For those of you who have not yet had enough of the TURNERs, here is the
beginning of my Generation 5. It is divided into four sections, Part A, B, C,
and D. As usual, all my disclaimers apply. No, it is not a work of fiction but
there is some guess work and family oral tradition involved. Please review my
instructions/comments at the beginning of generation 1 if you have not done so
already. David

John and Nancy moved from Henry County to Patrick County, Virginia
about 1828. John was a Primitive Baptist preacher along with his brother
Elkanah. When the church split about 1850, John went with the
missionary wing of the Baptist church. He served as a Civil Magistrate in
Patrick County, Virginia prior to 1850. John owned as many as 12
slaves.
John served a term as an Ensign during the War of 1812 and was
stationed at Norfolk, Virginia.
The listed birth and death dates above come from the gravestone where
John is buried. His grandson - William Turner - writing in 1914 listed
John's birth as September 21, 1779 and his death as May 20, 1874.
There remains confusion as to the children of Rev. John Turner and his
first cousin John Turner, Jr. - son of John M. Turner and Elizabeth
"Betsy" Price. The listing used in this compilation is based on the above
referenced letter by William Turner identifing Rev. John's family.
Other researchers in Patrick and Henry Counties, Virginia using birth,
death, and census records believe that Ruth Turner, Nancy Tate Turner,
and Elizabeth Jane Turner belong to the family of John Turner, Jr. and
should not be listed here.
