Subject: Turner
I am descended from Shadrack Turner, fa. of Josiah Turner. His
son was Constantine Turner who was married to Mary Lavinder.
They had three children: Joseph Thomas, Steven and Emily. My
line is Joseph Thomas Turner. He fought in the Civil War in
Company I, 54th Infantry out of Floyd County.
He was married to Nancy Mary Kelley of Floyd, dau. of James L.
Kelley and Sarah Lester. He was a Primitive Baptist preacher.
The old homeplace is gone but the family cemetery is still there.
I live in Houston, Texas but my heart will always remain in
Virginia!

Subject: Constantine Turner
Hi, my name is Beckie Hammons from Houston, Texas. I grew up in
Tazewell County, VA and my mother's folks were all mostly from
around Franklin, Henry, and Patrick County. Her mother was a
Turner. I saw from your query that you are wondering about the
parentage of Constantine Turner. I can clear up your mystery.
Before my grandmother, Eliza Turner, died, she sat down with my
mother and gave her the Turner scoop on the family. Here goes:
First of all, Shadrack is the Turner we are descended from and
then through his son Josiah. The proof that Constantine is the
son of Josiah Turner is found in Deed Book 11, Page 385. It is a
deed between Josiah Turner and Constantine Turner dated July,
1820? (date hard to read). It specifically says that Constantine
is Josiah's son. This deed can be found at the Franklin County
courthouse.
We were trying to obtain proof for my mother, Marie McCall, for
the DAR. After five trips to the courthouse, on the fifth try
we found it in the first book we looked at. We were very
pleased!!! She was the first person to go in on the Josiah
Turner line, DAR National Number 760446. If you are descended
through Josiah, then you might want to get a copy of her papers.
Constantine b. Patrick Co, VA on 1800, was married twice: He
first married Ruth Pyrtle and had numerous children by her. (I
have a list of those children.) He then later married Mary
Lavinder on September 24, 1938 in Franklin Co, VA. They had 3
children: Joseph Thomas, Stephen and Emily.
Joseph Thomas Turner was born on September 10, 1841 in Franklin
Co, VA. Married Nancy Mary Kelley, dau. of James L. Kelley, on
April 25, 1872 in Floyd Co, VA. He died on November 3, 1931 in
Slab Fork, W VA.
Pamelia (Emily) was born in 1839 in Franklin Co, VA. I have no
other information on her at present.
Stephen Turner was b. 1843 in Franklin Co, VA. He served in the
Civil War with Joseph and they were in the 54th Infantry, Company
I out of Floyd. The story goes is that they were captured during
the war but we do not know where they were held. After the war
they returned to Floyd. Stephen left for Ohio and the last
anyone heard from him was he was working on the Ohio River and
was getting married. (That was in a letter he wrote in December,
not sure of the year.)
Joseph Turner was a very devout Christian even in his younger
years. We have a letter that he wrote to his mother when he was
at Strawberry Plains, TN during the Civil War which alludes to
his faith. He was Primitive Baptist preacher and was ordained
the pastor at the Paynes Creek Baptist Church in Floyd, VA on
October 6, 1886.
The children of Joseph & Mary were:
Laura Ann Turner who married Gabriel L. Underwood
Mary Ann Turner b. 9 Jan 1876, d. 25 July 1887, buried in Turner
Cemetery, Floyd.
John Lee Turner m. Sarah "Eliza" Kelley.
William Constant m. Ila Jane Lester
Isaac Jones Turner b 5 June, 1889 d. October 7, 1902 buried in
Turner Cemetery.
James Wiley Turner m. Ella Nowlin.
Eliza Turner m. Archie K. Smith
Sally Mae Turner m. Artis L. Young.
Joseph and Mary Turner are buried up the hill from the old home
place there in Floyd County. What happened to Constantine and
Mary Turner? Well, what we know is that a flood occurred around
1850 or so and it washed away the business that he owned, which
was called the Rough and Ready Mill. I can't find anything on it
though. Apparently, he got pneumonia and died.
Mary Lavinder Turner, along with her children, went to live with
her sister, Emily, who had married Byrd Huff in Copper Hill
(Floyd Co) VA. The old house still is occupied today. There is
a cemetery near the house and Mary Lavinder is buried there. I
have a picture of her tombstone and the epitaph reads:
Mary Turner
Born
April 1, 1803
Died June 14, 1894
Aged 91 yrs. 2 mos. 4 days
She was a member of the Primitive
Baptist 84 years.
As you are standing passing by
As you are now so once was I
As I am now so you must be
Prepare for death and follow me.
Not many of us will reach 91 let alone the 84 years of being a
Christian and church member!!!
I hope this has been of some use to you. Should you want details
such as dates, etc. let me know!! I would be more than happy to
assist you!!!

