Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 21:00:39 -0500 (EST) From: ncreed Subject: Compilation #78 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc 4 Dec 1996 Dear Cousins, Was looking at one of the Roots-L digests that arrived today. Someone was asking about half-cousins. Never thought about half-cousins before. I just pick and choose my cousins. If I choose to be related, I say, "This is my cousin." If I prefer not to be related, I just say, "Oh, they're from that other bunch of Turners and Burnetts." ;) I've received a lot of mail over the past few weeks. I apologize for not answering each one personally. I trust you understand. Please keep sending me your information so we can continue sharing information on our families. Just want to caution everyone again that it is important to verify information you find in these compilations. It is so easy to make a typo or incorrectly place an individual with the wrong family. Some of our ancestors weren't very original when it came to naming their children. It is not unusual to find several individuals with the same name in the same community. So, check and recheck the information you find here. I have said this before, but will repeat it. I am not an expert on any of these families. My role has been to compile the eMails and send them to everyone on the list. I have made no attempt to verify the accuracy of any of the information unless it pertained to my own family lines. Thank yous are extended to everyone who has already sent information on their family. A special thanks to Chris Gaunt for making all our compilations available. If you're missing a compilation, it can be found on: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt There's 21 days left 'til Christmas, but it came early to Bette Smith. See her comments below. An apology is extended to everyone whose mailbox was put in overload as a result of all the compilations. I'll try not to make them so large in the future. Have a joyous holiday season.

I don't have much on my surname of Turner. However, here it goes. My ggGrandfather was James H Turner born about 1870. I beleve he was born in Crawford Co. Indiana. He married Amelia Stroud. They had one son, Clyde William Turner. James died sometime in 1894 at the age of 24 of TB. My aunt tells me he was buried in Old Marango Cemetery in Marango Indiana, with out a head stone. I have been unable to confirm this in the church records. James father, my ggg Grandfather, was James Hardin Turner. I beleve he was born in Crawford Co. Indiana also. He was the sheriff of Crawford Co. Indiana from 1860 to 1864. I have been unable to locate a date of birth or who he married. However James Hardin Turner had Three sons. James H, John and Jess. Living in Omaha Ne has really slowed my ability to research as much as I would like. If any one has any information regaring the above please email me. I will be happy to furnish any information I may have. Well Thanks again. Hope everyone enjoys the holidays Ron T =================================================== To: ncreed@pop.erols.com Date: Tue, 3 Dec 1996 21:10:43 PST Subject: Burnett X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 4-5 From: scburn2@juno.com (Sharon E Crawford) Just wanted to say that Kevin's compilations were too much for my e-mail program and thought I would have to wait to read them, but figured out although I couldn't see them, they would still print . Love watching all those BURNETTS printing out. THANKS Kevin for sharing all your work.

I feel like I have an excellent map and information to share with relatives. I also want to say thanks to all the people who were perhaps inconvenienced by so much information. Just know that this really made my day -- I feel like Christmas came early. Bette ============================================= From: "Kevin K. Stephenson" To: "'ncreed'" Subject: RE: James Burnett Line Date: Wed, 4 Dec 1996 01:16:43 -0600 Nyla: Kevin, Wow! It's obvious you were working days and nights to get everything in Family Tree Maker. I use that, also. But you guys have kept me so busy that I haven't progressed beyond "cutting & pasting" eMails. I feel like you and David are part of a conspiracy to bring Nyla to her knees. Kevin: No conspiracy, 'cause David and I are acting independently!! Sorry you've been worked so hard on this stuff. I enjoy it, but it got pretty old when I was into the third day! I'm just glad I found what I did, and I wanted to share it with the folks who helped me find it. I'd like to buy the Bork Books, the BBB book, and the one that covers Pryor's kin in Indiana...do 'ya s'pose someone has some out there they might be finished with? As a student, I've usually got too much month left at the end of the money, so if I could 'relieve' someone of some copies they don't want, or even just borrow them for awhile, I'd love it!!! Nyla: Don't be discouraged by us old folks who have handicapped computers. Just as soon as I get rich I'm going to upgrade again. Kevin: I know what 'ya mean about having to be rich to upgrade a computer. I used.....money in January to buy mine, and I ate a lot of macaroni and cheese..........Since then I've put 32 mb of RAM, and a second hard-drive in, to support picture files made with a flatbed scanner. I've got scores of family pics on both sides, a lot of Burnett stuff, but would love to borrow more from anyone who has any on the relatives we just uncovered. I can scan 'em in and send people jpeg or tif or gif files of the pictures. anybody??? Don't bust too hard on yourself for being 'old'. I'm a student, but I'll be 41 on the 19th..........I'm in grad school now working on an MBA and a law degree...glutton for punishment, I guess. Did 'ya notice how many lawyers and legislators were in James Burnett's family line?? I'm gonna go into public service when I get finished with school, so maybe I'll turn up in Congress someday. Nyla: I hope you didn't mind that I just forwarded your eMails rather than cut and paste to another document. I had no problems with your second try. Kevin: I didn't mind that, but the format may have been confusing to some folks, because the straight e-mail format took the generation number superscripts and kinda mushed 'em in with the names. If someone has trouble with it, I can send you the FTW file to work with directly, or send it to them. The one thing I don't like about FTW is that you can't sort the children by order of birth in the whole tree. Ya gotta do it one family at a time, and I missed one family when I sent you the file. Minor, I guess, but I'm kind of a perfectionist. I'm still hoping that some of the folks out there who are related to this line of Burnett's will get in touch with me and help me fill in the missing info. There are a lot of dates and details missing even from what we do have. I'm going to get in touch with the County Clerk in Henry County, VA, and ask about James Burnett's will, and if they have anything on George or Thomas Burnet_. I've also got to get ahold of the book on this line that was printed in Scotland, to go back further, or at least cement together what we've got. I still think John Sr. and George are related somehow...too coincidental that they all ended up in the same area at about the same time!! Sorry to be so long winded, just glad we accomplished so much, and I want to keep goin'!!!!

I've not downloaded or read all these fabulous compilations, but decided I might as well join in the fun! Here's what I've got: My gggrandmother Nancy TURNER m. Jonathan Rogers. She was born c. 1818 in Kentucky; he c. 1814 in Tennessee. Their children were Charles, Sally, Marley, Rebecca, Jackson, Jonathan, and William. My line is through Jonathan. Now, what about Nancy? She seems to be the daughter of Charles C. TURNER b 1784 North Carolina, m. Rebecca __________, d. 22 Jan 1851 Crawford County, Illinois. His other children were Thomas C., Louisa, Polly, Patzey (Martha Perline), Sarah Malinda, Charlotte, John, and Jesse Mitchel (this according to will estate papers book F p. 199, Crawford County Courthouse, Robinson, IL). Does anyone have: a. Parents, etc., for Charles C. Turner b. 1784 b. Any info on Rebecca, like possibly her maiden name? I do have a Rebecca Turner who died late 1800's in Lawrence County, IL (I think, I can't find that paper right now), but whose grave I could not locate. Thanks! I'll submit my Barnett/Burnett tomorrow!

Eleven months ago I purchased a Power MacIntosh. On the PC I used PAF from the Mormon Organization in Salt Lake City. Now I want to purchased a program to record family data for my Mac. Do you have any suggestions as to what might be best? Thanks for all the great work you do with these "Compilations".
