I am working on the TURNER line, in Fayette Co after 1840. My knowledge ends with the family of Thomas TURNER, whose son Kenyon (Kenion) was my father's ggrandfather. Kenyon named his youngest son James Boswell, who named one of
his sons James Boswell,Jr. I believe that there is a connection to the Boswell TURNER who lived in Greene Co in the early 1800's, but I get lost in the maze of Thomas TURNERs. The family lived in Hancock Co, and I think Kenyon's father moved back there after the War, perhaps Boswell Turner was Thomas' uncle. There are 4 Thomas Turners living in 2 households in Fayette Co (gfather, father, uncle, brother(?) to Kenyon, who named his son Thomas!) any help is appreciated!

Andrews Morris was the daughter of Susan Jones and Matthew Andrews. Not much else on the Morris family, though they appear to have spent some time in Jones County, Georgia. Thanks for any assistance you may provide me.

John WILSON and wife Elizabeth Moore Wilson came to Greene Co. before 1800.
Their children have been listed as Sally, who married Thomas Glass, Jesse M., John, and two who died very young. I have also seen where there might have been other children, but cannot confirm as of yet. He died 1835, she died 1840. His will leaves all to his beloved wife and children, unnamed! He chose as his
executors close friends Oliver Porter and James Daniel. John Wilson was a member of the Va. continental line in Rev. war and was said to be from Prince Edward Co. Va., although one source I saw listed him as from Buckingham Co. Va. I am trying to connect him with my known ancestor William Wilson who settled in
Morgan Co.
