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.
