I am looking for information that might lead me to finding the names of the parents of DANIEL TURNEY. Daniel was born in TN. or IL. in 1829. He married Elizabeth Catherine Smith March 20, 1851, in Cherokee County, TX. Family tradition says Daniel died while in the service of the Confederate Army in May 1864 and is buried in Tyler, TX. Catherine Elizabeth and her five children moved to Erath County in the 1880s. The names of the five children are: Nancy Amanda Turney (married a John Bruce Purves)--buried in NM. in 1926 Henry Petty Turney--buried in Pecan Cemetery in 1947 John Reuben Turney--buried in Pecan Cemetery in 1962 James Russell Turney--buried in Carlton, TX. in 1915 William Jefferson Turney--buried at Alfalfa, OK. in 1929 Daniel and Elizabeth Catherine are my great grandparents. William Jefferson is my grandfather. All correspondence regarding the Turneys will be appreciated. Ron Waters OKC, OK.
