Don't understand how a list could be turned into only States. With all the migration, seems very few people stayed in one state. Would there then have to be a list for Turner's who weren't originally Turner's?? Here's my dilemma: Searching for Isaac TURNER b 1788 Paris, FR d 1867 Wayne Co., PA. Have no idea of his parentage or siblings. He served in the War of 1812, enlisting in Mamaroneck, Westchester Co., NY. Isaac m Nancy KELLEY in 1848 after he stopped at her farm in Wayne Co., PA and worked for her. (Nancy was previously married to ? VAN GELDER) They had 8 children: Mathilda b 1849 John Milton Franklyn Varney m Carolena Augusta MEYER Mary Angeline James Buchanan Rosilla Correll m 1- LOCKARD 2- HAUSER Elma Martha m 1- DENISON 2- BIRD Elmer Marcus (last 2 were twins) b 1864 Family lore says Isaac 'came from the West' when he stopped at Nancy's farm and that he had been married twice before. Nothing is know of these marriages but he had children from them. In the 1850 Wayne Co., PA census a John TURNER is shown living next door to Isaac/Nancy. His children were: Maria, George and Milton - twins; Victoria and Virginia, and Henry. Since the name MILTON shows up in the children with Nancy plus twins in each family (this also carried into the next generation), I feel this John was an earlier son of Isaac.
