Mildred, After I posted the message, I did go back through information I had on the family of Henry Turner who died in 1809 in Caswell Co., NC and some of the notes that we have exchanged over the years and did find where you had Edmund (m. Mary Slade) and James C. as children of Thomas. What I would like to confirm is whether there are estate recordsor perhaps deeds of heirs of Thomas Turner that give the names of his children in it. Then do we know for sure that this Thomas Turner is the son of Henry. We do know that he had a son named Thomas. But, I'm trying to remember (have to relook at my census data for Caswell) whether there were more than one Thomas Turner there at the same time. The story (I think we have shared this in our writings) is that Henry Turner who died in 1809 had several brothers. I've also seen some "recollections" that listed some children of Henry that we know the estate papers for him do not support. It is so easy, and has been a common error made by so many researchers, to assume that everyone of the same surname who appear in a county early on were related. But, if by chance Henry did have a brother who happened to settle in Caswell Co. then he too could have had a son named Thomas and or James. You and I also know how many people have tried to make your James Turner (1756-1835) the one who married Lucy Pleasants when you know your James was having children by his first wife Sarah during the years the OTHER James Turner was married to Lucy Pleasants. If you still have the books, is there anything in them that actually proves or lists the children of Thomas Turner. I suspect the books you have stop before the time that Lucy Turner died and left a will in Caswell Co. Thanks for responding.
