[Jeanna]

also trying to research the Turnes from Boykins,VA. My husbands grandmother(paternal) was Mary Magdaline Turner from Greensville co. she married Cola Dunlow also from greensville county. They had several children :Robert(husbands father),Ernest,MC,Ben,Maetta,Queen Ester–posibly more…but these names are definate. would like to find the race listed for Mary and her background to see if they are related to the Turners that I’m a descendant from. Mine are Lundy and Annie Turner…Any information is appreciated..

Jeanna,

The listed race may or may not be accurate due to subjectivity, but they were listed as “White” and the two TURNER families don’t seem to connect, problem is, the DUNLOWs can’t be found earlier than 1870 and the TURNERs can’t be found in 1880 or earlier :confused: but I’ll take another look for them.

They were from Southhampton County.

To save some typing time, all were born in Virginia as were all their parents, and “White” as far back as they go, so I’ll not list birth-state or race, but for one exception in 1880.

I don’t know who these GRIFFINs are – maybe someone else here does. Thru time, Your Dunlow and Turner families lived near several GRIFFIN families.
