Hello Nyla,
I am new to your list. I am sending you some brief info on my Turner
family. I cannot find any others who are interested in this NJ line of
Turners - most seem to come from Southern states.
My Turners I have found through a professional researcher are from Gloucester
County NJ and have been established back to a marriage in 1738 of a Robert
TURNER and Abigail BOURNE.
It is believed that Robert was descended from a Robert TURNER that came to
the colonies in Nov 1675 on the ship the "Griffen" with John FENWICK.
This group began the settlement of Salem, NJ the first permanent English
speaking settlement on the Delaware River. We do not have proof yet of
this relationship, but the researcher is working on it.
Our line from Robert & Abigail TURNER follows:
Meriall TURNER, b. April 22, 1753, d. 1826 m. Hannah Boqua
Meriall TURNER, b. abt 1778 m. Sarah (?)
Robert TURNER, b. abt 1814 m. Amy CLARK
Lewis C. TURNER, b. abt 1840, m. Rachel BARCLAY
Samuel E. TURNER, b. Aug. 30, 1878, d. 1918, m. Margaret McNAMARA
Lewis Samuel TURNER, b.Dec.9, 1910, d.1980, m. Hazel SNEADE (my parents)
Barbara May TURNER, b. 1934
Meriall purchased a "Stone house" from the Uncle of Daniel BOONE, in NJ in
which 4 generations of the TURNER family lived. The house is now a historical
site
run by the Washington Township Historical Society.
Would love to hear from anyone with connections or info about this family. I
also
have information on lines from other children of Abigail & Robt.

Nyla, a relative I recently located sent away to the Jewish State Museum
of Lithuania and received in March of this year 6 pages of names of jews
deported to the Kaunas Ghetto (Vilijampole) in the summer of 1941. These
pages include the Rabinovitch (Rabinovic) names in which we have a special
interest. I wonder if someone can help translate the following
information which heads up the 3 columns on these 6 pages:
Pavarde ir vardas Asmenu sk. Eskelimo adresas
Apgyvendinimo adresas
(surnames? given names?)
If you send me the surnames of people subscribing to this list I can then
post the names I have which match the subscribers on this list. Beth in

Beth: My mailing list is by screen name only. I don't keep a subscriber

Nyla,
With your formula of 2 children per family, the human race would have
become extinct in the Garden of Eden ( and we'd have no genealogies to
explore! )
Regards, Charles Turner
======================
Charles,
Then maybe I could have a real life. Do you ever count the hours
you spend on genealogy? If you're addicted as much as I am, work and
everything else really interferes with the time I'd like to be spending on
genealogy. I have two full-time jobs. One is a real job that supports my
unpaid genealogy habit. Both are 40 hour a week jobs.
So how many children do you have? I'm curious how many other
folks will comment on the number of children I mentioned.

Your two-kid proposal does invite comment and I expect many will agree.
But we had six, fived survived and they brought us a dozen grandchildren
whom we love. We have a wonderful family "security blanket" as we age,

Thank you for your skilled dedication. I'm "collecting" descendants of
the first Turner immigrant, Humphrey Turner of Scituate,MA and find one

From reading the will it sounds to me like the Sarah he mentiones was his
daughter-in-law rather than a daughter. He only gives her the land to stay
on so long as she remains a widow. Is he actually referring to his son
William's wife, Sarah Burnett Via???? ANY THOUGHTS OR OPINIONS ON THIS?
>>
To me there is no doubt that the daughter Sarah mentioned in the will was
actually his daughter-in-law, the wife of deceased son William. The old
documents seem to use some of the words for relatives differently than we use
them today. If she had been a blood daughter, he would not have given the
property only while she remained a widow. Sarah probably remarried and as we
do not know to whom, we don't know what happened to her.
Also, I am curious as to where the documentation for her name "Burnett" comes
from? I've never found any. Has anyone else?

Edna,
I have not found any actual documentation on the surname Burnett for Sarah,
wife of William. I have seen it referred to as Burnett in a couple of family
sketches but none of the authors have listed a source, many times just saying
"the traditional Sarah Burnett" ..whatever that means....stories handed down
maybe?
I'm with Edna...if anyone has ANY documentation for the name Burnett please

Hi everyone,
I am new to this list and was wondering if anyone can help me. I

information that I have:
Charlie Ernest Via (June 10, 1899 - May 31, 1970) married Indi Anna Sowder
(May 22, 1902 - December 12, 1993)
Charlie was the son of Kaney Via and Mary Francis Turner.
Indi Anna was the daughter of Shadrack Sowder and Mary Mitchell and the
grandaughter of Emanuel and Exonia Sowder.
Any help would be appreciated.

Several days ago, I asked if anyone knew anything about the John Turner
who died testate, June 1764 in Halifax Co, Va (Will Bk O:180), like who
was his wife, children, etc. I am preparing a new book and really need
this info. June
======================
June:
I don't have a clue. However, I found a marriage for a John Turner and
Sarah Derrick married 2 Oct 1741 in King George Co VA. That's the oldest
marriage for a John Turner that I can locate.
Marriages of Turners in Halifax around the time John Turner died ca 1764:
James Turner and May Mcmahaney 17 Feb 1763 Halifax Co
Meshack Turner and Rebecca Roberson 6 Feb 1760 Halifax Co
Other Halifax Turner marriages:
Carter Turner and Martha K Kirby 7 Aug 1847
Daniel Turner and Margaret Blane 3 Mar 1807
Edmund Turner and Elizabeth Richardson 29 Dec 1792
George Turner and Susanna Adams 4 Nov 1799
Isham Turner and Fanney Wall 11 Dec 1797
James Turner and Sraah Irby 27 Jun 1780
Martin Turner and Sally Stanfield 24 Dec 1798
Ransome Turner and Sally Link 26 Oct 1801
Robert Turner and Fanny Chambers 14 Aug 1815
Stoakley Turner and Susanna Vaughan 25 Nov 1794
William Turner and Mary Legrand 2 Oct 1798
I have a list of Turners in the 1850 Halifax Co VA census. But they've
got to be several generations from John who died 1764.

The only Samuel Burnett found was born 22 Dec 1856 in Franklin Co, Va; d.
7 Jun 1937 at Roanoke, Va; buried Evergreen Cem; m. 9 Mar 1887 in Roanoke
to Mildred Bruce Arthur (1866-1942). If this is the right family, I have
quite a lot on them. I do not have the 1900 or 1910 Census of Roanoke Co,
so do not know if they had son Clarence. Samuel & Mildred's known
children were:
Frank Wm. Burnett (1889-1963)
Bessie May Burnett (1890-1958)
Emily Cecil burnett (1895-1972)
Roy Dewey Burnett (1898-1971)
