Greetings to Everyone:

This is a short compilation, but wanted to send today since we
have several new cousins who are searching for their ancestors. 
Penny has submitted her second installment of the John Brown
Turner Collection Papers.  Thank you to everyone.

All our compilations are on Chris Gaunt's home page:

Subject: Isabela C Burnett

Do you have an Isabela C Burnett born ca 1826 in Estille CO KY or
in Indiana? She may be a daughter of the Burnetts who were living
in Amherst CO VA ca 1780, some of this family migrated ca 1808 to
Estille CO KY.

thanks

Everyone,

The following announcement about the Nolen reunion is from
MDNolen@aol.com:

The Nolen reunion is an annual affair, held on the first Sat in
June.  It is only a one-day affair.  

In the past two years it has been coordinated by W. B. Nolen and
Bob Greer.  Their addrsses are W. B. Nolen, 3028 Thomas Jefferson
Road, Forest, VA 24551 (804-385-4390) and Robert Greer, PO Box
4589, Lynchburg, VA 24502 (804-358-6339).  

This year's reunion will be held at the West Salem Baptist Church
in Salem VA (a suburb of Roanoke).  I do not yet have the exact
time it starts on Sat. 

The theme for this year's reunion is to gather exact details on
the descendents of Issac A. Nolen/Judith Turner and Alexander
Nowlin/Louisa S. Nolen.  We will then enter the collected info
into the database, which hopefully we can find a way to make more
widely available over the Internet.

Hi Nyla, 

I'm back after about 6 months.  Need to catch up on the

Howdy Cousins:

Can anyone help Sandra? Looks like a Turner from our own
backyard, 
but I can't place James Hardin TURNER. Can you?

Thanks!

Subject: VIA Family

Dear Nyla,

I sent out a request for information on the VIA family to the
VA/WVA roots list today.  One of the responses I got was from
Jojo1953, telling me to get in touch with you and that you might
be able to help me.  

My maternal great grandparents were William Monroe VIA, (b. Abt
1871 in Tazewell, VA, d. Dec 4, 1941 in Elkview, WV) married
Nancy Jane BURDETTE, (b. Abt 1877, location unknown, d. October
5, 1917 in Charleston, WV).  Marriage date and place unknown. 
William parents are reported to be Charley VIA and Emily Ann ? I
would like to know about their ancestors.  They are listed in
the 1910 census in Kanawha County, WV with their 5 children,
Lewis, Luther, Etta, Bessie and my grandmother, Nelle Florence. 
I hope you can help me.  Thank you,

Sincerely,
Sandy Spradling

Subject: Packwood letter

Hi!  I've been so busy getting involved in my research again and
I've had so much help from everyone in the group.  I've been
trying to see what I might be able to contribute back.   

The book Meshack Turner 111 His Wife Sarah Robey Tucker  by
Lucille R. Maddox  1976 has a good history of the Turner family. 
On one of the last pages Ms. Maddox talks about a letter she was
shown by a descendant of The Shadrack Turner family. It was
written by Samuel Packwood who was married to one of Shadracks'
daughters, Elizabeth. In the letter he mentions several family
members as well as giving a glimpse as to what life was like
then. 

Ms. Maddox chose not to print a copy of the letter in her book. 
However, when I started doing research 11 years ago, I was given
a copy of the letter by another Turner descendant.  If you think
there would be enough interest in the letter, I would be glad to
type it and send it in for anyone who may be interested.  I don't
want to just send it in because it is fairly long and my typing
skills leave something to be desired.  (takes me forever to type
something).  Let me know, or post it to see if anyone might be
interested.  By the way I used to live in Vienna on and off when
I was growing up.  We lived near Cedar Lane Elem. School and
Thoreau Junior High.  The last time we passed through town I
could hardly believe how much Maple Ave. has changed!  Sherry

===============================================
SHERRY:  I for one would certainly be interested in reading the
letter if you're willing to type it.  Any one else interested?
If you pass through Vienna again, stop in and see me.  I live off
Cedar Lane.  Small world.  Nyla
