At this point I can't answer your questions, but I am planning a trip to the library where I will check all the census records for MO and TN. I have copies of 1860, 1870, and 1880 in Webster MO. I understand he was in Dallas MO in 1850 and Bedford TN in 1840. I plan to check for Dyers as well as Wilhoit/Wilhites at the same time. My husband is descended from Turner's daughter Lavina and her husband C. L. Johnson. I would love to exchange information with you.
