Notes for WILLIAM ROBERT TURNER: The following is from the history of Parker and Tarrent Counties; W.R. Turner, a pioneer of Parker County, and the best known liveryman west of Fort Worth, was born in Christian County, Kentucky, December 8, 1836, but was reared on a farm in Ballard County, Kentucky. His father, J.B. Turner, was also a native of Kentucky, and a son of Robert Turner, of Lynchburg, Virginia. The latter emigrated to Kentucky during its early pioneer days.W. R. Turner, the subject of this sketch, came to Parker County, Texas, in July 1858. He engaged in freighting in the manner common in those days, covering the territory between Houston, Jefferson, Shreveport and Weatherford. He followed that occupation until the spring of 1861, when he enlisted in the confederate service, in the eighth Texas Infantry, Wall's Brigade, Walker's division, Captain Tomlinson's company, E, was sent to Little Rock, Arkansas and participated in Bank's raid. Mr Turner enlisted as a private, but at the reorganization at Hempstead in 1862 he enlisted for three years, or during the war, and was elected First Lieutenant. After the close of Bank's campaign, the conflict was continued on Sabine River, against General Steele. After the close of the war, Mr. Turner immediately returned to this county, without money or good clothes. For the following three years he was employed by William Mosely to run cattle on the Clear fork of the Brazos River. He next assisted in driving many thousand head of cattle to the Union Pacific Railroad at Abilene, Kansas, through a country over-run with hostile Indians. Since 1870 Mr. Turner has been engaged in the livery business in Weatherford. His first barn was a small frame building on the lot now occupied by his fine stone barn, 100 x 150 feet, which was erected in 1886, but rebuilt in 1893, after it's destruction by fire. For many years before the western country was visited by railroads, Mr. Turner's teams did the greater portion of the commercial work, in which he made money rapidly, and is still a leader in the business. He is director and was Vice President of the first National Bank of Weatherford. In 1869, in Parker County, Mr. Turner was united in marriage with miss E.C. Power. Mr Turner is a member of the Masonic Order, of the K of H and the Tom Green Association of Confederate Veterans. Children of WILLIAM TURNER and EUNICE POWER are: i. AMOS5 TURNER, b.

Stephen Heffington =================== Date: 97-09-11 06:45:26 EDT From: Mrp35@aol.com Oh, I got some of the most exciting news this past weekend. I received a letter from a cousin of my father's about my Mary Emma Turner. She was born 6-7-1888 in Tallassee/Elmore Co., AL and died 5-7-1964 in Decatur, GA. However, the newest news is her parents. Sarah A. Kent b. 4-21- 1870 d. 11-26-1933 married J.O. Turner b. 11-23-1865 d. 1-12-1899. I have no married date for Sarah and J.O. J.O. Turner is buried at Pleasant Grove Cemetery, however the cousin lists no town for the cemetery. I'm assuming the Wetumpka area. His grave marker is spelled as TURRNER. Sarah's family was found listed on the 1880 Census for Wetumpka/Elmore Co, AL Thomas J. Kent w/m 60 Sarah A. Kent w/f 49 Joseph A. Kent w/m 15 Mary L. Kent w/f 13 Sarah A. Kent w/f 10 Cicero B. Kent w/m 7 Dora A. Kent w/f 4 Sarah and J.O. had four children Mary Emma 6-7-1888 (my greatgrandmother), Carrie Lovie 11-18-1892, I. Pearlie 10-2-1894 and Paul Dewey 5-9-1898. If anybody recognizes any of these names, please contact me. I've only been waiting several months for this kind of information to fall into my lap. Not years like some of you, however, I can get greedy............ ��~ Marcie ===================== Subj: Re: Comp 196 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 97-09-11 07:47:53 EDT From: ekirkman@swva.net (Eunice B. Kirkman) To: NCreed1@aol.com Response to remarks by: From: JaniceBT@aol.com To: ncreed1@aol.com (nyla), n4jed@aol.com (david) >The marriage does say Roberson for her though her father was >Robertson--expect it should be Robertson but it's funny that her own >father--who performed the marriage would spell her name incorrectly??? The names Robertson/Roberson are the same family throughout this region. The fact that the T was dropped after Rober(T)son has more to do with phonetics and regional accents. (And Ministers were not the greatest spellers!) When I first started researching my Robertson ancestors, it nearly drove me up the wall. When I discovered the generational branch that dropped the R and placed a copy of the lineage in the local library, I was castigated, "That is not true, etc. etc." But several other researchers had the same results, so.. take a Robertson/Roberson any way you can get them, even if you spell it Robinson in some cases. Eunice B. Kirkman -------- ekirkman@swva.net -=| Virginia - The cradle of the nation |=- ==================== Eunice: I can vouch for Robertson/Roberson/Robinson being a challenge. I have that for a first name in one of my families. Took me awhile to realize it was the same person, regardless of spelling. Nyla ==================== The end of this compilation.
