Nyla ================== Subj: Aaron Turner Date: 97-09-09 13:37:44 EDT From: ablancett@scescape.net (Allen or Gail Blancett) To: NCreed1@aol.com, AMose17325@aol.com Hi Nyla, I eavesdrop on your web site on Turners/Burnetts etc. I do a lot of research on Turners in SC and recently that has expanded over into GA. So far I've not spotted anything on my Turners on your site but I haven't read all of the compilations yet so there may have been and I just haven't seen it yet. My Turner family was in Spartanburg Co., SC from at least 1785 and some of them were there up until at least 1831 and 1837; many moved to Alabama by way of KY about 1816/1817. My family is headed by Henry Turner Sr. (birth estimated 1730s) and includes children William Turner, Lewis Turner (b. 1761/2 Frederick Co., VA), Darby Turner, Henry Turner Jr., James Turner, John Turner, Sarah Turner Sartain and Nancy Turner Bishop. Interestingly, they lived on Shoaly Creek of Lawson's Fork and appear to have been neighbors of some of your Burnetts. I noticed in one of the most recent compilations a note from Mary Ellen May (her e-mail address wasn't listed) and Anna Mosely and their search for Aaron Turner of Henry Co., GA. I can't say for sure if this information is going to be their Aaron or not, but it is possible. Perhaps they have more information that will help them decide. This information is from "A Collection of Upper South Carolina Genealogical and Family Records" Vol. II, edited by James E. Wooley (copyright 1981 by Southern Historical Press). The information is said to have been given by Mrs. Edmon L. Crow of Dallas, Texas, dated 7 Aug 1853. However, I believe the year here should have been 1953. The references in parentheses are those stated by Mrs. Crow. Family of Thomas Turner The will of Thomas Turner, Sr. was probated in Marlboro Dist., SC 26 July 1822, he named the following chn. James, Aaron, Jane, Thomas Jr., (my great grandfather) Moses, John, Mark, and Mary. His wife Chairity was not named in the will, so presume she was dead before this date. In April 1803 is a transfer of 200 acres of land by Thomas Turner, to Alex Rascoe, the wife's dower in this deed is Chairity Turner. So we know she was living in 1803. In the History of Old Cheraw's, by Bishop Alexander Gregg, that Thomas Turner Sr. was Clerk for Cheraw Dist. in 1773. He further states on page 226 on 9 June 1775 the Lt. Governor named twelve magistrates for Cheraw Dist., SC Thomas Turner Sr. being in the list of names. Aaron Turner, married Sallie English, had Joe, Aaron Jr., Esther, Sallie and Anne. Thomas Turner Jr. (my great grandfather) married a sister of Sallie English, do not know her, they had: Thomas, married a Miss Skipper, lived in Tenn. Chairity, married Joe Parish, lived in Lee Co., GA. Mark married Drucella Harris, lived in Ark. and GA. Isham was a preacher, married Anna Driggens, lived in Ark. and GA. John, married Betsy Archibald, lived in Randolph Co., GA Harriett no record. Thomas Turner Jr.'s wife died and he married the second time in SC place and date ? to Gincy Parish (Parrish)--was Gincy her name or nickname? They had the following children: William Kennedy Turner, born 29 Jan 1824 Marlboro Dist., SC came to Texas when he was young was a ME preacher have complete data on his decendants. Nancy Turner born about 1825 in SC married John Arnold, lived in Calhoun, GA. Patsy Turner born about 1827 Fayette Co., GA. Married John Booker. Lizzie Turner born about 1829 Fayette Co., GA married Mr. Williams. Drury Turner died in infancy. George Washington Turner (my grandfather) born 13 Nov 1833 Henry Co., GA came to Texas when he was 12 years old and lived with his Uncle Aaron who had moved to Texas a short time before from GA. Melissa Turner no record. Gincy Parish Turner, second wife of Thomas Turner Jr. died about 1844 in Henry Co., GA. Thomas is said to have married twice after her death but had no children by these last marriages. Thomas was a soldier in the War of 1812 and is buried in or near Tunnelhill, GA (Mrs. Crow wanted to find his grave and place a marker). Thomas Turner Jr. had four sons who were pioneer Methodist preachers, Isham, William Kennedy, George Washington, and Aaron Turner. Note that in her listing of children of Thomas Turner Jr. she did not list a son Aaron but then when she enumerates his four sons who were preachers she lists an Aaron Turner. Hope this might be the family Mary Ellen May and Anna Mosely are searching for. Gail R. Blancett ==================== Gail: Thanks for all the information. I hope that is Mary Elleen's and Anna's line. Nyla ===================== Subj: Member Date: 97-09-09 07:04:54 EDT From: jwt@flash.net (John W. Turner) Here's all that I have on the Turners that I can prove: The only one I can state for sure is Henry Harmon Turner b: May 16, 1888, Saluda, SC. M: Addie Ceabell Corley b: Feb. 17, 1888, Saluda, SC. Believe parents of Henry were: John H. Turner b: 1857, SC.; m: Elizabeth (Bessie) Corley. Henry and Addie had nine daughters and a son (my father): John Wesley Turner, Sr. b: July 5, 1927, Edgefield, SC. The nine daughters married: KIRBY, WORTHINGTON, KEMP, STROUD, HARRIS, BEASLEY, BABINEAU, MARLOW & CALDWELL, COOPERS. They all lived in Greenwood, SC. With the exception of Babineau - Michigan. Later on - Coopers and Kemps moved to Florida. Any help appreciated. Thanks, John (jwt@flash.net) ==================== Subj: Re:Turner Date: 97-09-09 01:11:22 EDT From: cfturner@juno.com (CHARLES F.
