I've heard that several people have had trouble with the "self- executing" files I put up there a couple of weeks ago, so I'm planning on changing them back to the zipped files that you download and then use a zip utility on to open. Chris Gaunt has the entire set on her website, and has a search engine there for you to use to hunt for specific names. I am working on getting ahold of a small program that will search multiple text files, and I will make this available on my site later on if I can. -----Original Message----- From: Hugh and Sandy Sellers [SMTP:hubie19@pop1.rcsntx.swbell.net] Sent: Monday, December 15, 1997 12:33 PM To: kevin2@falcon.cc.ukans.edu Subject: COMPILATIONS Kevin, What a fine job you have done compiling the messages to the TURNER, etc mailing list....questions: 1) Are the various files indexed anywhere? 2) Can one "get" files individually, in other words I have downloaded through the comp150 and when the site is updated, can I get the newer files? I cannot subscribe to lists as my EMAIL address changes with each transmittal of messages so that automatic processors do not recognize the registration. The RUDDs in my GATEWOOD file start with William of Shorpshire, Eng and are LDS people, if you are interested.

Figured you could take off the many addresses and put this in the next compilation. :-) Chris ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 16 Dec 1997 17:50:57 -0800 From: DeCody Brad Marble Subject: Please forward the following query to the Turner Group. Subject: Turner Genealogy Date: Mon, 15 Dec 1997 09:01:55 -0500 From: Linda Jones To: MarbleDB@interoz.com Please forward the following query to the Turner Group. I am interested in recreating family grouping of the Turner slaves. My gggg-grandmother Jemima "Mima" Turner Jones was given to Allen S. Turner, son of Shadrach Turner upon his decease in Lincoln County Georgia, 31 December 1844. Although the minutes of the inferior court listed some family groupings, Mima was listed alone. Mima remained on the "Durrette Plantation" where Allen S. Turner was the overseer, and Dr. Joel L. Turner was the Owner of the plantation in Hart County Ga. I have reviewed guardianship records whereas Mima was hired out to other plantations, but unable to locate family listing. Jemima Turner born ca 1830's, census record stated born in Georgia, but dau d.c. listed S.C. as place of her mo's birthplace. Eldest child was named Diana Jones, and one daughter named Savanah married Rev. Alfred Waller. There are other children listed in the 1870 census, Betsy, Daniel, Laura, Clarisy. Please share with me any info you have on Turner slaves whether they are listed above or not. Thank you.

I looked at my records and what I have on Shadrack Truern is not a will, but in fact records from the INferior Court, Lincoln County Ga. It is as follows: George Lincoln County By virture of an order from the Honorable the Inferior Court of said county when sitting for orgindary purposes on the first Monday in November last to us as indication another ?? and requiring us to make distribution of the Negroes belonging to the estate of Shadraack Turner late of said county deceased among distributes of said estate, we proceeded on this day to the performance of that duty, we ascertained that there were six distributions to wit: Mary Turner widow and relict of said Shadrack Turner deceased, William H Turner son of said Shadrach Turner deceased of full age, Martha H.

It is useless to me, but may be useful to someone else. Inferior Court to Dr. J. L. Turner. Georgia; Hart Couny} Persuant to the Statute of AD 1854 after public notice made in the Southern Banner (Athens Ga) & other papers of public print on the sixth date of July Eighteen Hundred & Fifty-four. H.L. Chandler Jos V Richardson Micajah Carter & Clayton Webb Justises of the Inferior Court of said count at the county site of said county did put up and expose to sale Town Lots No. 10 in the town of Hartwell County site of said county containing 1.4 of an acre more or less when Dr. JL Turner being the highest bidder said Town Lot was knocked off to him at & for the price of Seventy Dollars now therefore this indenture made and entered into this 5 Day of December Eighthundred & fifty four between the Said Justises of the Inferior Court of said county & their Successors in office for & in bhalf of said county of the one part and Dr. JL Turner of the other part witnesseth that for & in consideration of the sum of Seventy Dollars in hand paid at and before the sealing of these presents the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged the said Justises of the Inferior Court aforesaid hath & oath by these presents grant bargain sell & convey unto the said Dr. JL Turner all that town lot situated lying & being in the town of Hartwell County site of said county known in the plan of said town lots by No 10 containing 1/4 of an acre more less with all the right rights members & opportenances to said town Lot in anywise appertaining or belonging to have and to hold & to take hold the said town Lot unto him the said Dr J L Turner his heirs Executors & Administrators & assigns forever in feesimple & the said Justices of the Inferior Court as aforesaid & there successors in office the right & title of said Town Lot will forever warrant & defend against themselves & against all other persons whatsoever sofar as the office of Justices of the Inferior Court authorizes them in testimony whereof the said Justises of the Inferior Court as aforesaid hath hereunto set there hands & affixed there seals the day and year first above written. Signed sealed in presents of Saml White } C S Webb IJC (LS) H F Chandler } Ja V Richardson IJC (LS) F C Stephenson CIC} H F Chandler JIC (LS) I proofread the above, and the mispellings and language are as to close to the interpretation of the document I can give you. When you search in your documents on Joel & Allen Turner, see if you can get a listing of slaves brought into their marriages with the Jones' girls. I am curious why if Jemima was originally owned by Shadrach Turner, how we obtained the surname Jones. I hate to assume that the father of her children went by the surname without any proof. In 1872 she married Crockett Patterson, and again some of her children changed their names. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Also I will be away from office from Christmas until after the New Year. Linda Jonnes jonesl@ccisd3.ccf.org ======================== The end of this compilation.
