Mitosis, I have been struggling to find information on the following
ancestors, thought you might be able to help sort everything out.
Apparently there was two John Turners and two Nancy Brunet's. One John
Turner and Nancy Brunet got married in 1804 in Patrick County, Virginia,
had a family there and died there. The John Turner and Nancy Brunet I am
interested in were married in (per oral history) Patrick County, Virginia,
had four children there (the marriage certificates of these four children
state they were born there), moved to Floyd County, Kentucky and had five
more children. John and Nancy's first child was Adam Turner born about
1815 in Patrick County, Virginia. I know from court documents that
Nancy's father was William Brunet. Nancy had a sister named Elizabeth who
married John Toggle. Their other children are: Elizabeth, Judith,
Greenville, Morgan, William, John Burke, Israel and Alexander. Any
information you might be able to provide on this family would be
appreciated.
==========================================================
Eunice, June... please look over my shoulder on this one!
Jim, this from the notes of David... (How reliable, well I add his as
addenum to the KJV)
"There remains confusion as to the children of Rev.John Turner and his
first cousin, John Turner,Jr - son of John M.Turner and Elizabeth
"Betsy" Price. ~~~ Other researchers in Patrick and Henry Counties~ many
believe that Ruth Turner, and Elizabeth Jane Turner belong to the to the
family of John Turner, Jr."
I think you may indirectly be caught up in this scenario...plus wrinkle
anew that you add. Now, certainly I can be wrong in this first "rush
to judgement", however you've been waiting to long for a return to
yours, so thought it best to at least let you know I hadn't trash your
request. You might send a couple generations of data to June, that have
reference to the Burnett data. Now she's a busy gal so don't expect a
speedy reply, but were Burnetts are concerned there just ain't no
better. I'm still looking at this, so hope to have more later.

Begging your pardon for the re-format of your letter Jim, however had to
do in order for my simple mind to work with.
Not sure, but believe most of this may have been June's efforts, and
what little I could add. Still suggest you send what available to
jbbork@ix.netcom.com. Suggest you forward at least 2 generations, more
it you like, for her review. Feel sure she can tidy up any I've missed.
Checking my first scenario (which was in error) lead to information
that's way down at the bottom!

Hey--
I've been running a Mustek Paragon 1200 SP for about a year and a half, and I
can tell you that if you lower the resolution on the scan, you can cut the file
size dramatically. Each pixel in an image file takes a certain number of bytes
for all the information on what color and shade it needs to be. The more
pixels, the more information needs to be stored, and the file size jumps
exponentially. You can, on certain models, set the scanner for "grayscale" and
save a lot of room as well. The highest savings, for documents, comes when you
set the scanner for "line art", which is the setting used for OCR (optical
character recognition). These files are normally very small, and e-mail easily.
The last option is to actually use OCR, to capture the text, and import it
into a document. You don't have the original formatting or appearance, but you
use almost no room for transmitting the information, if that's what you're
interested in.
I would be more than happy to explain any of these things further, should
anyone need "extra" help.

Bed scanners, this things are getting pretty cheap now. When I last
reviewed these dudes the software required to drive these things created
files to large to transmit via email, even when zipped. Most ISP's have
1meg to 1.5meg limit on message size. Do any know if new generation
software has improved upon this problem?... hate to do the research over
again if somebody has a quick answer? Would be used to duplicate
genealogical documents as opposed to MonaLisa painting :=)

Thanks for the additional on scanners, Kevin.
Certianly it's time I should revisit the possible purchase of one of
this dodads. When I was reviewing same, no choices, or selection was
available therefor large files was product issue. That was about 5yr
ago, so apparently much has changed. Again thanks for the benefit of
your experience.

Jeanette... let me know if you're able to receive this message without
problem. If so, then I will forward last three digest, hopeful that
will catch you up with things. What OS are you operating Windows 3.1,
Windows 95 or 98.
Also if you're using one of the Windows system are you using native
email program. If email program is other, such as "Eudora" etc, I will
need that information also. Will try to help get you setup to read
email.

Hi, Folks,
There are quite a few folks using AOL who are on the list; possibly one of
them can chime in on how they are getting the digest.
I see the problem with the way the digest is created. When I get time I
will see what happens if I modify the script so that it sends out a
"Content-Type: text/plain" header instead of "Content-Type:
multipart/digest; boundary="--------" header, possibly this weekend.

Hi, again,
Forgot to mention that you can avoid the email headers added to the text
of the digest by sending for them from the list's -request address as
follows:
To: BTRVETC-D-request@genealogy.org
Subject: archive
Message: get volume98/62
Note the "D-request" in the To: field. And you *must* use the Subject
"archive" and it *must* be in lowercase.
You can get a listing of the digests by sending the following message:
dir volume98/
And then to retrieve the issue you want, just send a new message to the
server with Subject: archive and message body of "get volume98/##"
(where ## represents the issue number).
Hope that's not clear as mud <grin>,

Jim, have you found a John Turner on the Floyd Co, Ky Census? Or on the
tax list? Both are available.
You might try 1830 Adair Co, Ky census. I have a record that says
"Greenville Turner was born in Adair co in 1829, the son of John Turner
and FRANCES BURNETT. Greenville married Sally Martin, b. 1837 and they
had a son named John Henry Turner, b. 1856 who married Rhoda
Gerhart/Gearhart, b. 1860 and lived in Floyd Co, Ky."
All the census records need to be consulted. I don't have the 1840
Floyd Co census but it looks like the Burnetts there are on page 253:
William Burnett; Adam Burnett; Francis Burnett; John B. Burnett.
It is just a wild guess that your John Turner took off for Texas about
1847-8 and may have gone to the gold fields in California. The 1850
Census of both Texas and Calif. needs to be checked.

JOHN TURNER married NANCY "Fannie" BURNETT, born about 1790 VA and died

Therefore... it should read:

To date. have not been able to associate this "John Turner" with any of

Cannot say at this time that I know this John Turner's parents...
Looking at his peers and what may be "family names" within this lineage
I have some thoughts that I will review when I can re-visit the issue.
Certainly nothing that I would be willing at this point to offer as
possible scenario. Believe the list of pubs that Eunice gave us at
Patrick may contain the census June suggested. Anyways, will advise you
any I find.
When this "Family Sharing Hour" began, I promised to answer all, even if
the answer was to be "I dunno". While I do not regret this effort...
One can insert big "foot" in one's mouth and I have yet in my mailbox to
answer.
Would hope that sometime in the near future we can have another such
effort, and that I shall be able sit on the side. May I applauded the
efforts of the "SourDoughs", without their help this would have been for
naught. Thanks to Chris for being there at just the "right time".
Something special for Eunice and June. This two gals have other venues
to chase, and can't thank them enough for laying theirs aside to help us
in our effort.
Thank you all...

This book is VERY well written. I've not finished it yet, still don't know
the price, but it is certainly a slice of history, and very interesting.
Please don't ask me for info. I've told you all I know.

When did the "Family Sharing Hour" begin? Did I miss something along the way?
Thanks.

============================================
... uh, well, ooh jezzzz, Seems some clown thought it would be worth
the effort, to once again visit how the Btrvetc use to be. This "dummy"
promised to response to every post on site for 24 hours and request
others to do the same. No "runs to the CourtHouse" mind you, just to
check their database to see if they could contribute and share as best
they could.
It started a little out of sync first 8 hours cause most messages were
sent "private", Chris took a hand at that point and into the second 8
hours most messages were hitting the list. The third 8 hours was like a
birthday cake with all candles ablaze.
Eunice, June, Carole (Ole SourDough... oops "Young SourDough") ... new
names of which I was not firmilar, just a lot of people trying to help
each other, Don, Nell, Anita, Flix, Jim etc. I believe many got answers
they sought, some I regret, did not... but rest assured effort was
applied to get them an answer. Some of the Turner families I saw
posting were "William Turner, Maryland Clan", "Humphrey Turners", "Ga.
Turners", many from NC, SC. and Ky. Couple from Ct, Mass.,Utah, Ca.,
and
others.
I understand the "Clown" just wasn't prepareded for the volume of mail
that hit the site, and had to send out an SOS into the13th hour. Seems
he fell asleep at the computer with mailbox still full.
Guess I'll have to take blame for the "Family Sharing Hour" tag, but in
my defense... my email program "demands" a subject, so I just stuck same
therein. Might check with Eunice and June... maybe they can identify
this "Clown", all I can say, it was easy to tell his "elevator" wasn't
going to the top floor !!!!!
I dunno... I was just watching.

Well, I sure missed that response completely. Maybe it was while I was on
vacation. I thought I read all the messages, but it's obvious now that I
didn't. That must have been a very long 24 hours for you. Sure it wasn't
more like 24 days? Sometimes, the questions come in faster than we can
respond. But you did good.
