Hi Nyla,
     Some one on the net gave me your name and e-mail address for Turner 
research.  I am researching John Turner of GA birth about 1805.  I would 
sure like to be included in your group.

Hi Nyla,

     This is the summary of all of my efforts. I guess this is what you 
wanted to know.  

     My research is back to John Turner and I have a Census recording him in 
Cass Co.(Bartow) in 1850, also one of his sons who always seems to live 
next door to him.  I do have all of the family names tied together by a
Probate will submitted in Oct 1884, right after John Turner died.  He was
then in Upshur Co. Texas.   I estimate John Turner to have been born 
about 1805 from the ages of his children and census records I have found. 

     The probate did not give his place of birth or date. He had 10 children.
I have some records (Death Certificated of his Grandson)saying one of 
John's sons was born in Savanah, but I'm not sure that is the case.

Dear Nyla,

     I'm sure you know Dennis Garrett.  Someone on the net gave me your 
name, his name and said there was a palce on the net with Turner research 
group.  I have by your reply gotten a message to you but the notes to 
Dennis keeps bouncing. Can you help me find his correct address.  I'm 
sure it has to do with the case sensetive things and all of that.  What 
is the http: that has the Turner group on it and how might I access that 
information?  

Thank you very much

==========================================================

Penny,

        I've not heard from Dennis Garrett for some time.  I don't think I
have a current eMail address for him.

        Chris Gaunt's home page where the archives are stored:   

                http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt

        Highlight the Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc line.  There is a search
capability.  You can also download all the files (one at a time) on to your
hardisk or a floppy disk.  Or you can print them.  I think there's about 225
pages or more.

        I just remember I wanted to send you the last compilation.  That will
give you a feel as to what they're all about.  Nothing formal.  Just
information.

                Nyla

[NOTE:  Can anyone provide Dennis Garrett's mail address? --- Nyla]

Nyla and all other Turner Cousins:

     Here is what I have on my Turner family. It only goes back to 1806.
Obediah was born in Franklin County, Virginia. I don't know where Archibald
was born. Any help would be appreciated.

                    Russell D. Turner, JR.


FIRST GENERATION

1.  Archibald Abraham TURNER was born in 1806.  Name could be Abraham
Archibald, in 1850 Census, he was listed as Abraham, in 1860, he was listed
as Archibald. In 1850, he was a laboror, in 1860, listed as a farmer, with
holdings worth $200.  The 1870 Census lists a white female, named Josephene
age 6, living with Archibald Turner and Mary Turner, this must have been a
granddaugher, for they were 65 and 68, respectivly.

He was married to Mary Susan CREASY on 10 May 1825 in Bedford County,
Virginia.  Archhibald Turner and Mary Creasey, were married by Rev. James
Mitchell, Thomas Creasey, Jr. Security. According to page 290 of
Leftwich/Turner Families of Virginia.  Mary Susan CREASY was born in 1804. 
(Spelling may be CREASEY, see Leftwich Turner, page 209).  Children of
Archibald Abraham TURNER and Mary Susan CREASY were:

     +2   i.   Malinda TURNER.
     +3   ii.  Mary J. TURNER was born in 1833.
     +4   iii. Obadiah D. TURNER.
     +5   iv.  William TURNER.
     +6   v.   John S. TURNER.

SECOND GENERATION

2.  Malinda TURNER was born in 1831.  The 1850 Census lists Malinda as a 19
year old daughter of Abraham.  In the 1870 Census, it lists a Malinda Sloan
living near (Abraham) Archibald Turner and her age is 40.  We shall list
this Malinda Sloan and her children as being decendants of Abraham Turner
until we can prove otherwise.

  Children of Malinda TURNER and ? SLOAN were:

     7    i.   Thomas TURNER was born in 1854.
     8    ii.  Judith TURNER was born in 1858.
     9    iii. Rufus TURNER was born in 1860.
     10   iv.  Lucy TURNER was born in 1862.

[NOTE:  Should 7, 8, 9, and 10 above be SLOAN instead of TURNER? -- Nyla]

4.  Obadiah D. TURNER was born in 1834 in Franklin County, Virginia.  He
died on 20 Jul 1929 in Kanawha County, West Virginia.  Obediah died at 3
p.m. July 20, 1929  He was buried on 21 Jul 1929 in The Turner Cemetery. 
The Turner Cemetery was behind the home of Obediah on Spring Hill Mountain.
In 1985, it was a corn field and there were no headstones.  He was a
Farmer.  Fought in Confederate Army(?).Brought 2 slaves with him to West
Virginia. They were Mac Davis and Mac's father. Mac became a barber at
Chestnut Street and the  West Virginia Turnpike in Spring Hill,(later named
South Charleston) West Virginia.{The 1880 census indicates that Obediah was
born in 1841, the 1860 and the the 1850 census say 1832.  The 1900 census
indicates that Obediah was born in 1831, however it also says that he was
62 in 1900, which would put him being born in 1838.} Page 200 of the
Franklin Co., Virginia census in 1850, lists Obediah's Schoolteacher as
John Hogan, age 59. John's wife,  Meldonia , age 24, and children Jerimah
C. (6), Mary E. (4), and George Wm. (1).  The list also includes the
following classmates:  Joseph Kinnett (12), Isabell Kinnett (8), Judith F.
Kinnett (6), Ann E. Kinnett (12), James Brown (10), Lucy Wood (12), Mary I.
Wood (8), Sarah Wood (7), Sparrel Edwards(?), OBEDIAH TURNER (11), and Mary
A. Trueman (10).

He was married to Nancy DENT on 21 Dec 1869 in Kanawha County, West
Virginia.  Nancy DENT was born in 1847 in Boone County, West Virginia.  She
died in 1896.  Children of Obadiah D. TURNER and Nancy DENT were:

     +11  i.   Mary S. TURNER was born in Feb 1871.  In 1900, Mary was
               listed as a teacher in Kanawha County, West Virginia..

     +18  viii. Doonie TURNER was born in Apr 1890.  Is this Minerva M.? age

5.  William TURNER was born in 1835.  In the 1870 Census, William and Molly
had one child, it is difficult to read, however I think it is Minerva. 
They also had a 14 year old  male black farm laborer named Heawt??? Brooks
living with them.  Molly's name was listed first in the Census, indicating
that she was the landowner.

Molly ? was born in 1838.  Children of William TURNER and Molly ? were:
