Hi Margaret.

I'm very interested in your Patrick Turner. My GG grandfather was James
Patrick Henry Turner, who apparently went by "Patrick" as a child. He was
born c1806, Franklin Co, NC. His brother, Vines Turner, born c1798, was
living in the Dinwiddie/Prince George area in 1830. He very well could
have been in that area around 1825 when your Patrick Turner was born.

I'd be very interested in any information you might receive regarding this
Patrick Turner.

Subject: 1870 Census- NEBLETT OR TURNER FAMILY, VA

Dear Friends,

In the 1870 Lunenburg County, VA Census, my ancestor, Silas Drake was
living in the home of a Abraham NEBLETT. I have located a Neblett
Cemetery, South of Kenbridge, VA. Does anyone have any information
about the NEBLETT family? My Gr. Grandfather was a Wheel Wright and 39
years old. His brother John F. Drake, age 27 was with him.

Between 1860 and 1870 Silas's Father had died. John Drake was 66 in the
1860 Census, and in 1870, John's wife Mary E. Walker Drake is keeping
House. Her daughter Louisa M. Drake is with her and they are living in
the home of Patrick TURNER, no relationship listed. This Patrick is 45
and born in Virginia. There is an Elvira Turner age 35 there also and
two domesatic servants. Fannie Turner, 12 and a Louis Jefferson 12.

Any help would be apprecited. I cannot find where these Ancestors are
buried.

Warm Regards,
Margaret Driskill
