Nyla,
I have been reading many of your wonderful pieces on the Turner
family. I am related to the Turners. Can you provide me with
similar info on the Nolens of the Patrick County and Floyd County
Va area, specifically ancestors of or descendents of John Nolen
(1770-1855), one of the original settlers of the area. Also any
info on the Altizers of Floyd County (my mothers family)
would be appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: Turner Geneology
This note is intended to answer David Jones' question on the name
of the husband of Mary Ann Turner. I would attach this info to
the extensive group of files on Turner-Via-Burnett geneology I
found on the Internet last added to by Nyla Creed DePauk on 24
Dec 1995, but as I am a novice at this, I don't know how to do
it. If any of you like, please feel free to publish this on
the Internet.
The NOLEN family (of which I am a part) have a very strong
connection with the Turners-my family records detail many
marriages among the two families. I can trace my ancestry back
patrilineally to 1770 (John Nolen); the Nolens have been centered
since that time in the Elamsville area of Patrick County VA and
Floyd County. We have an annual family reunion, usually in June
either in Floyd or in Roanoke.
Mary Ann Turner (born about 1815, the daughter of Shadrack Turner
II and Judith Burnett) married Alexander Nolen (born 1810). They
had at least one child (Charles N. Nolen, who married Lucinda
Thomas). Charles and Lucinda had the following children (William
T., Mary Ann, Sarah, John A., Thomas S., George, and Cinderella).
Alexander Nolen (born 1810), the husband of Mary Ann Turner, was
the son of John Nolen (1770-1855) and Mary "Polly" Thomas, who
was the daughter of Charles Thomas and Judith Patterson. John
Nolen was my great-great-great-grandfather. Interestingly, Polly
Thomas' brother Joseph Thomas (1772-1855) married an "Ann Turner"
(not further identified).
Alexander Nolen's brothers and sisters were:
(1) Charles P. Nolen (1 Mar 1806-26 Jan 1875)--my great-great
grandfather, whose son Issac Alexander Nolen (11 Sept 1840-21 Feb
1923), a Civil War soldier, married Judith A. Turner (22 Mar
1857-25 Sept 1960), who told me stories of her life as a child in
the Civil War. Her parents were Jefferson Turner (a Civil War
soldier) and Susan Short. Both Judith and Susan were remarkable
women. "Aunt Judy" lived to be 103. Susan drove a wagon from
Elamsville to Abington VA to retrieve the body of her in 1861.
We can trace the Shorts back to 1613 (in England), and a branch
of that family by marriage back to an English baronet nmaed Sir
William Skipwith, whos grandson Young Short married a French
Hugenot woman in Feb 1756 (Marie, or Mary, Billiebo).
(2) Pleasant "Rusty" Nolen (1799-?);
(3) Lucinda Nolen (1810-?), who married Samuel Rakes;
(4) Judith Nolen (1804-?);
(5) and Wilson "Witt" Nolen (1812-?).
I also have a Turner connection through my grandmother Loula
Sedina Nolen Nolen (1881-1958), who was the daughter of an
Alexander Nolen (not the same Alexander as the one married to
Mary Ann Turner, born 1810) and Serapta Turner. Serapta was the
daughter of Charles Turner (1817-1857) and Violet Hall (whose
father was Thomas Hall). Charles Turner was the son of Francis
Turner (1789-1880) and Nancy Thomas (they had 7 sons and 5
daughters). Francis Turner was the son of James Turner and Mary
?. They had 7 children (Francis, Mary, Adam, Richard, Nancy,
Elizabeth, and Sallie).
Most of my info comes from a book titled "Floyd County-A History
of Its People and Places" by Dr Amos D. Wood, published in 1981
and again in 1986 by Southern Printing Company, 501 Industrial
Park, Blacksburg, VA. 24060. It has about 300 pages of
geneological records, including 8 pages exclusively on
the Turners. The Turners are mentioned in many other parts of
the book in relation to marriages into other families.
Any info that the group might have on the Nolens in the early
1800s-late 1700s would be greatly appreciated.

Nyla,
I have my Burnett Family traced back to Scotland. The Land of
the Leys. A Susan Burnett from Kenmay has written a book,
"Without FanFare". On Page 92 in the Book she shows how her
Family is related to the Burnetts of the Land of the Leys. She
shows Alexander Burnett's youngest son being John Burnett and
that he came to America. The dates fit John Burntt of 1611,
that came to America in 1635.

Subject: Smith Turner, 1750, VA
Hi Nyla,
Could someone help me out with this problem?
I am looking for information on Smith Turner, born in Virginia in
about 1750. He served in the Revolutionary War and may have been
at Valley Forge with General Washington. He married someone
named Pruett, although he may have been married more than one
time. In about 1800, he left Virginia and went west to Ohio and
Indiana.
Does anyone know in which county or region he lived and to which
other Turners he is related? Also, his name may have been Henry
Smith Turner, although he used "Smith Turner" on the Census
records.
Thanks
Phil Turner

Hi Nyla
Got a ? just looking over compliance #2 from Sun Jan 14, 1996.
I'm researching Jarrett's and Burnett's. In my research for
Addison Jarrett #4 on the compliance, I show him being married to
Martha Elizabeth Philpott March 22, 1855. Yours show him as 2nd
husband of Elizabeth Jane Turner d/o John Turner and Nancy
Burnett. Addison (2nd gr granduncle)s/o Wyatt Jarrett
and Francis Burnett(my gr gr gr grandparents). Also there is a
Martha Philpott married to William Turner on the same compliance
could these be the same Martha? Are you doing any research on
the Jarretts?
Nancy Burnett w/o John Turner and Francis Burnett w/o Wyatt
Jarrett were 3rd cousin's
Can you help with this confusion?

Hi Nyla,
Havn't written in some while but do have some information that
the group can use and is fairly easy to get.
The "Turner Papers" are available by ordering from Delaware
Public Archives, Hall of Records, Dover, DE 19901 They are on
Microfiche and there is a lot of information there. The Joseph
Brown Turner Collection has many family lines of Turners in it.
Some date back to 1600. I had been looking for this work the
first time I emailed you. The cost of the fiche was $5.00. Well
worth twice the price. Hope this will help a lot of you Turners.
I am still looking for John Turner born about 1800 in GA.
Married Elizabeth ? who was born in NC. John's parents were
from Virginia.
Happy hunting all, and hope this information will help many of
you.

Hi Again Nyla,
This all shows the family lines and birth dates and marriages and
the notes made from the research material. There are also some
legaldocuments copied on there also. It has information I have
seen on certain lines that are on the compilation and do tie in.
I really read these very carefully. There are several different
lines that are researched there on the Geo Turner collection and
maybe I can pick one of them and relate it by email to you for
the compilation.
Penny
======================================================
Penny, Thanks for the quick response. If you would do that,
there would be a lot of happy cousins. Thanks. Nyla
