I am new to this list and am trying to identify the parents of Stephen Turner born about 1760 in Virginia who married Mary Roundtree 16 July 1782 in Bedford Co., Va. From all appearances, Stephen does not fit with the Bedford Co., Va Turners. It appears that the Stephen Turner who died in Amherst Co., Va has his children well-documented. However, there is a Stephen Turner who was deceased in 1795 in Amherst Co., Virginia. Does anyone know the identity of these children? In the Northern District of Bedford Co., Va, there is only one Turner besides my Stephen Turner. That is James Turner. My Stephen Turner immigrates to Lincoln Co., Kentucky in 1795 which coincides with the death of the Stephen Turner of Amherst Co., Va. No Turners appear in Lincoln Co., Kentucky until this time. James Turner then appears - identified as a non-resident - and has 500 acres in Green County (pulled from Lincoln County)on the Green River. Caleb Turner appears in Lincoln County. He is frequently close to my Stephen Turner on the tax lists. He witnesses the marriage of one of the daughters of Stephen Turner. Caleb also is married to a Colvin - a family into which Stephen Turner's descendants marry. These families go on into Washington Co., Indiana. In addition Joseph Turner is a deputy sheriff in Lincoln Co., Ken in Oct 1798 and 1798. In 1801, Joseph pays taxes in Lincoln Co., Kentucky. Jeremiah Turner died in Lincoln Co., Ken in 1801 leaving a widow, Ann who remained in Lincoln Co - owning 125 acres on Hanging Fork. I am interested in the ancestry and origins of any of the men listed above. I have been searching for several years. Amherst County, Va seems the most reasonable point of origin for my Stephen. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. Lois ===== My personal website: http://members.networld.com/masters/index.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
