Hello Turner List.

This is repeating what I posted at the previous roll call. My Great
Grandfather was John Boswell TURNER. I don't know his date of
birth or where it happened. My grandfather, William Hammond TURNER was born
5/22/1857 in Dalton GA. His mother was Frances Melvina Williams Nelms
TURNER, born 3/09/1816 somewhere in VA. She died 3/07/1906 and is buried in
GA (I believe in Atlanta). I don't know when or where John Boswell Turner
died. Frances Melvina Williams first husband had been John NELMS, a USArmy
calvaryman who died (we think) in a battle of the Mexican American War.
There was one son, John Nelms Jr. from that marriage. Frances and John
Boswell had five children, William Hammond, Laura, Green Berry, Taylor, and
Lula. I don't know the birth order except we believe Green Berry was older
than William Hammond, therefore born before 1857. Green Berry lived (we
believe) in Nashville. William Hammond died when my mother was about 7 so
she doesn't know very much about his family. My desire is to trace John
Boswell Turner's roots.
