We're looking forward to hearing about your family line. Anything you care to share will be appreciated. If you haven't done so already, check out all our compilations that are on Chris Gaunt's home page: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt If you haven't checked Chris' homepage lately, you might want to do that again. Nyla Vienna VA --> San Diego CA ================================== Subj: TURNERs Date: 97-05-31 21:46:34 EDT From: N4JED To: AUTOPROFIT CC: NCreed1 Debby, Well, don't know if I can be of any help or not. I have a Permelia TURNER born 19 April 1814 in Henry Co., VA and died 15 March 1898 place unknown to me and any spouse of children also unknown. My only other is Permelia Corn TURNER b. 1825 Patrick Co. Va d. after 1870 Monroe Co., KY, married George Lewis Carter 9 May 1848. Not sure anyone has a connection between the Virginia TURNERs I'm compiling and the Alabama TURNERs. I would suspect there is somewhere after all the Georgia connection is well documented. If either of these is the person you are looking for, please let us know so we can expand the lines. Hate to tell you this, but when I saw your email name, I almost deleted the letter without reading. Thought for sure it was some junkmail which I get to much of. Have you had problems with that happening to you? Thanks, David ============================================== Subj: James Turner Date: 97-06-03 03:15:09 EDT From: pennym@bmi.net (Penny Menges) Reply-to: pennym@bmi.net To: N4JED@aol.com CC: NCreed1@aol.com Hi David I got your note one the James Turner line. I do believe my John is James son. Still have a little documentation to do but I guess this does make us cousins how many times removed. Have several other cousins that I have been able to contact through the net or by mail. I will attach the down line to you when I get it ready. I am related by James to John. John had 9 children (or maybe it was 10) x Elizabeth Connel Askew. She died in Coweta in 1852 and he went to Texas that year. I am related by one of John's children was Benjamin Franklin to his son Marcus Durus, to my Grandmother. The other cousins are downline from John's other children, Thomas Jefferson, and Almyra. I have documentation back as far as John. John died in 1884 in Upshur Co., Texas. He also did marry after he got to Texas altho they did not have any children. Some of John's children must have gone back to the South after he died. I certainly would be happy to recieve an attachment as to the linage from James back. Have emailed Janice but with no responce yet. Thanks again David, I do appreciate all of the responces.

Bonham) Reply-to: bfbonham@sprintmail.com To: HarrisSEM@aol.com, ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com (ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com), strange@halifax.com, sjborko@ix.netcom.com, ncreed1@aol.com June Baldwin Bork 9375 Bella Vista Road Apple Valley, California 92308 Phone (619) 247-3790 Fax (619) 247-3790 email: sjborko@ix.netcom.net 05 May 1997 TO ALL BURNETT and CONNECTIONS: Great news! The ancestry of our first John BURNETT has been found. He was christened on Christmas Day. 1610. Enclosed is a chart* showing the families I am researching and later on, I will send you additional information. It was just too exciting to keep it a secret any longer. In Volume One of THE BURNETTS and THEIR CONNECTIONS, you will find the birth of John (I) BURNETT was 1610-1611, "in or near Aberdeen, Scotland". The reference for his age is found in Hotten's, THE ORIGINAL LIST OF PERSONS OF QUALITY, 1635 - John BURNETT, age 24, [born 1610] aboard the Ship Abraham of London, Mr. John Barker, Master, bound for Virginia, (p. 138). Plus...we know now that his wife, Lucretia, was a JOHNSON. In John's records, you will find JOHNSON references and it was conjectured at the time of writing that the JOHNSONs were probably connected. John (I) BURNETT received the Warrant or Charter to trade in Virginia from King Charles in 1638. Afterwards, several JOHNSTONS entered the scene and these will also be researched. Note too, that John (I) BURNETT's mother was Margaret JOHNSTON and it is very likely that we will find that John BURNETT and Lucretia JOHNSON were first cousins, both descending from William JOHNSTON (?) and Elspet DRUN/DRUIM (?). I am still not certain about William and Elspet Johnson and will have to do more research. The feminine names of "Elsept and Elspeth" is a diminutive of "Elizabeth" and Cristen or Christian" was very common in the early days of Scotland. In 1668, John BURNETT and Lues, his wife, sold to Thomas Gaines, all of Piscatation Creek, all their interest in 100 acres joining the land of Mr. William JOHNSON. All the births and marriages on the enclosed chart, were found in the old St. Nicholas Parish Church in Aberdeen, Aberdeen County, Scotland. St. Nicholas is located near Crathes Castle and was the church most frequented by the BURNETT of Leys. All three Volumes of the BURNETTS and THEIR CONNECTIONS have been very successful and I thank all of you for your support. John (I) BURNETT's descendants are eligible for Colonial Dames and the DAR/SAR and the books are in the regional offices in Washington. Sincerely yours, June Baldwin Bork * Due to the graphics required, June's pedigree chart could not be enclosed with this. However, you are welcome to write her and send a SASE for the chart.

A GENEALOGY SPOUSE You know you're a Genealogist's Spouse when: 1. You're the only person in the bridge/poker club who knows what a SOUNDEX is. 2. Some of your best friends live over 200 miles away. 3. You have more pictures of Tombstones than of the kids. 4. "I need a little help at the courthouse" means forget the cleaning, washing, dinner, chores; the day is shot. 5. The mailman can't believe you get this much mail from someone you don't know. 6. You explain to Mom why you can't go 25 miles for Sunday dinner but can go 100 miles to check out another cemetery. 7. " As soon as I check this census record, I'll fix the leaky faucet" means "call the plumber". 8. Your neighbors think you're crazy, your friends wonder, and you know you are. 9. Despite it all, even you are a little anxious for the next family reunion.
