Thank you, Mary for responding to my query. I don't care if she was a Turner or a Turney as long as I can get a lead on her :o) Alexander Thomas Logan was b. in Amherst Co., VA. How far he traveled into TN before he met Eliza is unknown. Apparently he took her back to VA where Martha Jane was born. By 1838 they had moved on to MO. I'll start searching the counties you mentioned.
