Nyla do you know where the Atha's were before they came to Monroe Co.
all the rest of my ancestors came from Botetourt Co. could they have all
came from about the same place even though they came years apart?
=========================
Jerry, It looks like the Atha ancestors were probably from Ireland, Charles
Co MD, Prince George's Co MD, Greenbrier and Monroe Co VA (now
WV), as well as in Henry Co VA. Maybe someone researching Henry Co
VA will be able to shed some light on the Atha/Athey family.

Hi,
I'm searching for more info on Susan ROSS. Born in 1805 in Virginia.
Unfortunately that's all the background I have on her. I do know she
married William Ferguson, b.1795 in NC. They had a son born in TN.
Thanks for any info you can share.

Hi Nyla,
I eavesdrop on your web site on Turners/Burnetts etc. I do a lot of
research on Turners in SC and recently that has expanded over into GA.
So far I've not spotted anything on my Turners on your site but I
haven't read all of the compilations yet so there may have been and I
just haven't seen it yet.
My Turner family was in Spartanburg Co., SC from at least 1785 and some
of them were there up until at least 1831 and 1837; many moved to
Alabama by way of KY about 1816/1817. My family is headed by Henry
Turner Sr. (birth estimated 1730s) and includes children William
Turner, Lewis Turner (b. 1761/2 Frederick Co., VA), Darby Turner, Henry
Turner Jr., James Turner, John Turner, Sarah Turner Sartain and Nancy
Turner Bishop. Interestingly, they lived on Shoaly Creek of Lawson's
Fork and appear to have been neighbors of some of your Burnetts.
I noticed in one of the most recent compilations a note from Mary Ellen
May (her e-mail address wasn't listed) and Anna Mosely and their search
for Aaron Turner of Henry Co., GA. I can't say for sure if this
information is going to be their Aaron or not, but it is possible.
Perhaps they have more information that will help them decide. This
information is from "A Collection of Upper South Carolina Genealogical
and Family Records" Vol. II, edited by James E. Wooley (copyright 1981
by Southern Historical Press). The information is said to have been
given by Mrs. Edmon L. Crow of Dallas, Texas, dated 7 Aug 1853.
However, I believe the year here should have been 1953. The references
in parentheses are those stated by Mrs. Crow.
Family of Thomas Turner
The will of Thomas Turner, Sr. was probated in Marlboro Dist., SC 26
July 1822, he named the following chn. James, Aaron, Jane, Thomas Jr.,
(my great grandfather) Moses, John, Mark, and Mary. His wife Chairity
was not named in the will, so presume she was dead before this date. In
April 1803 is a transfer of 200 acres of land by Thomas Turner, to Alex
Rascoe, the wife's dower in this deed is Chairity Turner. So we know
she was living in 1803. In the History of Old Cheraw's, by Bishop
Alexander Gregg, that Thomas Turner Sr. was Clerk for Cheraw Dist. in
1773. He further states on page 226 on 9 June 1775 the Lt. Governor
named twelve magistrates for Cheraw Dist., SC Thomas Turner Sr. being
in
the list of names.
Aaron Turner, married Sallie English, had Joe, Aaron Jr., Esther, Sallie
and Anne.
Thomas Turner Jr. (my great grandfather) married a sister of Sallie
English, do not know her, they had:
Thomas, married a Miss Skipper, lived in Tenn.
Chairity, married Joe Parish, lived in Lee Co., GA.
Mark married Drucella Harris, lived in Ark. and GA.
Isham was a preacher, married Anna Driggens, lived in Ark. and GA.
John, married Betsy Archibald, lived in Randolph Co., GA
Harriett no record.
Thomas Turner Jr.'s wife died and he married the second time in SC place
and date ? to Gincy Parish (Parrish)--was Gincy her name or nickname?
They had the following children:
William Kennedy Turner, born 29 Jan 1824 Marlboro Dist., SC came to
Texas when he was young was a ME preacher have complete data on his
decendants.
Nancy Turner born about 1825 in SC married John Arnold, lived in
Calhoun, GA.
Patsy Turner born about 1827 Fayette Co., GA. Married John Booker.
Lizzie Turner born about 1829 Fayette Co., GA married Mr. Williams.
Drury Turner died in infancy.
George Washington Turner (my grandfather) born 13 Nov 1833 Henry
Co., GA came to Texas when he was 12 years old and lived with his Uncle
Aaron who had moved to Texas a short time before from GA.
Melissa Turner no record.
Gincy Parish Turner, second wife of Thomas Turner Jr. died about
1844 in Henry Co., GA. Thomas is said to have married twice after her
death but had no children by these last marriages. Thomas was a soldier
in the War of 1812 and is buried in or near Tunnelhill, GA (Mrs. Crow
wanted to find his grave and place a marker). Thomas Turner Jr. had
four sons who were pioneer Methodist preachers, Isham, William Kennedy,
George Washington, and Aaron Turner.
Note that in her listing of children of Thomas Turner Jr. she did not
list a son Aaron but then when she enumerates his four sons who were
preachers she lists an Aaron Turner.
Hope this might be the family Mary Ellen May and Anna Mosely are
searching for.

Here's all that I have on the Turners that I can prove:
The only one I can state for sure is Henry Harmon Turner b: May 16,
1888, Saluda, SC. M: Addie Ceabell Corley b: Feb. 17, 1888, Saluda, SC.
Believe parents of Henry were: John H. Turner b: 1857, SC.; m:
Elizabeth (Bessie) Corley.
Henry and Addie had nine daughters and a son (my father): John Wesley
Turner, Sr. b: July 5, 1927, Edgefield, SC.
The nine daughters married: KIRBY, WORTHINGTON, KEMP,
STROUD, HARRIS,
BEASLEY, BABINEAU, MARLOW & CALDWELL, COOPERS.
They all lived in Greenwood, SC. With the exception of Babineau -
Michigan. Later on - Coopers and Kemps moved to Florida.
Any help appreciated. Thanks, John (jwt@flash.net)
