Hope this isn't redundant for some of you, but saw this on the Franklin
Co list and thought I'd pass it along -- looks like a familiar one! :-)

Hi folks,
I'm new, and here is my problem....
Archibald TURNER married Mary Creasy in 1825 in Bedford County,
possibly the part that became part of Franklin County, VA .
They had at least 5 children, one of which was named Obidah. Obediah
was my great grandfather. He married Nancy Dent in West Virginia, after
the Civil War.
I am trying to find information on Archibald. My understanding is that
Archibald was a mean slave owner, and Obediah and his mother, Mary,
used to sneak food to the slaves. During the Civil War, Archibald and
Mary's home was burned and they had to live in the caretaker's home.
After the War, Obediah, his brother John, and 2 of the former slaves
moved to West Virginia, where they lived the rest of their lives. One
of the former slaves became a barber in Kanawha County, and used to cut
my father's hair. Where would I look to find land records of
Archibald's plantation? I have come to a dead end when it comes to him.
Any help would be appreciated.
Russ Turner,
The Woodlands, Texas

My Bedford Co, Virginia.Turner's (Albert, son of Meador and Piety Hackworth)
finally settled in Page and Taylor Co., Iowa, via Preble and Clinton Countys,
Ohio. Albert and his wife, Elizabeth Hiatt, had eleven children, eight of
which lived to adulthood. The only male was my GGrandfather, Asher Hiatt
Turner. The other seven, all women, are the subject of this message. I would
like to find out what happened to their descendents. The seven are as
follows:
1. Narcissus M. Turner, b: 8/6/1843, Clinton Co., Ohio; m: John West,
2/22/1874, Taylor Co., Iowa.
2. Rosena J. Turner, b: 6/20/1856, Clinton Co., Ohio; m: Lorenzo Kent,
2/1862, Page Co. Iowa. My Grandfather, Alonzo Turner, tells how he was born
(1885) in a "dugout" house on the farm of 'Ren Kent, in Lincoln Co., Kansas.
I have land records and census records of Lorenzo Kent's short time in Lincoln
Co.
3. Mary Ellen Turner, b: 7/1/1849, Clinton Co., Ohio: m: Benjamin Kelso,
3/16/1865, Page Co., Iowa. I have a copy of a land tranaction, where Albert
transfers a parcel of land, 16 rods x 24 rods, to the township for $40. The
land was to used to erect a school. The representative who made the deal for
the township, was Benjamin Kelso, his son-in-law. Benjamin and Mary Ellen are
buried in the Memory Cemetary, Page Co. Their marker is an obelisk, with the
notation, of a child, who died and was buried in Indiana.
4. Sarah Alice Turner, b: 8/11/1853, Clinton Co, Ohio; m: Alfred H. Raynor,
7/3/1873, Taylor Co. Iowa. Like the Kent's, the Raynors lived and farmed for
a while in Lincoln Co., Kansas. The History of Taylor Co. Iowa, lists several
Raynors, but there is no mention of a relationship with Alfred.
5. Laura F. Turner, b: 3/26/1856, Clinton Co., Ohio, m: William D. Harris,
2/28/1877, Taylor Co., Iowa. The Harris's are both buried in the Memory
Cemetary. My GGrandfather, Asher, (Laura's brother) is also buried in their
plot.
6. Emma C. Turner, b: 5/16/1860, Page Co., Iowa; m: John H. Beale, 2/6/1861.
Mayville, Missouri (just over the state line from Taylor Co.).
7. Demaries May Turner, b: 2/9/1863, Page Co., Iowa; m: Orlando V. Long,MD,
3/1/1883, Taylor Co.,Iowa. She went by May, but died, 11/26/1905. Dr. Long,
who was highly regarded physician in Gravity, Iowa, remarried, and died in
1916 of a heart attach. He and May had a daughter, Myrtle.
I would appreciate any information about any of these families. My
Grandfather tells of visiting his Turner cousins in Southern Califonia, in
1965. I believe that they were Beale cousins, but I can't say for sure, nor
can I say that they were the only family represented.

Russ--
I don't have anything on your line in my files, but I'm sure someone in
our Burnett Research Group probably does. I'm forwarding your message to
the group in hopes someone else may have something.

Hi Kevin;
I've been looking through your web-site and have down loaded the
compression files. I've gotten through about 80 of the files so far
looking for some lose ends in my line of Burnett's. My line travels
through Floyd Co., VA to Bedford Co., VA. I have a G-G-G Grandfather named
Josiah Burnett b. abt 1806 in Bedford Co., VA. He married a Jemimah
Dickerson in 1824 in Montgomery Co., VA. His father was Samuel Burnett b.
1785, m. Sarah Smith in 1804, Bedford Co., VA. His father was also named
Samuel but that is all I have on him. I was wondering if by chance you
might have some info on this line of Burnett's. Waddie Salmon is also
looking into this for me. I would appreciate any help that you can offer.
Thanks.
Your probable cousine,
Russ

Can someone tell me what the name of the post office was at the current
Patrick Springs, Virginia location. I know that Patrick Springs became a
post office in 1925 and that prior to that it was called Shuff, Virginia and
prior to that it was called Spa Brook Station, Virginia. What I need to
know is the name of the post office for that area prior to that, or what was
the name of the closest post office to that area.

Here are some Burnetts I found in searching different records. Thought it
might help someone else. Blount Co., TN Marriages: H. T. Burnet married
Margaret Wayman 29 Sep. 1850; Margaret S. Burnet married James Goodin 22
Aug. 1855; William M. Burnett married Laticia Sharp 15 Mar. 1839; Edward
Burnette married Rachell Cheetwood 20 Jul. 1801; John S. Burnette married
Lydia S. Danforth 12 Nov. 1818. Also found a Amos Burnett in the
1810 Pendleton Co., SC census. Also a JOhn
Burnett in the 1840 Anderson Co. SC Census and the 1840 Tax records for
Anderson Co.SC.
Hope this is helpful. Libby Nations
