It is the record of Union Church in Patrick Co, and contains the names of many people who are being researched in the Turner-Ross-Via-etc group. This is typed exactly as I received it. Sherry " History of Union Church In Patrick County Virginia In Smith River Association In one place I find Union Church organized 1815. The first record begins as follows: Saturday, November 17, 1821.

Martha Jane is my gggrandmother. John Greenville Turner's grandfather was Adam Turner (6 Feb 1762 - CA 1836) m. (CA 1789) Mary Pilson (11 Feb 1766 - CA 1835). John Green Turner is my gggrandfather. Ann ======================= Subj: Re: Comp 158, Adam Turner Bible Date: 97-09-21 15:58:57 EDT From: anhughes@palmnet.net (Ann N. Hughes) To: ncreed1@aol.com (Nyla Creed DePauk) Nyla, In reference to J. Bork's submission on the Adam Turner Bible, I would like to resubmit the names taken directly from the Bible. As you can see, there is no Martha Turner listed as a child of Adam and Mary. Summary of Information from Adam Turner Bible, September 21, 1997 Adam Turner 6 February 1762 Father Mary Pilson 11 February 1766 Mother Their eleven children: 1. Elizabeth (Betsy) Turner 24 November 1789 Daughter [Batsey] 2. John Turner 1 July 1791 Son 3. Polly Turner 22 May 1793 Daughter[Pollay] 4. Francis Turner (Jr.) 4 January 1795 Son 5. Easter Turner 26 November 1797 Daughter 6. Sally Turner 28 January 1799 Daughter[Sallay] 7. Matthew Turner 22 of May 1801 Son 8. Adam Turner (Jr.) 27 of April 1803 Son 9. Jane (or Jan) Turner 22 March 1805 Daughter [Ganay] 10. Dick Turner 18 of January 1807 Son [Diack] 11. Nancy Turner 1 November 1809 Daughter[Nancay] Other children listed: Peggy Turner 23 January 1790 [Paggia] Patsy Turner 29 September 1822 [Patseay] Polly Turner 22 May 1827 [Polley] Polly is the daughter of Francis Turner, Jr. William Green Turner ? April 18_5 [Wm] Wm is listed between 1822 and 1832 in the Bible, assume his birth year is 1825. Judy Turner 4 April 1832 [Judey] Judy is probably the daughter of Adam Turner, Jr. The Martha "Patsy" Turner people continue to list in place of Matthew Turner on 22 May 1801 may be the Patsy Turner listed above born on 29 September 1822. The Bible does not indicate who her parents were; however, her listing in the Bible with other grandchildren probably indicates she was a grandchild or at the very least a close relative. The eleven children of Adam and Mary listed above from the photographs of the Bible pages is identical to the list my Aunt Myrtle Turner Wood gave to people when they wanted the Bible information. I have an original copy of her list and Martha Turner is not listed as a child of Adam and Mary. The Adam Turner Bible still exists and is in the possession of my cousin. My initial posting of the names from the Bible can be found in Compilation #70. I talk with O. E. Pilson from time to time and as of earlier this year he has still not found any connection between the Shadrack and Francis Turner families. I have copies of letters James Dana Turner wrote to James H. Turner [author of Cathell-Rangelely Turner] in which James Dana suggests there were three separate Turner families. One being Shadrack Turner family, one being Francis Turner family, and another. I don't have the third at my fingertips at the moment, but if anyone is interested, I can look it up. Our family continues to believe they were only two separate families; Shadrack and Francis. I am descended from both of these families, in fact, I am descended from two of Shadrack's son's--John and Jeremiah! Ann =================== Subj: Re: History of Union Church, Patrick Co, VA Date: 97-09-21 17:18:31 EDT From: HarrisSEM Hi! Hope you had a nice weekend! This history just goes to show how intertwined these families were. My husbands relatives who are listed there include James and Alexander Ingram and their wives, Wlliam Turner and Jane Turner, John Turner, Joshua Adams, and George W. Lackey! Out of all the lists and stuff that I subscribe to this one is the best one! Sherry ==================== Sherry, Thanks for the kind words. The reason this is the best is because of folks like you who are willing to share their information. It also helps knowing that people actually read the compilations. Nyla ====================== The end of this compilation.
