From: "Billy Higgins" - Both Martin Turner and James Turner are listed in the 1830 Arkansas census for Izard County (in 1830, Izard County contained the lands of the future Marion County, Arkansas which was created in 1836) as "free colored". U. S. Army records list Marion, South Carolina as place of birth for both men. Martin was 29 years old when he was discharged at Fort Smith on August 28, 1819. That would make him born in 1789 or 1790. He is described as being five feet nine inches tall with dark eyes, dark hair, and dark complexion. Race is not mentioned on the document. James was honorably discharged as well on the same date. He was twenty-three making the year of his birth in 1795 or 1796. He was five feet ten inches tall with dark eyes, dark hair and dark complexion;
