Sherry,
Thanks so much for posting the Rakes info. I'm going over it right now.
So far I haven't found many discrepencies, but what few I have are not well
sourced on my part, so I changed them to match your info. If I find one
that is a serious discrepency and I feel like my source is an excellent
one, I'll let you know about it so that we can discuss it further. I
gather info from every place I can get it, like Nyla said, even notes on
the back of an envelope are worth taking a look at, hehe. But I have
learned to document my sources well, noting them as secondary, good, and
excellent, and when I find a discrepency, I depend on that to help me to
decide which is more likely to be the correct info with the hopes that
later on I will find a primary source to verify it.
Note to all: Anytime I submit info to the group and you have questions
about it, please ask me for my sources. I don't include them on a regular
basis in my submissions because of the space they take up. However, on my
web site, which needs updating, source information is included in an
abbreviated state.
Thanks to all of you for all the great info you've submitted. I'm way
behind in sorting it all out :)

Subj: Turner Corrections in Comp 202B
Date: 97-11-08 20:37:48 EST
From: ROMONA T@aol.com
Dear Nyla,
I wanted to pass this information along to the group. I would like to add a
correction to comp 202B. I believe there is confusion regarding the "wives"
and "children" of Lewis Turner #78 file 881. Comp 202B Revised shows Lewis
Turner, son of Jeremiah and Rachel Ross Turner, as marrying 1)Cynthia Foster
-882 and 2)Lucretia ____-6668.
Lewis Turner, son of Jeremiah and Rachel Ross Turner did not marry 2)Lucretia
____.
Lewis who married Cynthia Foster and the Lewis Turner who married Lucretia
are two
different people. Documentation is as follows:
The 1850 census of Patrick County, VA listed three(3) Lewis Turners. In 1850
we have:
Lewis Turner 54 Blacksmith b. abt 1794
Ann 32
Jeremiah 24
This Lewis Turner was the son of Jeremiah and Rachel Ross Turner, and married
Cynthia Foster. Patrick Co.,VA Death Records show Lewis Turner's death date
as 24 Nov 1885. Death record lists consort as Cynthia (although she had
previously died), and the informant was H.H. Hall, Sr., son-in-law. Lewis
and Cynthia Foster Turner had the following children:
Ann Turner- b 24 Oct 1818 marr Blann Hall
Xeony Turner-b 30 Jan 1822 marr H.H. Hall
Jeremiah Turner-29 Nov 1826 marr Martha Jane Turner
Rachel Turner b. 29 Nov 1825 d Jan 1826
* Note: This couple did not have a child Mary -6669 who married Michael
Cassell-6670
Documentation will follow
The second Lewis Turner listed in the 1850 Census of Patrick Co., VA shows:
Lewis Turner 65
Lewresey 52
Susan 21
Louisa 18
Bartlett 16
John 14
Myres 12
Jackson 10
James 8
Salley 6
As you can see, there were two Lewis Turners existing simultaneously in
Patrick County, Va in 1850. Further documentation as follows:
Lewis Turner 65 b abt 1796 - no further documentation as to parentage
Lewresey 52 b abt 1798 - no further documentation as to parentage
Last Will and Testament of Lewis Turner (Will Bk 4, 158- Patrick Co., VA)
names following children:
WILLIAM G. b. abt 1822 - reference 1850 Census marr 5 Feb 1846
Mary Francis Ayres b. abt 1822 daug of Thomas Ayres in Patrick Co., VA
Children - in 1850 Census of Patrick Co., VA
George b abt 1847
Martha b abt 1848
Deed Bk 15, pg. 450:
William G. Turner sale to T.J. Penn rights and title to estate of father,
Lewis Turner, Sr.
Dated 25 Aug 1856 - Patrick Co., VA . LEWIS - possibly living in household of
Murphy
Harris and wife, Martha Ayres.
This is the third Lewis Turner listed in 1850 Patrick Co., VA census.
MARY E. CASTLE b. abt 1822 marr Michael Cassell 8 Dec 1841 Patrick Co., VA*
named as child in LW&T documentation shows not child of Lewis and Cynthia
GREENWOOD b abt 1828 (per 1850 Census) marr Rebecca Ayres 24 Dec 1847
(Patrick County Marriages), Rebecca daug of Thomas Ayres. Child: Mary Jane
b abt 1849 - per 1850 Census This appears to be the only child of Lewis
and Lewresey Turner who remained in the Patrick County, VA area by 1860.
1860 Census shows:
Greenwood 33
Rebecca 31
Mary 10
Susannah 9
Franklin P. 7
Nancy 5
Ruth P. 25
SUSAN b abt 1829 per (1850 Census) no further record
RUTH - not shown with family in 1850 Census, but named as child in father's
Last Will and Testament written April 1851 PCVA - no further record

Per Patrick County, VA Marriages - no further record
BARTLETT b.abt 1834 -per 1850 census PCVA- no further record
JOHN b. abt 1836 - per 1850 census-PCVA Deed Bk. 14, pg. 450 sale to T.J.

- PCVA - no further record
ADMIRE b abt 1838 per 1850 census PCVA - no further record
JACKSON b. abt 1840 per 1850 census PCVA - no further record
JAMES MARION b. abt 1842 per 1850 census PCVA - no further record
SALLY A. b. abt 1844 per 1850 cenus PCVA - no further record
I realize that I am one of the "new kids on the block" here, but at one
time I thought perhaps my William Green Turner may have been a child of
Lewis and Lewresey Turner and I gathered some information on them before I
realized there was no family connection. However, every little bit
helps!! I hope this will help someone. Romona
=======================
Romona: Thanks for taking time to clarify the Lewis Turner info. Hope you
soon feel a part of the group, not like a new kid on the block. Nyla
