All of Your hints you had are great!
I have an experinence that could help someone, too.
One of my ancestors, Kesiah Portis married Capt. Richard Ransom (1752-1827)of
VA>TN ....I had an AWFUL time finding her family. I suspected her father's
name was JOHN (big help) and they were from Halifax NC. Never could seem to
connect her to parents.....no will for JOHN could be found.
BUT FINALLY we discovered a lawsuit RE: the will of John Portis which had been
hidden by some of the family from the others....i.e. The WILL was recorded in
Halifax Co.COURT RECORDS and all the children were named......How about that??
Maybe you very experienced people knew about that little possiblity...I did
not...at the time.

They are up to their old tricks again!
Watch Out for Halbert!
Halbert's of Bath, Ohio, has come up with a new technique. They are now
sending their advertisement for Family History Books from a Washington D.C.
address.
Halbert's is now using the name "US Information Burueau NUMA" (note the
spelling of Bureau) 3220 N. St, NW Ste 1400
Washington D.C. (no zip code given)
They are advertising a book regarding all the people with your surname in
the Civil War.
Do not be fooled. This is the same game, different cover.

I am looking for information about my great grandmother. I just found
out last month that I too have a Turner connection.
What I know:
GRACE MYRTLE TURNER married TRUMAN EDWARD UPHOLE on 12-4-1893 in
Oakland area, Garrett County Maryland. Truman was 21 and Grace 17 at the
time of their marriage.
Possible connection to the Turner family listed in the 1880 census for
Frederick County Maryland.
J. H. Turner b. abt. 1842
Josephine (?maiden name)b. abt. 1846
Lenore Turner b. abt. 1870
Frank Turner b. abt. 1872
Grace Turner b. abt. 1876
(Birth state for some of this family may be Virginia)
The family listed in the census is just a calculated guess as this is
the only listing for a Grace Turner born on a date matching my Grace
Turner. (Variations on the Uphole name, Upole, Uphole, Uphold)
It is sometimes difficult to follow families in this area as new
counties were being set up and listings for Virginia could now be
West Virginia.
Many thanks for this assistance in my search.
Pat

I picked up these two BURNETT references on the Alabama list. Thought someone
could be interested:

Gerry,
My husband was watching the TLC channel and saw a piece on Chief John
Ross of the Cherokee Nation. The piece said that he had a good friend named
(something) Burnett. My husband can not remember the first name of Mr.
Burnett. This is unfortunate do to Burnett is my mother-in-law's maiden
name and we just started researching it about a month ago. We just spent a
few hours at the National Miliatry Park of The Battle of Horseshoe Bend, as a
lot of our people are from that area. Do you happen to have anything on any
Burnet/Burnett/Burnette there?
