Hi, Rick,

I'm interested in Greene County Turners, but don't think they came from
North Carolina. The earliest Ohio Turner I have is James, born ?? in MD
or DE. It is said he lived in Delaware before moving to Ohio. He died
in Bellbrook, Greene Co. on October 5, 1852. His wife is Nancy Agness
Snodgrass.

I thought I'd write just in case you might come across such a Turner.

Regards,
Dee Turner
