Thank you very much for posting the information about the Bradley Cemetery! I'm looking for information about Jesse Bradley's 2nd wife Mora (Turner?). One of my cousins told me that Mora had raised his mother, Bessie Hicks(Hix). Does anyone know who Mora's parents are, or how she ended up caring for the Hicks children? According to my cousin, Mora was buried at Epworth United Methodist Church in an unmarked grave. He told me that she was the 1st person buried there. Thanks in advance for your help! Ken DeLong

There was an article in today's Richmond paper on Novelty. It referred to the F&P Railroad, Burwell Law and Listening Hill and several local legends. The paper requires registration or I would link it. Somebody else maybe able to. My ggggrandfather Robert Hodges lived along the Lewis Island Road between Pen Hook and Novelty until he moved to Tennessee about 1844. Bob Hodges

The Samuel Clemens angle is interesting. Raymond Martin Bell was a noted genealogist who first figured out the Clemens side of Mark Twain's ancestry and published a book on it -- The Ancestry of Samuel Clemens, The Grandfather of Mark Twain. Here is a link to some of Bell's publications: http://www.chartiers.com/raybell/toc.htm but it does not include the Clemens book. The Clemens (like the Lincolns) were a East Anglian family that came to Massachusetts, then to Long Island, then to Hunterdon Co., N.J. across the Delaware from Philadelphia, then came to the "Borden Tract" in Rockbridge County, Va. Samuel Clemens of the book title was the brother of my ggggrandmother Cristina Jenett Clemens, and my gggrandfather Samuel C. Crews was apparently named after him when he was born in 1806, shortly after his uncle's death. The Crews lived in Amherst County, Va. and later in Henry and Pittsylvania Counties. At one time John Crews, Jennie Clemens' husband, owned "the Centersville Tract" in Henry County, later called Old Center, where the town of Axton stands today.

I'm not sure where I have accumulated all of this data, but I usually keep it in a file and add to it based on the line. The whole file of things I have collected it 32 pages long. If you would like it, you may email me, and I will send it. Hope it helps: An article of possible interest, from THE JOURNAL of the KANAWHA VALLEY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY Vol. 4 No. 10 October 1980. Turners of Franklin County, Virginia Since the publication of the August issue of the JOURNAL, several requested more information on the TURNER family. Many descendants from this large family have settled in this area: Kanawha, Putnam, and Lincoln Counties. Most came just prior to or immediately after the Civil War. The following information appears in the TURNER FAMILY MAGAZINE, Vols. I and II in the Congressional Library: "Prior to 1748 were living three brothers: Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego TURNER, who were no doubt sons of Bible reading parents. (See Daniel 3:28) Shadrach was the owner of 4400 acres in Halifax County, Va. The first patent was made in 1748. He (Shadrach) was active in his county, being overseer of roads and processioner of lands. He lived next in Pittsylvania County, then in Henry County, where, according to his will, made in 1783, he died." The will of Shadrach TURNER (Will Book I, Henry County, Va), dated October 25, 1783, names his wife Ann; sons: Larkin, Jeremiah, William, John, and Josiah; daughters: Elizabeth, Mary, and Excony. In a postscript he named Lucia ROBB and Sally, but they were not further identified. He also made provision for his children to "have learning". Witnesses: Samuel CRITCHFIELD, John HUNTER, and Richard STONE. The County Clerk was John CAR. (Carper?) Other records indicate that Shadrach TURNER was with the Colonial Government during the Revolutionary War. Among active Henry County soldiers in that war were Josiah TURNER and William TURNER. Both were in John Cunningham's Company. Meshack TURNER, the third brother, married Rebecca ROBINSON in Halifax County, Virginia, 6 February 1760. William TURNER, the Revolutionary War patriot and son of Shadrach, was born in 1753. He and his wife Jane HUNTER, daughter of William HUNTER, were for 72 years members of the Baptist Church. This family was remarkable for its longevity. Their twelve sons and daughters averaged a life of 83 years. William's will left all his personal property and his real estate to his wife Jane. In the will he named all his servants and requested that they not be sold out of the family. He further instructed that at Jane's death the estate was to be distributed in one-thirteenths to each of the children: George, James, John, Matha Philpott, Elizabeth Ingram, Josiah, Adelphia TURNER, Sarah SNIDOW, William, Jane STONE, Andrew, Meshack, and Elkannah. Witnesses: Bernard M. PRICE, Jr., Paten STANLEY, Purris AYERS. (29 October 1842). Franklin County Clerk: Moses G. CARPER. Obituary: William TURNER died at Franklin County, Virginia, 11 December 1845, aged 92 years, 10 months, 22 days. He left a widow, Jane HUNTER TURNER, aged 88 years, with whom he had lived in wedlock 72 years and offsprings, now living, to the fifth generation from his own 313. Fifty had preceded him to the grave "ere he went to that BOURNE from which no traveller on earth returns;...." Jane TURNER followed her husband in death on 20 May 1851, aged 92 years, 11 months, 13 days. George TURNER was the oldest of the nine sons and five daughters of William and Jane HUNTER TURNER. He was born 17 October 1776, and died 13 August 1884. He married Milley STONE(b. 3 March 1780 and d. 6 March 1864). Milley STONE was the daughter of Ste.. STONE and his wife Basheba(d. 15 May 1852). The children of George and Besheba STONE follow: 1. Obadiah TURNER, b 24 Dec 1802 2. Elizabeth TURNER KING, b 19 Aug 1804 3. Stephen TURNER b 6 Sept 1806 4. Jane TURNER HELMES, b 3 Oct 1808 5. Basheba TURNER DAVIS, b 18 Oct 1810 6. Ruth TURNER HOY, b 6 Jul 1812 7. George Clinton TURNER, b 14 Dec 1814 8. Milley Ann TURNER CANNADAY, b 6 Mar 1817 9. Martha TURNER CASSADAY, b 3 May 1819 10. William Creed TURNER, b 1 Mar 1821 11. Sarah Hunt TURNER CASSADAy, b 30 Dec 1823 12. James Marshall TURNER, b 14 April 1827 George TURNER's will, copied from Franklin County, VA. records, like the will of his father William, has an interesting clause concerning disposition of his slaves: It is my desire that all my servants be sold in the family of my children and that my executors suffer them not to be sold otherwise. The wording in George's will directs that his "servants" be bought by my legatees only". The writer remembers that her grandmother told her that the treatment of slaves, according to life in Virginia was quite overdrawn. Her grandmother had never seen nor heard of such cruelties as those so vividly depicted by Mrs. STONE. These wills of my mother's grandfather and great grandfather clearly show why she made these statements. George TURNER's will, witnessed by George STANLEY and Jobal TURNER, left his estate to his wife for her lifetime, then it was to be divided into one-twelfths for the children later. Returning to the brothers and sisters of George TURNER, they were as follows: James TURNER, m 1st .... JAMES, 2nd ....PHILPOT, 3rd .....WOOD John TURNER Martha TURNER, m ....PHILPOT Betsy E.

