Subj: Fwd: Leslie Will Porter Burnett, Jr.?
Date: 97-09-23 08:11:30 EDT
From: CarBurCo
To: NCreed1
I have a picture in my grandmother's things which is labled: Porter Burnett
and Ann Polk Trimble. He looks so much like my father with lighter hair that
you know they were related. Will was the first cousin of Charles Archer
Burnett, my father. His father was Leslie "Will" Porter Burnett Jr. and wife
Mary. There is another picture (apparently these were taken at a 1940 family
reunion in Mt. Pleasant or Springfield Tennessee) with four women and
Porter Burnett. The women are Bonnie Burnett, "Jim" A. Trimble, Ann P.
Trimble and Anna Burnett in Springfield, Tenn....must be near Mt. Pleasant.
One of the women looks to be grandmother age (of Porter), one the age of a
mother and two who could be sisters or perhaps sister and wife.
LESLIE WILL PORTER BURNETT, SR.was the son of JW BURNETT
and ANN PORTER. His wife's name was MARY:
their children: LESLIE WILL PORTER BURNETT, JR; Anna Frances
Burnett, infant girl Burnett, "Bucky" Burnett. He could have been named for
Capt. William Wiltshire Burnett,CSA (nicknamed Buck) who was his
grandfather.
LESLIE WILL PORTER BURNETT, JR. would have been born in the
1920's, I since he was probably in his twenties when these pictures were
taken in 1940. I could be off some years, though because my father, his first
cousin, was in his 30's in the 40's. I believe he had a son who would be the
third of that name.
If anyone is a descendant of this man, please let me know.

Bruce,
I have been meaning to ask you if you are by any stretch of the
imagination a descendant of PORTER BURNETT? All my ancestors seem to
be related (Ransom-Portis (Poythress) Porter?? I have a picture in my
grandmother's things which is labled: Porter Burnett and Ann Polk Trimble.
He looks so much like my father with lighter hair that you know they were
related. He was apparently the son of Porter Burnett ("Will") and wife Mary.
There is another picture (apparently these were taken at a 1940 family
reunion in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee) with four women and Porter Burnett.
The women are Bonnie Burnett, "Jim" A. Trimble, Ann P. (Porter?) Trimble
and Anna Burnett in Springfield, Tenn....must be near Mt. Pleasant. One of
the women looks to be grandmother age (of Porter), one the age of a mother
and two who could be sisters. Probably not, but you never know.

Subj: Three Turner Families
Date: 97-09-23 15:23:38 EDT
From: anhughes@palmnet.net (Ann N. Hughes)
I had a query as to the third Turner family that J. D. Turner spoke of, so
I looked up James Dana Turner's letter of 10 March 1990 to James H.
Turner and this is what he said, "There are 3 separate Turner families in our
area of VA. 1. in Bedford County a James Turner who was Anglican, 2. In
Henry and Franklin Counties, the Shadrack clan was as you thought, "Scotch
Irish," and 3. the Adam Turner family in Patrick County was Irish. Keeping
these three families separate has been a major task. In Patrick Co, some
intermarriages took place between the Irish and Scotch Irish Turners."
I have copies of the two James' correspondence up to Feb 1993. He didn't
mention this subject again. James Dana Turner died, I believe in 1993.
Ann
=================
Ann: I love it! I'm a descendant of Shadrack Turner. I've always thought
"we" were English (Anglican?). (My great-great-uncle Will Turner said it,
and I believed it.) Will we ever know for certain?
Is the Adam Turner family descendants of the Francis Turner family?
