Just a note to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS Y'ALL and to let you know of a
change in email addresses. My _primary_ address is now
<< sciototrails@usa.net >>
though my former address is still active (pending the phase-over to
sciototrails@usa.net). By 01 Jan 1998, that phase-over should be
complete (I hope).
Best wishes for a generationally-filled 1998, and may those brick
walls come a-tumblin' down! ;-)
Thanks!

Hugh and Sandy-
I've just finished finals for the semester (I'm a law student at KU) and I'm
going to update the site in the next few days and put the latest and greatest
on there. I've heard that several people have had trouble with the "self-
executing" files I put up there a couple of weeks ago, so I'm planning on
changing them back to the zipped files that you
download and then use a zip utility on to open.
Chris Gaunt has the entire set on her website, and has a search engine there
for you to use to hunt for specific names. I am working on getting ahold of a
small program that will search multiple text files, and I will make this
available on my site later on if I can.

Kevin,
What a fine job you have done compiling the messages to the TURNER, etc
mailing list....questions:
1) Are the various files indexed anywhere?
2) Can one "get" files individually, in other words I have downloaded
through the comp150 and when the site is updated, can I get the newer
files?
I cannot subscribe to lists as my EMAIL address changes with each
transmittal of messages so that automatic processors do not recognize
the registration.
The RUDDs in my GATEWOOD file start with William of Shorpshire, Eng and
are LDS people, if you are interested.
REgards,

Did you already get a copy of this? I don't see your email address

Please forward the following query to the Turner Group.
I am interested in recreating family grouping of the Turner slaves. My
gggg-grandmother Jemima "Mima" Turner Jones was given to Allen S.
Turner, son of Shadrach Turner upon his decease in Lincoln County Georgia, 31
December 1844. Although the minutes of the inferior court listed some
family groupings, Mima was listed alone.
Mima remained on the "Durrette Plantation" where Allen S. Turner was the
overseer, and Dr. Joel L. Turner was the Owner of the plantation in Hart
County Ga. I have reviewed guardianship records whereas Mima was hired
out to other plantations, but unable to locate family listing.
Jemima Turner born ca 1830's, census record stated born in Georgia, but
dau d.c. listed S.C. as place of her mo's birthplace. Eldest child was
named Diana Jones, and one daughter named Savanah married Rev. Alfred Waller.
There are other children listed in the 1870 census, Betsy, Daniel, Laura,
Clarisy.
Please share with me any info you have on Turner slaves whether they are
listed above or not. Thank you.

Dear Brad: I know you probably think I am not a true genealogist not
getting back to you like I promised, but the Annual Christmas Flu has me
a little under the weather. I looked at my records and what I have on
Shadrack Truern is not a will, but in fact records from the INferior
Court, Lincoln County Ga. It is as follows:
George Lincoln County
By virture of an order from the Honorable the Inferior Court of said
county when sitting for orgindary purposes on the first Monday in November
last
to us as indication another ?? and requiring us to make distribution of the
Negroes belonging to the estate of Shadraack Turner late of said county
deceased among distributes of said estate, we proceeded on this day to

deceased,

Brad, this is the only other copy of a legal document I have on the
Turners. It is useless to me, but may be useful to someone else.
Inferior Court to Dr. J. L. Turner.
Georgia; Hart Couny} Persuant to the Statute of AD 1854 after public
notice made in the Southern Banner (Athens Ga) & other papers of public print
on the sixth date of July Eighteen Hundred & Fifty-four. H.L. Chandler Jos
V Richardson Micajah Carter & Clayton Webb Justises of the Inferior Court
of said count at the county site of said county did put up and expose to
sale Town Lots No. 10 in the town of Hartwell County site of said county
containing 1.4 of an acre more or less when Dr. JL Turner being the
highest bidder said Town Lot was knocked off to him at & for the price of
Seventy Dollars now therefore this indenture made and entered into this 5 Day

I proofread the above, and the mispellings and language are as to close
to the interpretation of the document I can give you.
When you search in your documents on Joel & Allen Turner, see if you can
get a listing of slaves brought into their marriages with the Jones'
girls. I am curious why if Jemima was originally owned by Shadrach Turner,
how
we obtained the surname Jones. I hate to assume that the father of her
children went by the surname without any proof. In 1872 she married
Crockett Patterson, and again some of her children changed their names.
Happy Holidays to you and your family. Also I will be away from office
from Christmas until after the New Year.
