I am new to the list so here's my pitch: James TURNER was born c. 1798, living in Fentress Co., TN next to Nathan TURNER, born c. 1803. James married Jane HOOD from VA and had at least 2 sons, Pinkney (1833) and Andrew Jackson (1838), and a daughter, Nice (1840). James and Nathan were both from South Carolina. Andrew Jackson TURNER married Kisiah SMITH, daughter of George and Polly SMITH of Fentress Co TN. They had George Washington (1857), Polly Jane (1859), James (1861), John (1864), Thomas T (1869), Charlotta (1868), Minerva (1870), Calvin B (1872), Andrew (1875), Margaret (1877), Nicey Belle (1879), and Daily (1881). The family moved to Cumberland Co TN in the 50s. George W. married Martha HICKSON, daughter of William and Eliza Hickson of Greene Co TN and had George W. (1880), Duran (1883), Mary Jane (1885), John C. (1886), Hattie H. (1887), Harrison (1889), Martin (1891), Thomas T. (1893) and Elma (1894). The family moved to Washington State in 1892 and Harrison married Lottie MACK (1892), daughter of Melvin and Celinda MACK of Iowa. Harry and Lottie had Agnes (1916), Stella (1918), Harry (1919), Fred (1922) and Frances Mable (1924). Hopefully, this will ring a bell for someone or somebody has a Will book or land records they can do a look up for me.

Material taken from the book - Gone to Georgia by William C. Stewart. Jackson County, GA reports the following names (If I read this right - several names are mixed between counties.) Pleasant Turner - 1820 Census, was a Rev. veteran. Name also found in Goochland, VA in 1782, also found in Wilkes Co, GA. 1803 lottery along with Meshack and John Turner of Pittsylvania--Henry Co.

Another Terisha Turner died in ca 1772 with widow Frances Lyon, d of John Lyon, married John Bailey. 1780 Terisha Turner married Elizabeth Thomas. He was the son of Stephen Turner. Some members of this family move to Warren co, NC where Thomas Turner left a will in 1788. 1790 in Warren the following are listed Edward, James, John (2), Terasha and Stephen Turner. In will the following are named: Susannah, Hendley, Tersia, William, Stephen, and Ransom. 1820 Ga. other Turners - Madison Co. John and John D. Turner.

Shadrack's will 1783/84 in Henry co names wife Ann and children Larkin, Jeremiah, wm, Exeony, John, Josiah, Mary Hunter, and other kinsmen. Stewart's notes are hard to read and I will continue this another time. It skips from one county and area to another. BUt this is a wonderful book. If you don't have it, purchase it if you trace early GA families. Have your library purchase it. Deana Dcost@compuserve. com

I'm asking for help again from the list. We seem to have found a "crack" in our brick wall, so now I need information on any of the following lines: William TURNER married Sarah POINTER, 1794, Clark Co, KY William TURNER married Frances DODSON, 1791, Granville Co, NC William TURNER married Nancy BOWERS, 1788, Henrico Co, NC Is anyone researching any of these lines? If so, please write to me directly. I'm trying to figure out if any of these could be "my" William. Thanks so much, Anita

Hi fellow Rooters - Searching for any information on my paternal grandmother Bessie Lee TURNER and her husband, my grandfather, Thomas A. PRICE - especially any information on their ancestors or possible siblings, and exactly where in Tennessee she was born. Thomas A. PRICE b. 26-Apr-1862 Russellville, Logan Co., KY d. 01-Mar-1943 Abilene, TX Bessie Lee TURNER b. 13-Oct-1864 Tennessee d. 23-Nov-1941 Abilene, TX Records show that they were married on 19-Sep-1883 in Sumner Co., TN. They moved to Abilene, TX on 24-Dec-1894. Although census files and his obituary show that Thomas was born in Logan Co., KY, whenever asked, my father, John E. Price, Sr., always told people he and his father, Thomas, were from Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY. Thomas' Census listing inTexas verifies my grandmother, Bessie, to have been born in Tennessee, and her tombstone confirmed the vital dates. Her death certificate did not show the first name of either of her parents, only that her mother's maiden name was TRIBUE. But that name is so unusual I can't help wondering if it is possibly a misspelling or a variant of TRABUE, a French Huguenot family name. Her obituary gave no other information not already known, and shown here. A very helpful fellow rooter found her marriage records and we learned for the first time her middle name was Lee. Her tombstone shows a middle initial of T, but that is probably for Turner. Other middle initials have been used in various records, but no name was ever shown. Have hit that well known brick wall on finding any information about either of their parents or siblings. As always, will appreciate any and all information and will be happy to share. John E. Price (Jr.) Ft. Worth, TX

