Isaac TURNER (de la TOURNEAU - var. sp.) b 15 May 1788 Paris, FR d 30 Sept. 1867 South Canaan, Wayne Co., PA. Absolutely NO info on parentage or siblings. Isaac served in the War of 1812 in the 12th Regiment, NY Militia. He was a private in Capt. Absolom Cudney's Co. of Infantry, Varian's Reg't.'s NY. He enlisted in Mamaroneck, Westchester Co., NY. His application papers for Bounty Land give no information. Family lore says Isaac was married twice before he married Nancy KELL(E)Y 11 May 1848 in So. Canaan, Wayne Co., PA, and that he had children from those 2 marriages. That he came from 'the middle West' and stopped in South Canaan and worked on Nancy's farm since she lived there alone (apparently a widow and 34 yrs. younger than Isaac). Nothing is known about his children by his former marriages. Isaac and Nancy had 8 children: Mathilda who was a post mistress for NayAug, PA and never married b 1849 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 b 1864 m 1- DENISON 2- BIRD Elmer Marcus (last 2 were twins) b 1864 The 1850 census Salem Twp., Wayne Co. PA, shows John TURNER living next door to Isaac. John was born c 1810 NJ and among others, had a son named Milton. He also had 2 sets of twins. John is probably a son of Isaac from a previous marriage. I cannot trace this John further. In a Scranton, PA newspaper article on one of Isaac's dau. in 1936, she tells of her father being born in FR. There are Turners in Westchester Co., NY but the family was there b/f my Isaac would have been born. There is an Isaac in Columbia Co., NY born the same year as 'my' Isaac but his grandfather was b in NY. There are Isaacs in the right time frame in other PA counties but I cannot find birth info. Also found this: TOURNIER, Joseph. France. Baltimore Co. (Naturalization Docket) 1796-1851 MD State Archives C389-1 MdHR 1806 f. 27 #517 7 June 1804. Civil Ct. Is anyone out there in the great genealogy beyond, missing an ancestor perhaps with the name MILTON prevalent, or twins running in the family??? I have checked the Turner DNA site(s) with no success. There are no direct mail heirs left to be tested.
