There are two groups of Turners I am hoping someone will volunteer for the DNA testing. This would determine if we are related and seems likely that one will match. One is Madison Turner out of Warren Co, TN who moved to Jasper Co, TX and the other is Littleton Turner out of Barnwell Co,SC who moved to Angelina/Trinity Co, TX. DNA saves you from searching on the wrong family line for years like I did. I just knew that John Turner who ended up in Orange Co, TX had to be related somehow but DNA testing confirmed otherwise.

With such a stone wall, this might be a potential chance to get around it. Gail Blancett Betty Faye Lawton wrote: > From another HOLT researcher: > "From Craig Kisabeth email: > > ". . .
