Thanks My Turners of Loudoun Co were members of Truro Parish which was Episcopalian, I believe. When my line migrated to KY in the 1780s I believe they became Baptists. Possibly because that was the Protestant religion available at the time. When my GG grandfather migrated to LA in 1805 he was married by an Episcopal lay reader from Boston. At that time Protestantism wasn't allowed in Catholic Louisiana.
