I think this line is:

Nathaniel/ Mathew/ Nathaniel, whose mother was Winifred “Winny”, whose husband apparently died young. The elder Nathaniel may have been Nathaniel Mathew Turner, as both names appear.

It’s my opinion that all of the people listed in this post are actually Indian.

I think this is the family of Emma D. Turner who married the above Nathaniel, but this doesn’t necessarily prove it is the same Emma:
