Please open your Hymn book to page: "Nathanial "Nat" Henry Turner"

this...

Hum... notice that poor ole "Jefferson" was the only one without a
middle name! Whatca think? Is that likely? If I may make a suggestion,
let's try "Morris Jefferson Turner"... Guess I cheated a little there,
they always called him "Morris", that's how I was able to cipher this
one.
Uh... another problem is a break in the birth pattern, every two or
three years Lula has presented us a new babe, what happened between 1905
and 1909? Well, just maybe she made "Nat" sleep on da couch a while, or
maybe not!
Let's see... Harry Lee Turner fathered a child in 1934... see any
problem here? Guess not, I mean plus or minus a few years, who cares.
Uh... says on his tombstone b. April 29, 1907... is there a problem
here? Probably a typo!
Oh boy... it also says he died May 26, 1981... probably a damn lie, well
what else could it be, probably for insurance purposes.
Guess it wouldn't hurt to check tho... Okay SS# 226-12-1035 issued in
Va. Plug dat in da SSDI and we'll put an end all this crap!
HUSTON... WE GOT A PROBLEM !!!!!
Now class, are we still paying attention?
Note how exact the dates for Harry Lee Turner were, even tho in error...
no guess work here, somebody was working with some type document. Could
this document have been credited to the wrong Turner. If there was a
document I believe we can agree it was mis-interpted. Also that little
break in the birth pattern is repaired... Therefore some one has to be
applicable to these dates... our "MISSING SOUL". I have reason to
believe his name is "Charley King Turner". To date I have been unable
to prove same... every query I've sent get's the same reply, "I copied
it from another database". Have checked every source I can think of,
every tax list, every cemetery listing... name it, I've been there.
(Still, may not have looked at the one needed, or just plain missed it).
Okay... is there anyone who has "Harry Lee Turner, born October 11, 1909
and died November 27, 1930, who did not copy this information from
another database?? If so, you have a document all of the Turners need
to know about. (Wouldn't it be hell if it was Shadrack's birth cft
they're looking at and thought it said Harry Lee... guess not huh?)
Iamma waiten and hopen, and hopen and awaiten...........
