Since when the Swiss Thuny family arrived, their records were often under Ternay, Tunni, etc, and Turner.....maybe some Turner researcher has come across my Turney I am looking for. I believe a John Thuny/Turney arrived in Maryland in 1740-1750. I have the Rev War pension on a Henry Turney I think was his son. Since the area I have to research in MD is full of Turner/Murphy, I am not always sure about the records I have to search. Rev War pension on Henry Turney say: born on January 1, 1753 in Nanjemoy, Charles Co., Maryland. His father moved the family to Buncombe County, NC where he was living when he enlisted in REv. War. In the fall of 1779 he moved to Davidson County, NC (present day Nashville, TN area). Around 1789 he moved to Smith Co., Tennessee where he married his second wife Nancy Jones in February 1831. He applied for his pension in 1833 and died February 4, 1836. His first wife was Martha Lancaster who he married Dec 13, 1788 in Davidson Co. He often in TN is shown as HY Turney. Now, my cousin lives in Maryland and last spring I sent her out to search for a Baptist church cemetery in Charles Co where I had been told Turney were buried - I am not sure she found the correct cemetery, but she found Turner all over the place. Someone did a look-up for me in Maryland Militia in Revolutionary War and found a William Turney listed as being a member of Captain Hezikiah Garner's Co in 1777, in Charles Co. I understand many from that unit belonged to Durham parish area. Everything I look at for 1740s- to about 1760 in that area of Maryland is Turner. Since the Turner/Turney name were mixed up at times in early records, have any of you Turner found something that might be my Turney? He was probably German speaking Swiss - would have arrived 1740-1750, I think the father was John, but John Thuny in Switzerland had 3 brothers. I have Tennessee info on this Henry Turney, but just cannot find him or his father in Maryland - and I need that to know if it is the same family as my Turneys. One of the PA branchs of my Turney is Dorney. Thanks for the help. Mary Turney Miller hlm@qtm.net
