Posted on: Amherst County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amherst?read=452 Surname: Turner, Roundtree, Colvin ------------------------- Stephen Turner married Mary Roundtree 16 July 1782 in Bedford Co., Va. He remains in Bedford Co., Va in the Northern Tax District until 1794. The only other Turner in the Northern Tax District is James Turner. Stephen Turner then goes to Lincoln Co., Kentucky. A James Turner of Amherst Co., Va has 500 acres on the Green River in Green County showing on the Lincoln Co., Kentucky 1795 tax lists. In some records, it is stated that James Turner is a non-resident. The Roundtrees, in-laws to Stephen Turner, show up briefly on the Lincoln Co., Kentucky tax lists before their property appears in Green County - Green County having been taken from Lincoln Co., Kentucky. In 1799 Caleb Turner began paying taxes in Lincoln Co., Kentucky. He was associated with Stephen Turner in two ways - After Stephen's death, Caleb was a witness at the marriage of a daughter of Stephen. Secondly, Caleb married a Colvin in 1801 in Lincoln Co., Ken. Stephen's children married and/or were closely associated with Colvins in Washington Co., Indiana In 1801, Joseph and Jeremiah Turner appear on the Lincoln Co., Ken tax lists. Joseph was a deputy sheriff in Lincoln Co., Ken in 1797 and 1798. Jeremiah died in 1801. His widow, Ann Turner owned 125 acres on Hanging Fork in Lincoln Co., Ken. Evidence does show that James Turner was from Amherst Co., Va. Stephen Turner is a common name in Amherst Co., Va. I note that the Stephen Turner who died in 1801 has his children quite well documented. But there is a Stephen Turner who died around 1795 in Amherst Co., Va. I have not seen a list of his children. This would coincide with the period when my Stephen left Bedford Co., Va for Lincoln Co., Kentucky. Can you help me identify how my Stephen Turner/Molly Roundtree is connected to the Amherst Co., Va Turners. Link: Virginia West to Oregon URL: <http://members.networld.com/masters/index.html>
