Nyla CREED DePauk San Diego CA ======================= Subj: Foley family Date: 98-01-10 09:11:39 EST From: HarrisSEM To: NCreed1 Would anybody happen to have any information on the following Foleys? P. Mary Foley b. abt 1825-1833 in VA. Died after 1880 in Patrick Co., Va. She married Samuel Sneed Jr. I noticed in the 1850 Pat. Co. census that Samuel and Mary were family 95, and that Samuel's father, Samuel Sr, was family 103, and then there is a James Foley Sr., and wife Judith who are family 104. Would anybody know if they would be Mary's parents and have more information about them? Also would Salley Foley, who married John T. Sneed ,son of Samuel Sneed Sr., be P. Mary Foley's sister? Thanks a lot for any help! Sherry ======================= Subj: Re: Comp #325 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 98-01-10 10:46:01 EST From: CarBurCo To: NCreed1 This is just one of those wild-hair questions, but here goes: In the TURNER family: does anyone know of two brothers named BOSWELL TURNER and ABNER TURNER who lived in Green County, Georgia? They would have been born in the 1770's or so and they married sisters whose last name was LOVE, daughters of COL. DAVID LOVE (1740 Anson Co. NC-1798 Greensboro, Ga) and his wife JEAN BLEWETT. Please let me know if anyone has them. Caroline Burnett Cook ==================== Folks: The following message was forwarded to me. Anyone recognize RANSOM TURNER? Nyla Forwarded Message: Subj: RANSOM TURNER Date: 98-01-10 15:41:02 EST From: turn044@ibm.net (Jim Turner) Sender: va-roots@vlinsvr.vsla.edu Reply-to: turn044@ibm.net To: va-roots@vlinsvr.vsla.edu (Multiple recipients of list) We're seeking info on our ancestor RANSOM TURNER, supposedly born in Isle of Wight circa 1774. Possibly migrated to TN, or maybe that was one of his sons, also RANSOM. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated. ==================== Subj: Re: Comp #325 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 98-01-10 19:54:56 EST From: Yoricat To: NCreed1 Nyla, I imagine it was me that talked about Caroline County and Richard Turner. I sent copies to those who sent emails asking me personally to send copies. I will be glad to send copies to those who desire copies. I sent both a copy of the 1704 King & Queen tax list and copies from the Caroline County Order Book. I will also send dates for those who wish to do their own research.

I signed up for the rootsweb page and I have been slowly going through the Turner archive pages. But I'm confused if this info, like David's major listing of Turners in on the rootsweb letter, or is sent to you. If I want to add something, should I send it to you, or the rootsweb letter?? I appreciate your help. And if not rootsweb, how do I start getting on the mailing list? Thanks. [Larry: I've added you to our mailing list. Thanks for the additional info on Ruth TURNER Hurt.

Larry Thomas Stanton, MO ====================== Subj: Retirement??? Date: 98-01-11 20:29:07 EST From: VA TRAPPER Hi All, This was sent to me by my husband's uncle. Hope everyone enjoys it! Cindy After a Christmas break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidays. One small boy wrote the following: We always used to spend Christmas with grandpa and grandma. They used to live here in a big brick home, but grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people. They all live in little tin boxes. They ride on big three-wheeled tricycles and they all wear name tags because they don't know who they are. They go to a big building called a wrecked hall, but if it was wrecked, they got it fixed, because it's alright now. They play games and do exercises there, but they don't do them very good. There is a swimming pool there. They go into it and just stand there with their hats on. I guess they don't how to swim. As you go into their park, there is a little doll house with a little man sitting in it. He watches all day so they can't get out without him seeing them. When they sneak out they go to the beach and pick up shells.My grandma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how. Nobody cooks, they just eat out. They eat the same thing every night-early birds. Some of the people are so retarded that they don't know how to cook at all, so my grandma and grandpa bring food into the wrecked hall and they call it "Pot Luck". My grandma says that grandpa worked hard all his life and earned his retardment. I wish they would move back up here, but I guess the little man in the doll house won't let them out. ============ Thanks, Cindy. ============= The end of this compilation.
