I am searching for any information on the family of Rebecca Turner, b.
c1790-1800, m. Jonas Bird/Byrd. Rebecca is believed to be from Jefferson Co.,
GA, but I've not been able to locate any info on her family. Jonas and
Rebecca Bird/Byrd lived in Bulloch, Emanuel, Telfair, and Clinch Co.'s, GA,
and had the following children:
Matthew Bird, b. c1815-1820, Emanuel Co., GA, m. Elizabeth McCullough
Unknown Daughter
Hattie Ann Bird, b. 1822, m. Mr. Newell
Sherod Bird, b. 1823, Emanuel Co., GA, m. Amanda Caroline Roberts
Wiley Bird, b. 1825, Emanuel Co., GA, m. 1) Eliza Wilcox, 2) Samantha Creech
Winnifred Bird, b. 1830, Emanuel Co., GA, m. James Fullwood
Sophronia Bird, b. 1832, Emanuel Co., GA, m. James Hinson
William Arlington Byrd, b. 1833, Emanuel Co., GA, m. 1) Narcissus Stanfield,
2) Martha A., 3) Mrs. Mattie Prince
Anthony Bird, b. 1837, Emanuel Co., GA, m. Matilda Boone
Jesse Bird, b. 1839, Emanuel Co., GA, m. Eliza Jernigan
Any information on any of these families would be greatly appreciated.
However, the family of Rebecca Turner is my brick wall and we are most
interested to learn about her family.
Thank you.

JUNE,
Here is a correction on the information I gave you for Vol. 1, p
362b BURNETTS AND THEIR CONNECTIONS) my gggrandfather, Joseph Bolling Burnett
is listed having married ANNA BEEZLEY/Beasley dtr of BARNET or BARNARD
Beasley. BUT I have since discovered that she was the dtr of
THOMAS BEEZLEY/BEASLEY b. 1770 Warren Co. NC d.1828 Rutherford Co,
Tn. and SALLY JACKSON. Thomas' father was JOHN PITTS BEEZLEY/BEASLEY D. 1792
Warren Co. NC and wife Elizabeth.
BARNET BEEZLEY/BEASLEY was the brother of Thomas. i.e. Barnet was ANNA B.
BURNETT's uncle, not her father.
Don't know if you are revising, but maybe you are, on computer. I got the
information from hlbeasley@worldnet.att.net who is a descendant of JOHN PITTS
BEASLEY, father of both BARNET and THOMAS. I believe he is also a descendant
of THOMAS. His name is Harold Beasley. THOMAS' will was filed in Aug. 1828 in
Rutherford Co, TN: executors: William Beasley, Robert Williams and JOSEPH
BURNETT (this BURNETT is undoubtedly JOSEPH BOLLING BURNETT who m. Anna
Beasley. Joseph died in 1848.)
