More wonderful eMails. Hope everyone has the best New Year. All our compilations can be found: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt Nyla ================================= Subj: Re: Turner Date: 97-12-29 07:27:16 EST From: BSpadea102 To: NCreed1 Hello Nyla, I am new to your list. I am sending you some brief info on my Turner family. I cannot find any others who are interested in this NJ line of Turners - most seem to come from Southern states. My Turners I have found through a professional researcher are from Gloucester County NJ and have been established back to a marriage in 1738 of a Robert TURNER and Abigail BOURNE. It is believed that Robert was descended from a Robert TURNER that came to the colonies in Nov 1675 on the ship the "Griffen" with John FENWICK. This group began the settlement of Salem, NJ the first permanent English speaking settlement on the Delaware River. We do not have proof yet of this relationship, but the researcher is working on it. Our line from Robert & Abigail TURNER follows: Meriall TURNER, b. April 22, 1753, d. 1826 m. Hannah Boqua Meriall TURNER, b. abt 1778 m. Sarah (?) Robert TURNER, b. abt 1814 m. Amy CLARK Lewis C. TURNER, b. abt 1840, m. Rachel BARCLAY Samuel E. TURNER, b. Aug. 30, 1878, d. 1918, m. Margaret McNAMARA Lewis Samuel TURNER, b.Dec.9, 1910, d.1980, m. Hazel SNEADE (my parents) Barbara May TURNER, b. 1934 Meriall purchased a "Stone house" from the Uncle of Daniel BOONE, in NJ in which 4 generations of the TURNER family lived. The house is now a historical site run by the Washington Township Historical Society. Would love to hear from anyone with connections or info about this family. I also have information on lines from other children of Abigail & Robt.

These pages include the Rabinovitch (Rabinovic) names in which we have a special interest. I wonder if someone can help translate the following information which heads up the 3 columns on these 6 pages: Pavarde ir vardas Asmenu sk. Eskelimo adresas Apgyvendinimo adresas (surnames? given names?) If you send me the surnames of people subscribing to this list I can then post the names I have which match the subscribers on this list. Beth in FL ======================= Beth: My mailing list is by screen name only. I don't keep a subscriber surname list. If you want to send me the entire list, I'll be glad to post it in one of our compilations. No doubt there are folks who would love to check that list.

TURNER) To: NCreed1@aol.com Nyla, With your formula of 2 children per family, the human race would have become extinct in the Garden of Eden ( and we'd have no genealogies to explore! ) Regards, Charles Turner ====================== Charles, Then maybe I could have a real life. Do you ever count the hours you spend on genealogy? If you're addicted as much as I am, work and everything else really interferes with the time I'd like to be spending on genealogy. I have two full-time jobs. One is a real job that supports my unpaid genealogy habit. Both are 40 hour a week jobs. So how many children do you have? I'm curious how many other folks will comment on the number of children I mentioned.

We have a wonderful family "security blanket" as we age, too. Thank you for your skilled dedication. I'm "collecting" descendants of the first Turner immigrant, Humphrey Turner of Scituate,MA and find one of his descendants in your list now and then.

The list was on http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt/etc Thanks Hank Ingram McLeansville, NC http://www.nr.infi.net/~hingram ======================== Hank: Welcome.

ANY THOUGHTS OR OPINIONS ON THIS? >> To me there is no doubt that the daughter Sarah mentioned in the will was actually his daughter-in-law, the wife of deceased son William. The old documents seem to use some of the words for relatives differently than we use them today. If she had been a blood daughter, he would not have given the property only while she remained a widow. Sarah probably remarried and as we do not know to whom, we don't know what happened to her.

I have seen it referred to as Burnett in a couple of family sketches but none of the authors have listed a source, many times just saying "the traditional Sarah Burnett" ..whatever that means....stories handed down maybe? I'm with Edna...if anyone has ANY documentation for the name Burnett please share it with us.

I have a strong connection to Burnetts. Kaney Via was married to Mary Francis Turner, so she is a Turner connection! I am wondering if Kaney might be a nickname. We could not go any further with our ancestor Shadrack Sowder until I found him in a census, because the family always knew him as Shady.
