Does anyone know if Rev. John Andrews, first clerk of Cameron Parish, was married? If so, could you please share the details? I am following a clue that claims Fielding Turner's (b. 1706) first wife, known only as "Mrs. Ann Turner", was an Ann Andrews. Since Fielding was very close to Rev. John Andrews I thought possibly this Ann Andrews could be a dau. of the reverend. Pam --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

Thanks Pat. The reverend's will was my basis for Fielding's first wife being named "Anne". I had also heard about his less than stellar reputation. In a 2005 book entitled "Our Turner & Walker Families ..." the author states that Fielding's first wife was named Anne Andrews. I don't know where he got the last name for her but it piqued my interest in Rev. Andrews as a possible relative.
