interesting to know why. John H. TURNER and Emily COOK had the following children: Matilda Ann 1843 in Simpson Co., Miss d-May 13, 1924 married Andrew J. BRAZIL on Nov 1, 1865 David 1847 Payton c1848 Josephine c1849 married Jason GREEN Caroline c1854 married George GREEN Sara c1858 married Henry MCMELLON Elizabeth(Betty) c1862 married Jim DRENER William (Bill) c1853 John C. c1855 James c1865 Would appreciate any information on this TURNER line. Thank you Jean Robicheaux Buna, Jasper Co., TX

I am seeking parents of Mary Magdalene TURNER. She was born in MD and married Peter ELLER in Belmont County OH in 1847. They are listed in the 1850 Belmont Co., Somerset Twp., OH census. Also in the same census Richard & Annamary TURNER, both born in MD, and John TURNER, born in MD, are in the same vicinity. Would one of these have been her father? Outside of the 1850 census and marriage license, I have no further information on her except she may have had sisters Ann and Roseanna. Would love to make a connection -- any help appreciated.

His obituary read as follows: "...[he] had >resided in this county for many years; as a husband and parent he was >kind, affectionate and amiable; as a friend he was sincere, as a citizen > >he was upright and conciliatory, and as a Christian he was pious, >exemplary, and correct..." (The Recorder, July 26, 1828). Samuel Cook >left a very detailed will.

I found 14 Turner Cherokee listed in Starr's genealogy of Old Cherokee Families. To get there, go to http://members.aol.com/rarebk Then, go to booklists, and scroll down till you see the Starr book. You can invoke the entire book's surname index from there. The site also has listed the 1835 Cherokee census, a Cherokee genealogy tutorial to show you how to do Cherokee genealogy research, and many cherokee genealogy sources. A great site.

Turner. Otis, Esq., Cashier of the Hamilton Bank, Boston, at half past one o'clock A. M., at his residence, 66 Charles street, July 21st [1855], ae. 59, of a disease on the brain, with which he had been confined to his house since the 3d inst. Mr. Turner was connected with the Hamilton Bank until the time of his death, as Teller and Cashier from its incorporation, for the past twenty-seven years. Correct, prompt and energetic in the performance of its arduous duties, and that he was fathful to his trusts no one can gainsay. Calumny alone would breathe a blight over his memory. Handsome in features, erect in personal appearance, above the medium height, reserved in deportment, exem plary in character, precise in all business affairs, possessed of no ordinary intelligence, endowed with much general information, quite a genius for mechanics, which he employed in his leisure moments for his amusement; and by strict economy leaves his family with an ample competence. Beloved by his children, and by a wide circle of friends, their regrets for his death are only exceeded by what they know to be their loss. Mr. Turner was a lineal descendant, in the 7th Generation, from Humphry, of Plymouth (1630), and Scituate (1633), whose son John ("young son,") of Scituate, had Japhet, of Duxbury and Pembroke, had Joshua, of Pembroke, had John (Judge,) of Pembroke, had John, Jr., of Pembroke, had Otis, of Pembroke and Boston, who had Otis, Jr., (only son, born Oct. 1796), of Boston.

Hi folks, I've run across a couple of articles in the NEHGR that might interest some, and since I've already transcribed them, I figured I'd pass them to the list. Cheers! Bobbie =============== Thomas Larkin Turner was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, Aug. 17, 1812. He was the son of Captain Larkin and Sally (Gould) Turner of Lexington, Massachusetts. Captain Larkin8 was the son of Joshua7 and Lydia (Drury) Turner, the line of Turner ancestry being through Joseph6, three Japheths,5,4,3, and a John2, to Humphrey1, who came to to Plymouth, Massachusetts, from England about 1630. Thomas Larkin Turner entered Harvard College at the age of sixteen, but left to complete his studies with the well-known Dr. Hurd of Charlestown. At twenty he sailed to the East Indies in one of "Billy" Gray's famous East India merchantmen, under his father's command. During the following years he visited many foreign countries. Returning home, he studied surveying under Felton, one of the best surveyors of that day. In 1839, he established himself as a druggist in Boston, and continued in the business for about forty years. His first marriage was with Elizabeth Deffiner Whiton, daughter of Royal Whitton of Hingham, April 3, 1843. She died in December, 1879, and in 1881 he married Sara A. Loomis (daughter of Daniel Loomis of Braintree, Vt.), who died April 13, 1896. >From 1843 to 1891 his home was in Boston. In 1891 he removed to North Weymouth, where until his death, April 10, 1897, he spent his time in quiet retirement with his books, and in the loved companionship of his niece, Miss Mary A. Flint, who for eight years filled the place of a daughter in the home. Dr. Turner was warmly interested in New England history and genealogy, and was for many years an active and honored member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. He had a peculiar fondness for anything relating to the famiy history of the Turners, and his library contained a valuable collection of publications by those of that name, both here and abroad.

This is a e-mail and reply from Congressman Vic Snider Arkansas regarding charges for using the internet, that some have been concerned about. ---------- From: dturner[SMTP:dturner@conwaycorp.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 1998 1:40 PM To: Snyder Public Mail Subject: Internet Is there a bill before congress to charge for using the internet, Equal to a Long Distance call each time you access the Internet? If so this type of charge should be paid by the Telephone Company the Long Distance service or the Internet provider because the users already paying for this service. Danny Turner _______________ Dear Danny: Thank you for contacting me regarding stories you heard about Congress or the FCC imposing per-minute usage charges on consumer access to Internet Service Providers through their local phone companies. I am pleased to report that neither Congress nor the FCC has any intention of assessing per minute charges on Internet traffic or of making any changes in the way consumers obtain and pay for access to the Internet. The FCC told me that this rumor started out of the debate over how competing local phone companies will compensate each other for connecting each others' local calls. However, the FCC assures me that no matter how this dispute is resolved, it still will not result in consumers being charged for access to Internet Service Providers that offer local connections. Sincerely - Vic Snyder
