From: bice@n-jcenter.com (Yvonne Bice)
I have been a subscriber of the Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via., etc.
compilations since the summer. I have read all the past compilations on
Chris Gaunt's page, but so far haven't found anyone working on my line.
It is possible that my family ties into the Shadrack Turner family, but
it doesn't seem likely. I decided it was time that I posted some of my
family information, hoping that someone else might be researching the
same family. I'll admit that I have many empty spaces in my family's
genealogy, but my Turners have been very elusive. I thought that I knew
alot about my Turners, but I have definitely hit a wall. Any help would
certainly be appreciated.
I will be as brief as possible, but still try to give as many facts as
possible. I will not be doing my whole family tree, just the highlights.
This is the first time that I have sent anything to any mailing list,
and I must admit that I am just a wee bit nervous. I hope that my facts
are clear. Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Here goes: We start
with the my fourth great-grandfather, John Turner. (Of course, what else
would he be named, after all every other Turner descendant seems to have
a John Turner in their past.)
John Turner---born about 1750-1755-this is purely a guess on my part. I
thought that he was probably in his
twenties when he served in the Revolutionary War.
He enlisted on August 1, 1777 in the State of
North Carolina--for the term of the War. He
served as a private and Sergeant in the North Carolina
Regiment. He was discharged at the close of the
war in 1783. About 1780/1781 he married Mary
Cloud in Stokes County, N.C. (no record has been
found of this marriage) Shortly after the Rev. War
John Turner and his family moved through Knox
County, KY, and then onto Claiborne Co.
Tennessee. He died in 1825 in Claiborne Co. Tenn.
His wife joined his children in Knox Co. KY,
where she died in 1844. Their children were one
of the original settlers of Yellow Creek, Middlesboro
Knox, then Harlan, then Bell County, KY.
These are their known children (still living in 1852).
Benjamin Turner (1781) married to Elizabeth ?
Nancy A. Turner (1784) (I think she was married to Rev. Thomas
Marsee--no real proof)
John Turner (1788) married to Elizabeth Marsee
Joseph Turner (1792) married to Mary Marsee
William Turner (1793)
Mary Turner (1793)
Most of his children remained in Bell County, Kentucky and many of their
descendants. I have more on the descendants, but don't really feel that
it is necessary to list all of them at this time.
If anyone out there knows anything about this family, I would certainly
appreciate any help. Any little tidbit will help!
Thanks for letting me enter this information into the compilations.
Hopefully, something great will come from it. Good luck to all you other
Turner researchers. I've enjoyed reading all the information that you
have send to Nyla.

Hello Mr. Marble,
I am going through all of my files, documents, and letters to insert any
sources that I neglected to put in to verify where I came across my
information. I have been getting some conflicting information on the
Turners and have been going nuts figuring out who to believe. Anyway, I
finally got all of your info loaded, thank you. I was wondering if you
have reached Kay Peterson yet. I wish she was on-line. She is a
die-hard Turner researcher. I have not been. I have just picked this
up after a year or more of laying low. I mainly like to find living
descendents or relatives that I can obtain records for. I came across a
couple of letters you may or may not be interested in. I have not
written to these people in years, unfortunately. I hope to do so soon.

Dear Mrs. McMillan,
I saw your listing of Shadrack Turner in the "Roots" Cellar section
of the March-April issue of Genealogical Helper.
This Shadrack was a brother of my 5th gr-grandfather, Meshack
Turner, who died some time before 28 Jan. 1794 in Wilkes County,
Georgia. And by the way, Meshack named one of his sons Shadrack.
Enclosed is a family group sheet which shows the very small of in-
formation I have been able to gather regarding the family of John
TURNER, the father of your Shadrack. Do you have any information about
this family to add to this sheet? My goal here, obviously, is to
eventually trace this family back into English records.
Also, I would like very much to obtain any data you may have
pertaining to Shadrack's wife and children.
Sincerely,
signed J.G. Tillery
(enclosed was a sheet with John Turner b. England married to Elizabeth ?
children:
John b. England died 1763, Henry Co., VA
Shadrack b. England died 1783, Henry Co., VA
Meshack ca.1722 b. England died Wilkes Co., GA
Abdenego b. England

