My father, George Manuel Turner, knew well his grandmother, Lacy Wadford, but did not know his grandfather's name. In 1969 he took me to Big Creek Cemetery (south of Dothan, AL) but could not find their graves (He said this was the burying grounds for the Wadfords, Mixons, Turners). Have been unable to locate the couple on the 1850 Census, but have followed all the family and descendants since 1860 and verified my father's recollections of his grandmother, uncles/aunts and cousins. Lacy Turner is listed in 1860 and 1870 living near Watford relatived in the Big Creek Commmunity. In 1880 she appears in nearby Jackson Co, FL with the children, again living near Watford relatives. In 1900 the entire family is back living just north of Cottonwood, AL, and Sarah, William, George and John were married with children. Lacy's twins, George and John, were born in Alabama in 1857, so it is assumed that "Unknown Turner" died about that time. Since the oldest son was named William, and George's middle name was William -- I think his name probably was William. Three generations are listed below. Hoping to hear from anyone with a possible connection. 1 Unknown Turner b.Unk (AL) - d. Unk (Abt.1857/59) .. +Lacy Wadford b.1825 (SC) - d. Abt.1915 in Geneva Co, AL ...... 2 Sarah J.