Carol, et al. Thanks for your notes back and the encouragement. I am just an amateur in all of this, but I will share with you what I know and what I have gleaned. I am sure that there will be other folks out there reading all of this who might have more details, more exact facts and that kind of thing. I would welcome their input, ideas and corrections. Here's what I know. These fact are pretty well documented so here goes. In general, my understanding of the connections are Moorman-->Lee-->Wills-->Angle. In specifics, this is how it works as it comes down in my wife's family. I am going from older parent to the child that carries this line: Thomas Moorman (1705-1767) and Rachel Clark (1714-1792), married 1729/1730. Charles Moorman (1747-1804) and Nancy Hancock (1762-1847), married 1782. Francis Ludwell Lee (1781-1844) and Sallie Moorman ((178?-1880), married 1804. Charles Buford Wills (1806-1890) and Nancy Emaline Lee (1808-1884), married 1829. Next we have two Angle brothers marrying two Wills daughters: Nathaniel Peter Angle (1828-1890) and Sarah Frances Wills (1831-1894), married, 1852. Joel Louis Angle (1826-1875) and Mary Ann Wills ( 1833-1911), married, 1854. The Angle brothers are the sons of Daniel Angle (1792-1868) and Dinah Hughes (abt.1805-1897), married 1822. Daniel, of course is the son of Peter Angle and Elizabeth Jane Miller. This is long and convoluted, but I hope it helps. Again, I am just an amateur, a careful one, but still an amateur, in all of this so someone might have more exact and better information. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Kenn

Dear Kenn, What a great find! It's wonderful when you learn, quite unexpectedly, that you are related to someone as famous as Mark Twain. Since reading your email, I have been looking through the Eula Angle Ferguson book trying to determine how the Moorman and Angle families are related. So far I don't see a documented connection other than the statement the author wrote on p. 192, at the end of the second paragraph: "Thomas Moorman ... bought land in Bedford County ... and in 1769 moved his family there ... It is this family of Moorman that several members were remembered by the Wills and Angle families." Do you know how the Moorman and Angle families are related?