Dear Mrs. McMillan
I noticed you inquiry in the Computerized "Roots" Cellar about Shadrack
Turner. You probably (sic) that he had two brothers named Meshack and
Abednigo and several sisters. You may or may not know this. He was
originally from Caroline County, Virginia. Many of the records of
Caroline County were burned in the Civil War and only the order book
remains.
Shadrack was the nephew of my ancestor, James Turner. When the mother
of the children died Shadrack was already sixteen so no guardian was
named for him. They were named for the other children in the family.
All this time the father was already deceased or no guardian would have
been named. He, the father, was apparently John Turner, brother of
James Turner, and son of Richard Turner, who died in 1744. Shadrack's
mother was named Elizabeth.
All of the Turners moved west, James into Bedford County and Shadrack
into Henry, which was apparently cut from Bedford. Descendents of James
also lived in Henry and Franklin Counties.
Sincerely,
signed
M. Jeanette O'Boyle

Are OUR Turner's related to Robert E. Lee? I have never seen this in any of
David's or Chris's research.
I told my wife she was related to Senator Packwood. I would love for a
Packwood descendant to pass that down to us as to where he fits into the
Turner-Packwood family.
Nyla, if we do go computer automated, I, for one, will greatly miss you and
the life you brought into our family of 221. [I feel like a Turner descendant
myself even though I am only married to one. I have done so much research I
feel like I am one of you].

Jesse,
Thomas Turner IV of 'Kinloch', Fauquier Co., Virginia was Robert E. Lee's
legal guardian. Thomas Turner was married to Eliza Carter Randolph, Robert E.
Lee's first cousin. I don't know if this is the relationship that you are
searching for, but it is a tie between the families. Both Robert and Eliza
are granchildren of Charles Carter. Robert is through Ann Hill Carter and
Eliza is through Elizabeth Hill Carter. Though I don't have the General, I
only have his parents, you can see a lot of the relationship on my webpage at:

Subj: Getting closer
Date: 98-01-19 16:17:01 EST
From: Abinadab
I made a discovery recently that, I think, brings me closer into
harmony with the list. I haven't yet seen any familial connections yet, but
I'm still hanging on!
I have managed to move back my Turner research one generation. The
1850 census shows an R. Turner age 45 living in Benton Co., Ark, It gives his
birthplace as N.C. He is the first generation of my Turners to settle in
Arkansas. Since my next direct ancestor, James Turner, was born in 1833 in
Arkansas and was the eldest of R's children, I estimate R. arrived in Arkansas
around 1830.
So now I am beginning to take some baby steps into the realm of North
Carolina Turners. My local FHC is very sparse in the North Carolina section.
My local public library had the 1790 NC census and I was overwhelmed by
Turners from all parts of the state. So my work is cut out for me.
I'd appreciate any help or direction as I attempt my post-1830
Arkansas Turners to their pre-1830 North Carolina forebears. My first task: If
anyone has an 1840 or 1830 Arkansas census index, I'd appreciate a list of all
the Turners whose first names start with "R."
Second, among the many Turners in the 1790 NC census were several
families who, in the racial category, were counted among "other." I'd always
believed this applied to people of mixed black and white blood. Could this
also mean Indians? I know they were constitutionally protected from taxation
but, if "civilized" would they not be included as well?
This may be crucial because Turner family lore than I'm familiar with
- I was adopted by another family and never knew my Turner blood kin - there
is supposed to be a significant infusion of Native American blood. In my
unsealed adoption papers, my birth father Turner states his nationality as
Scotch/German/Indian. I've looked on the Dawes and other rolls and haven't
made any connection to my Indian past. (For that matter, I haven't found the
German link either!)
My family's migration, what I know of it, seems to roughly coincide
in time and place with the force migrations of the Cherokees. And it could
also be that the Indian connection is not a Turner line, but one of the people
who married intothe line.
Thanks to all; I'd appreciate any direction y'all can provide.

