Someone asked who Turner Creek was named for. I was just reading in the History of Franklin Co that it was named for Roger Turner, one of the early settlers.

I have some information on a Samuel Good that was in Franklin Co., Virginia in 1810 according to the Census. He died about 1811. His wife was Hannah. Would this be the same Samuel Good? Diane Jjg331@wmconnect.com wrote: I am looking for information about a Samuel Good-- a son of Theobold (David) Good. Samuel is listed as dying in 1824 in Franklin co. VA. Any information about this family would be greatly appeciated. Jackie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The SECOND Sunday in each month will set aside for a "Brick Wall" Roll Call.
