Does anyone have any detailed info on Stephen Terry Turner, I am hoping he
ties into my Turner line, but my info only goes back to about 1880. Does
anyone know what was the last census he may have shown up on and where?
Thanks for any help.

The Stallings side of our family has a geneology book that sounds like the
Turner book. No index or any consequence and the devil of a time figuring
it out! I have over 2,200 names input so far and it's a slow go! I'd love
to get my hands on the Turner book, but I need more info. I have David
Alexander Turner's death certificate that lists his parents and the county,
McCuen, in TN where they came from, but McCuen no longer exists. I wonder
where I could get old county maps of TN??? I've run into the same problem
with other family trees. The town names change or they just die. It's
frustrating, but fun, like a puzzle. My husband thinks I'm insane! It's too
coincidental having Turners in TN in 1895, and one with a son called "Dave".
They were probably cousins or brothers or whatever. I'd appreciate anything
you could send.
The Turners probably came in through Collin Co., like so many settlers did in
the middle and late 1800's. It was the east door. A lot of folks migrated
southwards as it was much more settled than our Denton County area which is
north of Ft. Worth and Dallas. The Indians were still raiding here up to
1868 and it was pretty rough and ragged. Harlingen is 1189 miles from
Nashville. Quite a trek. In the book, History and Reminiscences of Denton
County, several Turners are mentioned. On April 11th, 1846, the First
Legislature of the State of Texas was held and Joseph Turner was appointed a
commissioner to find a townsite for Pinkneyville which would thereafter be
the county seat and hold elections.
Joseph was additionally appointed Chief Justice at this time and was listed
on the rolls in 1846 as the County Judge in this document in the book.
Joseph T. Turner signed and witnessed a document in 1848, stating that a
William H. Dickson was elected to his office of Chief Justice of Denton
County, Texas on Aug 7, 1848. Joseph Turner had evidently held the post
prior to Dickson's election. The community of Pilot Point, just north of us,
was started in 1856. The books calls the roll of the community, but neglects
to say the date, but it is obviously after that date and probably fairly
close to the date. Mentioned are Dave Turner (Your Dave???), Cobb Turner,
Campbell Turner, William Turner. Any connecton with your Dave? Brothers,
Uncles, Cousins? Most of them moved in family groups of some sort.
The next mention of a Turner in the book is in the 1861 after the war,
listing the veterans of the County, J.P. Turner among those names and Mr.
A.D.Turner as a daughter of the confederacy. After the war, a citizen of the
County corresponded regularly with a friend in Arkansas and mentioned the
Turners again....
"August 29, 1869
Your letter received and I was very glad to know that you are all well except
your father is chilling. Well that is nice pastime. A young man was the
raiser of quite a disturbance in our city the first Saturday in the month.
He wanted to get license to marry and could not get his daddy's consent nor
the consent of his girl's mammy, hence the disturbance. He lives out in the
country somewhere. J.M.McNeil and Company are getting in a large stock of
goods. Dave Turner, the Pilot Point merchant, is bragging about his peaches.
I hear that yellow fever has broken out in New Orleans on July 21. I saw
the thermometer last Monday sitting in the sun that registered 115. Thomas
Jenkins, the mail carrier, tells me that on August 20, a week ago Friday,
thirty Indians rode up close to Jacksboro and began to gather horses. They
rode through the streets of the town at full speed whooping,
shooting and killing yearlings. Teh people were aroused from their slumbers
and hastily formed a company and rode out to meet the savages. They met them
at the edge of the town, riding like devils incarnate. The whites poured a
volley into their midst and several fell off of their horses, but one could
not be found after the skirmish was over. The Indians fired eighteen or
twenty shots, but no one was injured ." The book is incredible.
You might want to copy this and put it on the newsletter. I'm not sure of
how to do that yet! Any help is appreciated. Maybe someone will recognize a
name.

Some immigrants to the American Colonies with reference of each.
Apparently, our JOHN BURNETT was one of the first. When the reference
gives "shipped" it means they came voluntarily; "transported" means
involuntarily:
1635 Oct 24 - JOHN BURNETT, Merchant from London to Virginia in ship
"Abraham" of London; born 1610. Ref: Calendar of State Papers, America
& the West Indies, printed in London, 1880 Series; also Public Record

Schemes by G.P. Insh, Glasgow, Scotland, 1922, p.242.
1695 Mar 19 - ANNA & JANET BURNET, whores, transported from Edinburgh.
Ref: Scottish Record Office, Edinburgh & Register of the Privy Council

1700 - ______ BURNET, to Virginia, Clergyman. Ref: A List of Emigrant
Ministers to America 1690-1811 by G. Fothergill, London, 1904, p.18.
1747 Apr 22 - JOHN BURNETT, transported from Liverpool to Virginia in
the "Johnson;" arrived Port Oxford, Md, 5 Aug 1747; born 1719, a
miller, Jacobite. Resided Ballandorg Kirriemuir Angus. Ref:

Prince Charles, Edward Stuart's Army, 1745-1746 by A.
Livingstone, Aberdeen, Scotland, 1984; Public Record Office,
London.
[Meaning of Jacobite: in English history, a supporter of James II
after his abdication, or of his descendants' claims to the throne].
1751 Aug - GEORGE BURNET - Transported from Aberdeen, Scotland to
Virginia. Ref: Aberdeen Journal, Aberdeen, 1748.
1755 Nov 22 - MARGARET BURNET, infanticide - transported. Ref:
Scottish Record Office, Edinburgh [meaning of infanticide: a person
guilty of murder of a baby; one who kills an infant.]
1774 Feb 7 - ALEXANDER BURNET, a resident of Edinburgh, Scotland, left
London to Virginia in the "Planter;" Arrived Fredericksburg, Virginia
on 10 May 1774. Ref: Public Record Office, London.
1776 (pre) - WILLIAM BURNET, physician, resided in Dumfriesshire;
settled in W. Fla. Ref: Scottish Record Office, Edinburgh.
[I wonder if the above George Burnet is the one Kevin is looking for???]
