Finally! One I think I can help with. Belmont Co, OH, either 1820 or 1830 census there is a Samuel Turner on it. This county's census is BROKEN up into neighborhoods and not all censuses are listed every time when you think you have found them all. Say, for example, you might see 2 or 3 for that county and think that is all there are but trust me, there are several. What were they doing there? There was a government-funded project to take one of the major roads and build it through OH (and westward) and also they were working on a canal, The Erie Canal perhaps? Can't remember, thinking it was the Erie Canal. Anyway, it was a huge government project that produced many jobs and that is why so many people went to Belmont Co, OH and other areas nearby in the early 1800's. Hope this helps some, at least you know why they went there. Lisa Chatelain "Gail R. Blancett" <ablancett@atlantic.net> wrote: A new line has been added to the Turner DNA Project. Kit #68652.
