Do I go into Web Crawler or Gopher or what? Do I put in that whole http: etc. and after cgaunt/ do I put etc or what do I put? I'm not very familiar with the Internet as you can tell. Yes I would like to be on mailing list, but I am only on AOL till the 27th, then Prodigy, at LNEM41A, Shirley Warren. Also, do you know Pete Philpott on AOL?

Shirley ========================================================= Subj: Turner family newsletter Date: 96-03-25 16:36:42 EST From: Pat-Chesney@easy.com (Pat Chesney) To: NCreed@aol.com Hi, Nyla, I got a copy in the mail from John Turner of a chapter out of his book - A history of the Turner Family by William Roskey and out of it I gleaned the family tree of James Turner - who is supposed to be related to my William S. Turner either as a cousin or as the grandfather. I believe ' cousin' to be the more possible because of the dates but I only know date wise that my William had a wife named Elizabeth Smith and had a son Calvin b. in 1826 in Tenn. I have found a William S. Turner mar to an Elizabeth Smith in Sumner Co. Tenn in 1813 and think that it is possibly my William but have no proof yet. My William came to Tex in 1840 with four sons William, Calvin, Hardin and John Turner and had two daughters Mary and Lucinda. Mary married Asa Sowell and her son Andrew Jackson Sowell wrote books about early Tex history. In one book he mentions his mother Mary said they were related to this James Turner the govern of NC and also to a Calvin Smith, a Goodlow Smith and a Jack E. Turner of Nashville Tenn. Besides the fact that William was in the battles of Talladega, Tallahasse, Horseshoe Bend and New Orleans and served under Gen Jackson that is all I know at point of his history before he came to Tex. He lived in Tex up until at least the civil war as he helped guard the home front with other older men - he could have been in his 70's by then. If anyone is working on any of these Turner families or wants me to look for a Turner in the material I have on the Mass line of Turners I will help as I can. There is not an index. If you have an unusual Turner name that helps. They are listed by number and you have to look back to find the earlier generations by number. This is my arrangement of the family line.

Maybe because he was an important person he was put at the head of the family line. His br that was a Capt in the army would have been born at least ten yrs earlier then James. My William was born about the time James started having children. William probably served in the war with some of James children. He could have been cousins with them and shared the same grandfather - Thomas Turner mar to Mary Bryant. So if anyone is researching that family I'd like to know the children of the six brothers to see if there is a William S. Turner among them. Appreciate any help on these Turner lines. P.S. also in an earlier letter John Turner sent me this - but in recent stuff he sent he didn't copy the pages this was on. I didn't find a William Suddarth Turner mentioned in the 40 pages he sent me. Can anyone make a connection for me between this following info on William Suddarth Turner and the James Turner family information? I found another William, This is William Suddarth Turner married Elizabeth P. Smith and moved to Texas His father was John Turner Born in Virginia and died prior to 1820 and John father was Terisha Turner born 1705 probably England settled in Amherst County, Virginia and married Sarah Wimpy. Thanks, Terri Chesney =================================================== Subj: COMPILATION #8 - LAST FE Date: 96-03-25 22:26:04 EST From: 72650.74@compuserve.com (Philip A. Turner) To: NCreed@aol.com Hello, I want to add a comment to what Terri Chesney said in the last batch of messages. Terri said that she traces her ancestry to a Turner who came over on the Mayflower. Although it is true that there were people named Turner on the Mayflower, they all died during the winter of 1620-21. They produced no descendants. Terri mentions that there was a later Mayflower voyage that brought some Turners to the Plymouth Colony, but this is not THE Mayflower landing. I do have an ancestor who arrived on THE Mayflower, the landing in 1620. He was not a Turner though. I hope that I have clarified this confusing issue. In short: YES there were Turners on the Mayflower; NONE of them survived or produced descendants; BUT you can still have ancestors who came on the Mayflower even though your name is Turner.
