Hello Carolyn, I spent some time awhile back researching Turner at the DAR Library in Washington, DC. However, I was looking for another Turner family. Anyway, there were some Turner genealogies in their collection, and there is more Turner info in the NEHGR. I can't tell you that your Turner family is one found in any of these sources. The DAR catalogue is available online at (www.dar.org). You should be able to search for the family genealogies, and it may even give you the NEGHR source citations, if you're lucky. I hope this helps. Good luck.
