It is believed that JOHN TURNER could be the father of Nancy Turner Conaway. He may have had a brother George Turner. George's children are accounted for in his will - his daughter Nancy was not married to Henry Conaway. James Turner & JOHN TURNER were living next door to Henry Conaway in 1820. A John Turner and John Turner, Jr. both drew in the 1805 land lottery for Warren Co, Ga. Henry Conaway & Nancy Turner married in 1806 in Warren County. John, Sr. drew 2 blanks and John, Jr. drew 2 blanks. Since there were 3 John Turner's in Warren County, it is not certain which was John, Jr.'s father. ---------- 1820 Warren County Georgia Census p.263 John C.

Hart’s Creek is in District 155 in the NE part of Warren Co. by Wilkes & by Fountain Campground - they apparently moved there between 1805 & 1818.] p23 &35 show Hart’s creek early settlers - no Brantley listed [Note from Dianne: SOME EARLY TAX DIGESTS OF GEORGIA by Blair p. 242 JOHN TURNER 1 poll 150 lands 3 Quality Warren County Water Courses - Harts Creek Adjoiners - Brantley 40 cents] [Note by Dianne: 1820 Census JOHN TURNER was living with James Turner next to Henry Conaway. 1827 Oct James Turner admin of estate of JOHN TURNER 1830 James Turner had elderly lady living with him - probably wife of JOHN TURNER] 1849 Tax Digest - District 155 p293 Henry Conaway 130 acres p293 Turner Conaway 170 acres No Turners [Note from Dianne: Henry Conaway now has land - There is no deed in Warren Co for him receiving this land. I’m guessing it is part of JOHN TURNER’s 150 acres on Hart’s creek & Henry Conaway bought or inherited when JOHN TURNER died 1827 intestate.] P294 - Spivey Fuller, Samuel J. Lazenby, & R. C. Hill p293 Jacob Burkhalter - see below in deed [Note from Dianne: 1849 Henry Conaway deeded his 130 acres to son Turner Conaway - part of Turner’s 170 acres could have been Henry’s 130 acres - depending on when the land was sold & tax was levied. Deed said 130 acres in District 155 next to Fuller, Buchhalter & Lazenby. 1857 Turner Conaway sold this land to Robert C. Hill - 130 acres - reserving 20 for Henry to live on until his death - S. J. Lazenby on the North, B. Cody on the East, R. C. Hills on the South, etc. We have copies of both of these deeds.] 1858 Tax Digest - District 155 p314 Henry Conerway - no statistics - [Note from Dianne: because he had sold his land] p314 Turner Conerway - no statistics - [Note from Dianne: because he had sold his land - that’s why I think when Henry had no statistics above in 1818 it was because he didn’t own any land to be taxed - look at the timing. Henry deeded the land to Turner when he was taxed for the land & Turner sold it just before the next tax date.] p314 Bryn Cody - see above in deed p315 R. C. Hill - see above p316 S. J. Lazenby - see above [ Note from Dianne: If you follow the migration pattern up from Joe’s creek to Rocky Comfort creek to Long creek to Hart’s creek - they started near Hancock & Glascock counties. JOHN TURNER was on Long creek 1805 - just before Henry Conaway & Nancy Turnermarried - Long creek is near Hancock county. So they may have migrated from that area before the marriage. So it looks like they may have come up through the southern part of Warren Co instead of down through Wilkes as I originally thought.] ---------- Deed Book A page 526 1797 This Indenture made this twentieth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand Seven Hundred and ninety Seven and twenty first of American Independence Between William Cox of the County of Washington and State of Georgia of the one part, and JOHN TURNER of the County of Warren and State aforesaid of the other part, Witnesseth that the said William Cox hath for consideration of the sum of six hundred Dollars, to me in hand will and truly paid by JOHN TURNER before the sealing and delivery of these presents, the Receipt Whereof is hereby acknowledged have bargained, Sold and delivered, and by these presents doth fully, freely, absolutely and entirely bargain, sell, enforce convey and confirm unto him the said JOHN TURNER, his Heirs and Assigns forever all that Tract plantation or parcel of land, situate lying and being in the county and state aforesaid containing Two Hundred and fifty acres (more or less) & on Whit Stone Creek (to wit) Beginning at a Red X.
