My TURNER family either sprouted up under a mushroom or the stork
delivered them! Cannot find a clue on the parentage of Isaac.

Do you have TWINS in your family??? Anyone named MILTON???? Please read on
to see why.

Isaac TURNER b 1788 Paris, FR d 1867 Wayne Co., PA. He
served in the War of 1812, enlisting in Mamaroneck, Westchester Co., NY.
Isaac m Nancy KELLEY in 1848 after he stopped at her farm in Wayne Co., PA
and worked for her (yes, he really was 34 yrs. older than Nancy). Family
name was supposedly de la TOURNEUR (sp.?) prior to emigrating from FR c
1792. Have no knowledge of parents or siblings or point of imm/emigration.

Family lore says Isaac 'came from the Middle West' when he stopped at
Nancy's farm and that he had been married twice before. (Don't know what
'came from the Middle West' means - western PA or further west?) Nothing is
know of these marriages but it is understood he had children from them.

Isaac/Nancy had 8 children:

Mathilda who was a post mistress for NayAug, PA and never married
John Milton m ? DEPEW had 15 children incl. 2 sets of twins
Franklyn Varney m Carolena Augusta MEYER
Mary Angeline
James Buchanan
Rosilla Correll m 1- LOCKARD 2- HAUSER
Elma Martha m 1- DENISON 2- BIRD
Elmer Marcus (last 2 were twins).

In the 1850 Wayne Co., PA census a John TURNER is shown living next door
to Isaac/Nancy. His children were: Maria, George and Milton - twins;
Victoria and Virginia - twins, and Henry. Since the name MILTON shows up in
the children with Nancy plus twins in each family (this also carried into
the next generation), I feel this John was a son of Isaac from one of the
earlier marriages.

Is anyone out there missing an ISAAC TURNER???? Hope to hear from some
of you!!!!
