Nyla CREED DePauk San Diego CA ======================= Subj: Re: Comp 153 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 97-07-23 01:03:52 EDT From: RTact To: NCreed1 Does anyone have any detailed info on Stephen Terry Turner, I am hoping he ties into my Turner line, but my info only goes back to about 1880. Does anyone know what was the last census he may have shown up on and where? Thanks for any help. Cynthia =========================== Subj: Re: Turner Family Date: 97-07-24 12:22:56 EDT From: MAStalling To: JT398 CC: NCreed1 The Stallings side of our family has a geneology book that sounds like the Turner book. No index or any consequence and the devil of a time figuring it out! I have over 2,200 names input so far and it's a slow go! I'd love to get my hands on the Turner book, but I need more info. I have David Alexander Turner's death certificate that lists his parents and the county, McCuen, in TN where they came from, but McCuen no longer exists. I wonder where I could get old county maps of TN??? I've run into the same problem with other family trees. The town names change or they just die. It's frustrating, but fun, like a puzzle. My husband thinks I'm insane! It's too coincidental having Turners in TN in 1895, and one with a son called "Dave". They were probably cousins or brothers or whatever. I'd appreciate anything you could send. The Turners probably came in through Collin Co., like so many settlers did in the middle and late 1800's. It was the east door. A lot of folks migrated southwards as it was much more settled than our Denton County area which is north of Ft. Worth and Dallas. The Indians were still raiding here up to 1868 and it was pretty rough and ragged. Harlingen is 1189 miles from Nashville. Quite a trek. In the book, History and Reminiscences of Denton County, several Turners are mentioned. On April 11th, 1846, the First Legislature of the State of Texas was held and Joseph Turner was appointed a commissioner to find a townsite for Pinkneyville which would thereafter be the county seat and hold elections. Joseph was additionally appointed Chief Justice at this time and was listed on the rolls in 1846 as the County Judge in this document in the book. Joseph T. Turner signed and witnessed a document in 1848, stating that a William H. Dickson was elected to his office of Chief Justice of Denton County, Texas on Aug 7, 1848. Joseph Turner had evidently held the post prior to Dickson's election. The community of Pilot Point, just north of us, was started in 1856. The books calls the roll of the community, but neglects to say the date, but it is obviously after that date and probably fairly close to the date. Mentioned are Dave Turner (Your Dave???), Cobb Turner, Campbell Turner, William Turner. Any connecton with your Dave? Brothers, Uncles, Cousins? Most of them moved in family groups of some sort. The next mention of a Turner in the book is in the 1861 after the war, listing the veterans of the County, J.P. Turner among those names and Mr. A.D.Turner as a daughter of the confederacy. After the war, a citizen of the County corresponded regularly with a friend in Arkansas and mentioned the Turners again.... "August 29, 1869 Your letter received and I was very glad to know that you are all well except your father is chilling. Well that is nice pastime. A young man was the raiser of quite a disturbance in our city the first Saturday in the month. He wanted to get license to marry and could not get his daddy's consent nor the consent of his girl's mammy, hence the disturbance. He lives out in the country somewhere. J.M.McNeil and Company are getting in a large stock of goods. Dave Turner, the Pilot Point merchant, is bragging about his peaches. I hear that yellow fever has broken out in New Orleans on July 21. I saw the thermometer last Monday sitting in the sun that registered 115. Thomas Jenkins, the mail carrier, tells me that on August 20, a week ago Friday, thirty Indians rode up close to Jacksboro and began to gather horses. They rode through the streets of the town at full speed whooping, shooting and killing yearlings. Teh people were aroused from their slumbers and hastily formed a company and rode out to meet the savages. They met them at the edge of the town, riding like devils incarnate. The whites poured a volley into their midst and several fell off of their horses, but one could not be found after the skirmish was over. The Indians fired eighteen or twenty shots, but no one was injured ." The book is incredible. You might want to copy this and put it on the newsletter. I'm not sure of how to do that yet! Any help is appreciated. Maybe someone will recognize a name.
