    3. Lowell: Your inquiry about Green Berry caught my attention. The following information may be helpful. Let me know if it is. My Great Grandfather was John Boswell TURNER. I don't know his date of birth or where it happened. My grandfather, William Hammond TURNER was born 5/22/1857 in Dalton GA. His mother was Frances Melvina Williams Nelms TURNER, born 3/09/1816 somewhere in VA. She died 3/07/1906 and is buried in GA (I believe in Atlanta). I don't know when or where John Boswell Turner died. Frances Melvina Williams first husband had been John NELMS, a USArmy calvaryman who died (we think) in a battle of the Mexican American War. There was one son, John Nelms Jr. from that marriage. Frances and John Boswell had five children, William Hammond, Laura, Green Berry, Taylor, and Lula. I don't know the birth order except we believe Green Berry was older than William Hammond, therefore born before 1857. Green Berry lived (we believe) in Nashville. William Hammond died when my mother was about 7 so she doesn't know very much about his family. I have to think that Green Berry was a name that had been previously used in the family. Were there any Boswells or Hammonds in your family roots? Bill Tucker
