Dear Mr. Dews, Hi, I would be interested in any marriage record of either Aaron TURNER (b. c 1833, Jasper Co., TX) or Jane TURNER (b. c 1834, Jasper Co., TX). They were the two oldest children of Ruffin and Sarah (CONN) TURNER. Ruffin was an early land owner (land mostly in Jasper Co, but part was in Tyler Co). The rest of the TURNER family went to CA in the 1850s. It seems that Aaron and perhaps Jane remained in TX however. I don't know where either would have been buried. (I believe that all of their younger siblings died in CA.) Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide. - Mike White Dayton, OH Brief Family Info: Ruffun/Ruffin/Rufus TURNER, (b. c 1808/9 NC, d. May 27, 1886 CA) m. Sarah M. CONN (b.
