I agree that on a list this broad, dates and places are VERY important...but let's"keep it together." I am looking for the ancestors of Francis Marion Turner, born ~1825 TN, whose parents were born in VA & SC (names unknown) He lived, married, and died in Chariton Co., MO between 1847-1889. Thank you, Bobbie Turner Beasley bebe@simplynet.net -----Original Message----- From: edwin garrison <mad5s@seark.net> To: TURNER-L@rootsweb.com <TURNER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, January 15, 2000 10:25 AM Subject: Re: [TURNER] Two Lists I am all in favor of one list, but do think location and DATES are important to include. They sure narrow it down a lot.
