Apparently there was two John Turners and two Nancy Brunet's. One John Turner and Nancy Brunet got married in 1804 in Patrick County, Virginia, had a family there and died there. The John Turner and Nancy Brunet I am interested in were married in (per oral history) Patrick County, Virginia, had four children there (the marriage certificates of these four children state they were born there), moved to Floyd County, Kentucky and had five more children. John and Nancy's first child was Adam Turner born about 1815 in Patrick County, Virginia. I know from court documents that Nancy's father was William Brunet. Nancy had a sister named Elizabeth who married John Toggle. Their other children are: Elizabeth, Judith, Greenville, Morgan, William, John Burke, Israel and Alexander. Any information you might be able to provide on this family would be appreciated. ========================================================== Eunice, June... please look over my shoulder on this one! Jim, this from the notes of David... (How reliable, well I add his as addenum to the KJV) "There remains confusion as to the children of Rev.John Turner and his first cousin, John Turner,Jr - son of John M.Turner and Elizabeth "Betsy" Price. ~~~ Other researchers in Patrick and Henry Counties~ many believe that Ruth Turner, and Elizabeth Jane Turner belong to the to the family of John Turner, Jr." I think you may indirectly be caught up in this scenario...plus wrinkle anew that you add. Now, certainly I can be wrong in this first "rush to judgement", however you've been waiting to long for a return to yours, so thought it best to at least let you know I hadn't trash your request. You might send a couple generations of data to June, that have reference to the Burnett data. Now she's a busy gal so don't expect a speedy reply, but were Burnetts are concerned there just ain't no better. I'm still looking at this, so hope to have more later. _Mitosis_ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 09:22:24 EDT From: Yoricat@aol.com To: BTRVETC-L@genealogy.org Subject: Re: BTRVETC-L Digest V98 #62 Message-ID: <492b04d1.3607a490@aol.com> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit I have tried to read MIME message.

Not sure, but believe most of this may have been June's efforts, and what little I could add. Still suggest you send what available to jbbork@ix.netcom.com. Suggest you forward at least 2 generations, more it you like, for her review. Feel sure she can tidy up any I've missed. Checking my first scenario (which was in error) lead to information that's way down at the bottom! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Spencer wrote...

Each pixel in an image file takes a certain number of bytes for all the information on what color and shade it needs to be. The more pixels, the more information needs to be stored, and the file size jumps exponentially. You can, on certain models, set the scanner for "grayscale" and save a lot of room as well. The highest savings, for documents, comes when you set the scanner for "line art", which is the setting used for OCR (optical character recognition). These files are normally very small, and e-mail easily. The last option is to actually use OCR, to capture the text, and import it into a document. You don't have the original formatting or appearance, but you use almost no room for transmitting the information, if that's what you're interested in. I would be more than happy to explain any of these things further, should anyone need "extra" help. Kevin Stephenson Kevin K.

When I last reviewed these dudes the software required to drive these things created files to large to transmit via email, even when zipped. Most ISP's have 1meg to 1.5meg limit on message size.

If so, then I will forward last three digest, hopeful that will catch you up with things. What OS are you operating Windows 3.1, Windows 95 or 98. Also if you're using one of the Windows system are you using native email program. If email program is other, such as "Eudora" etc, I will need that information also.

Or on the tax list? Both are available. You might try 1830 Adair Co, Ky census. I have a record that says "Greenville Turner was born in Adair co in 1829, the son of John Turner and FRANCES BURNETT. Greenville married Sally Martin, b. 1837 and they had a son named John Henry Turner, b. 1856 who married Rhoda Gerhart/Gearhart, b. 1860 and lived in Floyd Co, Ky." All the census records need to be consulted. I don't have the 1840 Floyd Co census but it looks like the Burnetts there are on page 253: William Burnett; Adam Burnett; Francis Burnett; John B. Burnett. It is just a wild guess that your John Turner took off for Texas about 1847-8 and may have gone to the gold fields in California. The 1850 Census of both Texas and Calif. needs to be checked. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Sep 1998 04:00:37 -0400 From: "Mitosis" To: "June" Cc: "Btrvetc List" Subject: 2 Johns Message-ID: <008201bde6c8$43222200$10358acd@mitosis> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit JOHN TURNER married NANCY "Fannie" BURNETT, born about 1790 VA and died in Floyd Co, KENTUCKY after 1850. ------------------- Therefore... it should read: NANCY FRANCIS "Fannie" BURNETT... ?

Certainly nothing that I would be willing at this point to offer as possible scenario. Believe the list of pubs that Eunice gave us at Patrick may contain the census June suggested. Anyways, will advise you any I find. When this "Family Sharing Hour" began, I promised to answer all, even if the answer was to be "I dunno". While I do not regret this effort... One can insert big "foot" in one's mouth and I have yet in my mailbox to answer. Would hope that sometime in the near future we can have another such effort, and that I shall be able sit on the side. May I applauded the efforts of the "SourDoughs", without their help this would have been for naught. Thanks to Chris for being there at just the "right time". Something special for Eunice and June. This two gals have other venues to chase, and can't thank them enough for laying theirs aside to help us in our effort.

Guess I'll have to take blame for the "Family Sharing Hour" tag, but in my defense... my email program "demands" a subject, so I just stuck same therein.

Eunice, June, Carole (Ole SourDough... oops "Young SourDough") ... new names of which I was not firmilar, just a lot of people trying to help each other, Don, Nell, Anita, Flix, Jim etc. I believe many got answers they sought, some I regret, did not... but rest assured effort was applied to get them an answer. Some of the Turner families I saw posting were "William Turner, Maryland Clan", "Humphrey Turners", "Ga. Turners", many from NC, SC. and Ky. Couple from Ct, Mass.,Utah, Ca., and others. I understand the "Clown" just wasn't prepareded for the volume of mail that hit the site, and had to send out an SOS into the13th hour. Seems he fell asleep at the computer with mailbox still full. Guess I'll have to take blame for the "Family Sharing Hour" tag, but in my defense... my email program "demands" a subject, so I just stuck same therein. Might check with Eunice and June... maybe they can identify this "Clown", all I can say, it was easy to tell his "elevator" wasn't going to the top floor !!!!! I dunno... I was just watching. _Mitosis_ -----Original Message----- From: NCreed1@aol.com To: BTRVETC-L@genealogy.org Date: Thursday, September 24, 1998 10:41 PM Subject: What is "Family Sharing Hour"? >In a message dated 9/23/98 8:46:10 PM Pacific Daylight Time, >mitosis@preferred.com writes: ><< When this "Family Sharing Hour" began, I promised to answer all, even if the answer was to be "I dunno".~~~ >When did the "Family Sharing Hour" begin?

Maybe it was while I was on vacation. I thought I read all the messages, but it's obvious now that I didn't. That must have been a very long 24 hours for you. Sure it wasn't more like 24 days? Sometimes, the questions come in faster than we can respond. But you did good. Nyla -------------------------------- End of btrvetc-d Digest V98 Issue #63 *************************************
