Surnames: Turner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CAC.2ACI/404 Message Board Post: My great-great-grandfather came to Austin, Travis Co, TX from Saline, Miller Co MO with his wife, Martha Harrison Turner and his youngest son, James Clyde Turner who later became a Texas Ranger. This shows up in the1870 or 1880 Census. We heard that he may have attended law school and maybe became a judge of some sort here. Was UT Austin law school taking students? What sort of judge would he have been? Did he hold an elected office? I also heard that he might have remarried here. We think he may have been a Blue Mason. The family would have been Baptist and in Austin, Travis Co, TX ,the trail goes cold! Someone told me he might be buried in the State Cemetery but I don't think he was a Confederate War veteran or any other kind of veteran and I don't know that he was elected to any public office. He would have been about 45 when he came to Texas. He was born in about 1825. If anyone has any information on any attorneys or judges from that time, please advise. There is the possibility he remarried and we have relatives surnamed Turner right here in Austin that we know nothing about. Thank you for any assistance in this matter!
