Do you know the parents or origin of Charity Loftus, wife of William Hunter? ----- Original Message ----- From: Bud Jones To: vafrankl@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 10:54 PM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] Rev. War HALE patriot? Cuzn Carolyn, This is getting toooo complicated! I have not tied the Robert Jones that performed the marriage of John Hale and Susannah Wade to my line yet. I do have a Robert Jones who was married to Marie VanMeter daughter of John VanMeter and Sarah Bodine. This Robert was the father of the revolutionary war Thomas Jones that my sisters uesd to join the DAR. Don't know if they are one and the same Robert. Now getting to the Turners: I am decended from the same Shadrack and Ann Hill Turner as you, through their son William who married Jane Hunter. My line goes on down through their son Josiah Hunter Turner who married Drucilla P. Philpot on 11 Mar 1810. Their son Meshack then married Sarah Ann DeShazo 7 Sep 1842. Their son George King Turner was my great grandfather. Sarah Ann DeShazo's father was George King DeShazo. George's dad was William of revolutionary war fame mentined in the earlier e-mail. William's wife Jane King's father was George King also in the war. George King married Mary Niblet. Jane Hunter's parents were William Hunter and Charity Loftis. As you know Ben Franklin was the US's first postmaster-- well, he had a partner in Virginia who was named William Hunter. I would love to prove these two William Hunters one and the same. I have been to William Turner, Josiah H. Turner, Meshack Turner and George K.Turner's graves. Do you know where Shadrack's grave is? I also have a picture of Shadrick's house in Henry, Virginia. It has been restored by another cousin (Harry Lee King Jr.-4th once removed to me) and is on the National Register. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Bruce" <cdhbruce@cox.net> To: <vafrankl@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 3:44 PM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] Rev.