Nyla,
Hi! Sorry I've been so long without checking in! I have
much to report!
1. I just became a Grandpa! Jordyn Paige Lininger, born
January 23, 1997, as cute as her mom.
2. Comps 1-96 have now been compressed and are on my
homepage...you can get there from Chris's homepage, Waddie's
homepage, or the address given below.
3. I've added some BURNETT FAMILY TREE PICTURES to the
website, with more to follow when I get caught up a little bit
more. Please encourage the cousins to send me pictures to put on
there. I've still got some of my own to add, including a family
picture of the younger Pryor Burnett, grandson of the Pryor
Burnett who was born in Kentucky in the early 1800's. Already
there are pictures of my great-uncle Milton, taken in 1900, 1903,
1908, 1918, and 1996!!
4. I got a very interesting letter which may set a new
record for distant communication with a cousin...read on!

Dear Mr. Stephenson:
I have been researching my family history for about seven
years now, and have recently been writing to the Shelby County
Clerk's office in Kentucky to request copies of old marriage
records, etc. In the course of our correspondence, the very nice
lady in the Archives Dept. there, Mrs. McGinnis, mentioned that
"a Mr. Stephenson in Lawrence, Kansas" had been collecting data
on James C. Burnett of Virginia in the late 1700s. I asked
Mrs. McGinnis if she would be kind enough to send me your
address, which she did.
I was born in Montana in 1943, and have spent the past 25 years
in Turkey, where I teach English. My father's parents were
Polish immigrants(our family name was originally Matuszkiewicz).
My mother's father was of German descent, but on my mother's
mother's side I am a g-g-g-grandson of James C. Burnett. My
mother's mother, Eva Lee Burnett, was a daughter of John Quincy
Burnett, who was a son of Felix Grundy Burnett, who was a son of
James C. Burnett. Are you also a descendant of James C. Burnett?
I hope you do not mind my writing to you like this, but I am so
interested in learning all I can about the Burnetts, and am
frankly thrilled to discover another person researching this
line. (boy, is he gonna be surprised)
James C. Burnett was apparently married twice. His second wife
was Catherine Gill (married in Shelby Co., 21 Nov. 1830).
(Actually Catherine was his third wife) I have found a marriage
record(in Pittsylvania Co., Va.) of a James C. Burnett and a
Keziah Pulliam, married 7 Jan. 1799. Do you know if Keziah
Pulliam was our James C. Burnett's first wife (yes, she
was)? Have you been able to trace the Burnett line back any
further than this? Do you know James C. Burnett's dates and who
his parents were (thanks to the group, I sure do!)? And do you
have any idea at all when and from where the Burnetts came to
America? Were they Scots-Irish?
If you are willing to share whatever information you have, I
would certainly be very grateful to you(as I've been to the
group). Have you been able to compile any family group sheets or
descendancy charts? If so, I would be very happy to pay you for
copies of them (no way, I'll send them to you the same way Sharon
and Harold and Ricky sent them to me). I am herewith enclosing a
stamped envelope addressed to me here in Istanbul, and would be
so happy to hear from you.
Sincerely yours,
Ronald Matz
Needless to say I was quite surprised and pleased to get this
letter, and I am answering him with a raft of information which I
was fortunate enough to get ahold of through the efforts of our
'little' group. I thought you and the group might enjoy seeing
just how far our efforts are reaching!!!
Thanks again to everyone for making this possible, and rest
assured I'm still digging, right along with the rest of you!
