• Notes

  !NOTES:Martha Ellen Price married some Turner between 1870 and ca 1877. The D/C of her son Enos lists him as "Jim Turner" Ellen Turner was listed as Single in 1880, but as her maiden name is Price, yet she was listed as a Turner here and all subsequent records she must have been married at some point. Perhaps she got divorced but kept her married name? She was S(ingle) in 1900, but W(idowed) in 1910 and 1920. Perhaps she and Jim Turner never divorced, or perhaps never married in the first place (common law marriage?). She was living with William Finklea in 1880. He named her and all her children in his 1881 Will, but stated no relationship. He himself never married. He *could* be the father of her children, but that's far from proven; There were several James Turners in Marion who could be Ellen's "Jim" assuming that was actually the name we should be looking for. The one record I have giving that name is the death certificate of Enos Turner. The same record lists Enos's mother as Ellen Calder, when it should say Price. Thus, perhaps none of it is reliable;