Seeking info on my grt. grandfather WILLIAM(BILL)TURNER, I believe he may have been born in Kentucky. Married to RODA ANN(BREWER)TURNER. They had eight children, Willie,James,Allie,Rice,Charles,John,Grover and Levi(my grandfather) Any info about this family wil be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you,Teresa Turner Carter

Did a mail dump and lost an query... need little help. Would the individual who was looking for a particular Helms and contacted me via personal address, requesting my help... could you send it again. It has been a while back, but mine is a paper database therefore it took a bit of time to research and then all that keyboard entry. Hope you can appreciate the time required to break out a branch family so that it can be reproduced... All that to excuse time it has taken. It will probably take 10 to 15 pages to print out and contains info on living, therefore cannot post as a "rtf" file as with Wood. If you know you're the one referred to, send msg. _Mitosis_

I've been asked by John to post the following to our Turner list. If you have any leads for him, please contact him directly at jweller51@hotmail.com. Thanks! Anita I am searching for info on a Laquita Joy Turner b c 1932-33 around San Antonio, Bexar, TX. She may not have been from there, I have several different reports...San Angelo, Abilene, etc. I do know that she lived in San Antonio around 1950-51 and she worked as a waitress at the Weller's Grill on Lasoya St! I would like to contact her if she is still alive! This is my birth mother! I would like to finish my family tree, among other things! Please contact me at: jweller51@hotmail.com Thanks...John

Ditto with the Chunns...their lines that stayed in MD I have not traced because my own line came to Fauquier Co VA. Samuel Turner SR of Turner's Forest left a will in Charles Co MD in 1746. He was the son of Edward Turner whose will was proved in St Mary's Co MD in 1709 and his 3rd wife Mary Smith. I have seen two wills which could be the father of EDWARD: William Turner, who had a son Edward named in his will in Calvert Co 1663, and Arthur Turner, who also left a son Edward. Samuel married Lydia Dent, dau of Capt John Dent and Mary Hatch. Their children as far as I have them: 1. Edward c1701-1772 m Elenor Wilson and had 12 children 2. John 3. Samuel c1702-1764 m Verlinda McPherson...this is my line 4. Micha 5. Ruth 6. Bernard Samuel Turner JR and Verlinda McPherson had these children: 1.

I have a John William Turner, born May 11, 1797 in Maryland. He came to Wilkes County, Georgia around 1815 with Amos Chunn. I have traced Amos Chunn back to Charles County, Maryland. He shows up in the Charles County, Maryland, Trinity Parish census in 1800 and 1810. He was listed on the same page as a Samuel Turner, Jr. who was born between 1765 & 1784. He has a male listed with him as being born 1794 - 1800 which could be John William Turner. I have no further information as to the parentage of John William Turner and why he came to Georgia with Amos Chunn. John William Turner (sometimes known as William) is found in the Wilkes County, Georgia census in 1820. He was also in Merriwether County, Georgia with Amos Chunn in 1830. That is the last time he shows up in a census, but I have his 2nd wife (widow) and children in Oglethorpe County, Georgia census and other children In Elbert County, Georgia.

The children of John William Turner are: Robert Hughes Turner, James Edward Turner, John William Turner, Jr, Valentine(Vol) Turner, Mary Elizabeth Turner, Samuel S. Turner (killed at Cold Harbor in Civil War), Mary Frances Turner, George Washington Turner (my line), and Martha A.(Mattie) Turner.
