    3. Hello, I have been on this list for several yrs and every so often, decide to send my queries for my Turner line. I am looking for the ancestry of an Alexander Turner who was born around 1792 in VA (probably present day WV). He is shown in the 1850 Preston Co census and was still living around 1865 when his son, Arthur married his 3rd wife, Nancy Fox in Ritchie Co WV. Alexander's wife apparently died before 1850. I have seen references to an Alexander and Jane Turner who settled in present day Preston Co in 1790. I have found reference to a Jane Turner living in that area in 1810 (per census record), but no mention of Alexander, making me believe that if this is the same Jane, than Alexander died between 1790-1810. Alexander Turner (b 1792) was listed as a "wagon wheel maker" as was his son, Arthur. Arthur (my ancestor) was born in 1825 and moved to Monongalia Co (per 1850 census) before finally settling in Ritchie Co WV (per 1860 and 1870 census records). I am hoping some other Turner researcher is also connected to this line and can shed some light on Alexander's ancestry. I would be more than happy to share what I have on Arthur's line.
