Another Georgian trying to fit in....
Permalink  
 

Hello to all. As a member of the Turner family in Henry County, Georgia (the city of McDonough & Hampton), I have been commissioned to design a website (http://myturnerfamily.org)  for benefit of local Turners....Here's brief outline of the beginnings as has been submitted to me. Any errors or follow-ups will be appreciated. I'll add the start of the tree to the site in a more interactive manner soon:

Note: I’ve added a number to each name so as to keep from confusing same names . For example the first William is William (1) and his son(s) are William (2) or William (3), etc.

William Turner (1), a minister of the Kirk of Scotland, was born in Aberdeen shire, Scotland in 1645. He married Mary McLemore (1), born in the same shire in 1650 and married in 1670. On account of persecution of the Convenanters, fled with his young bride and settled in the North of Ireland. Persecution followed him and his co-believers there and with quite a colony, he came to Maryland (US) in 1680 and settled in Worchester County, Maryland in 1680.

It is believed that so far, the above information is correct. The following has not been proven yet:

Children of William Turner (1) and Mary McLemore (1)…

William (2)

1671

Elisha (1)

1672

Mary (1)

1674

Ebenezer (1)

1675

John (1)

1675

John (2)

1677

Gertrude (1)

1679

Thomas (1)

1681

Elisha Turner (1) married Elizabeth Hicks, born in 1675. Children are…

Elisha (2)

1697

Mary (2)

1699

William (3)

1701

Elizabeth (1)

1703

Henry (1)

1704

Philip (1)

1706

Ebenezer (2)

1707

John (3)

1709

Elisha Turner (2) married Mary Carroll born in 1700. Children are…

Thomas (2)

1720

Ebenezer (3)

1722

Elizabeth (2)

1724

Henrietta (1)

1726

John (4)

1727

Zadock (1)

1729

Daniel (1)

1731

William (4)

1733


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Jim

Welcome! I think it's fantastic that you are assembling that information. Keep us posted on your progress. We would ideally like to link in sites like yours to www.clsna.us so other Turners can find this type of info.

Great to have you here!

Jim,

I'm also a Turner, and I live in the McDonough area.  We should get together and compare notes.

If you can make it out to Stone Mountain this weekend for the highland games, come by the Lamont tent and find me.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Scott,
Nice to see you on the forum!  I remember the great time I had at the Stone Mtn. games a few years ago, it was the first time I met George, Jim, yourself and all the wonderful folks down your way.  Can't make it this year, but sometime soon I hope.  Have fun on the weekend.

Thanks for the welcome George.  You need to come back to Stone Mountain, and maybe one of these days I'll make it out your way.