Thanks Everyone!
I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone in this group, but especially
to Nyla, David, Chris, and Kevin for all their hard work in making these
compilations work. I have said before that I belong to some other groups, but
this is the best one. Not just because of the amount of information that is
so willingly shared by everyone, but because of HOW it is done. Very friendly
and helpful. Even though I am esentially a "cousin-in-law" to most of the
groups members, all of the information that I have learned about is part of my
children's heritage, and for that I will always be grateful. I am excited for
Nyla that she can now have more time for her own research, and I look forward
to continuing to participate in this group in its new format. I will be glad
to help out and be a "Greeter". Sherry
Nyla, David, Chris, and Kevin --this is for you! ( Hope this comes out ok!)

I was looking over some old Turner eMails earlier and found the one you sent
20 Feb 1996 to the Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Mailing List concerning the
Bible which listed descendants of John and Absalah (Absillal) Turner.
I don't know if you still have the Bible, but I wanted to do a little
detective work to see what, if anything, I could find.
I did find a marriage record that I believe is for Miles Turner and Rachel,
his wife:
Myles Turner & Rachel Smith m 8 Feb 1814 Perquimans Co, NC.
There are several Turner marriages for that county, but didn't find one for
John and Absilla (Baker) Turner.
I found several Miles Turner listed. Almost missed the one for Myles Turner.
Also, found several Benjamin Turner listed.
I don't recall seeing anyone on the BTRVETC list ask about Turners from
Perquimans Co NC, but now that I know Miles & Rachel were married there, I'll
be paying closer attention.
Hope you're doing okay and have found or soon will find a home for the Turner
Bible.

knowledge to offer an opinion on the proposed reorganization. However, I
can see some merit in dividing out the Trees so there is not so much to go
thru to find a possible reference to your ancestral name.
I am a descendant of the BURNETTS that entered Florida, circa 1820-30,
before it became a state and am desperately searching for info on Labourne
Burnett and his father, Samuel W. Burnett,originally from Va, but am sure
they spent time in the Carolinas and Georgia before landing in the Sunshine
State! Billie

Nyla,
I can only imagine the time and effort keeping this group going has taken.
You have done a terrific job. THANKS !!!! The idea of automating things
is at once appealing and sad. Improved access sounds good but losing the
human touch will be missed. I got in near the beginning of the list and
have enjoyed the information sharing. I got a lot of insights and useful
information and I hope I made some small contribution to someone's
research. It is hard to believe that this thing has grown to nearly 350
compilations. That is quite an accomplishment. Thanks again for doing all
of the work that made this possible.
About the compilation of the tree. How do we contribute? I only have a
small part starting with Admire Turner and the branch that ended up in
Kansas with Washington and Owen Turner but I would be willing to submit it.
How and where?
While I am at it I would like to thank David for all of the work he did
recently. Those compilations were of great interest.
Keep in touch,
Bob

Hi Nyla,
R. Turner's wife is named Caroline, b. in Tennessee. I say wife; census
doesn't specify relationship. But if the ages in the census are correct, 45
for him and 25 for her, she could be a daughter. She's too young to be my
ancestor James Turner's (b. 1833 in Ark.) mother. I've been thrown off by
census ages before. My hunch is Caroline is R's second wife. I don't know
whether, if she's a wife, that they were married in Tennessee or Arkansas.
And, of course, I have no knowledge of where in Tennessee this mysterious
Caroline hails.
I have copies of the 1840 and 1830 Arkansas census, hoping that would
perhaps pin things down, but they're practically unreadible.
The fact that James was born in 1833 in Arkansas leads me to believe
that R met Caroline (if indeed they are husband and wife) in Arkansas. I have
some marriage CDs for Arkansas and Tennessee, but have found no connection
yet.
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I truly appreciate it!
Jim
