b. 1796
Family
Birth*1796Aiden D. Turner was born about 1796 in Virginia.3,4 
Name VariationHis name was spelled Adin by some researchers and census takers.5,4 
Marriage*22 July 1815He married Sophia Tinsley, daughter of Isaac Tinsley Sr. and Jane Lee, on 22 July 1815 in Barren County, Kentucky.6 
(Legatee) Estate and Land20 May 1822On the same date of 20 May 1822 that Aiden's mother-in-law, Jane Tinsley, was allotted her Dower Rights, the Commissioners appointed by the Court in Barren County, Kentucky, submitted their estimation required for the settlement of the estate of Aiden's father-in-law, Isaac Tinsley Sr. From an examination of the papers they had received from Thomas Winn, Administrator for the estate, and from the "best evidence" they could obtain, they presented an accounting to the Court of the distribution status for each of the other legatees, Moses Tinsley, Richard Tinsley, Isaac Tinsley Jr., Thomas Tinsley, Seney (Tinsley) Powell, Thomas Powell, Colby Tinsley, Andrew Carpenter, Bennett Tinsley, Rhoda Tinsley, Frank Tinsley, Sophia (Tinsley) Turner and Aiden D. Turner. Identified as Isaac Tinsley Sr.'s heirs and their legal representatives, the group included Isaac's children, the husbands of their married daughters, an attorney for one of their sons, the heirs of a deceased son, and a trustee for one of their daughter's children. The report of the Commissioners listed specific amounts of money and personal property received and/or owning to each.

All of the couple's children, with the exception of Sophia (Tinsley) Turner, had already received a portion of their shares from the estate before this final accounting, and allotments were made by the commissioners for balances due.

Moses Tinsley's allotment was made to his heirs.

Allotments were made directly to Richard Tinsley, Isaac Tinsley Jr., Thomas Tinsley, Bennett Tinsley, Rhoda Tinsley and Frank Tinsley.

Essenith (Tinsley) Powell's allotment was made to her husband, Thomas Powell, who by law was her legal representative.

Colby Tinsley's balance due was allotted to his father-in-law, Andrew Carpenter, whom Colby had appointed his legal representative.

Frank Tinsley, as the Trustee for the children of his sister, Sophia (Tinsley) Turner and her husband Aiden Turner, received the children's allotment.2 
(Son-in-Law) Estate and Land27 June 1822Commissioners were appointed in February 1822 by the County Court of Barren County, Kentucky, to divide and allocate the lands of Aiden's father-in-law, Isaac Tinsley Sr., deceased, to his heirs or their legal representatives. The widow's Dower had previously been set aside. Three of the commissioners submitted their report, which included a sketch of the ten allotted shares, to the court on 27 June 1822. Included in the allocations were the heirs of Isaac's deceased son, Moses Tinsley, and Isaac's nine surviving children, Colby Tinsley, Richard Tinsley, Seney (Tinsley) Powell, Thomas Tinsley, Rhoda Tinsley, Francis Tinsley, Sophia (Tinsley) Turner, Isaac Tinsley Jr. and Bennett Tinsley. Because his wife's sister, Essenith, and Aiden's wife, Sophia, were married, as was the law in those days, their allocations were made to their husbands, Thomas Powell and Aiden D. Turner, respectively, as their legal representatives. Our transcription of the Commissioners' report follows and the icon at the end will take you to the sketch of the boundaries dividing each allocation included in their report.

The legal authorization for Richard to act was prepared and recorded in Barren County, Kentucky, and our transcription of the document follows:

Nancy Turner1

b. 1806
Family
Name-Marr-Possible Here's what puzzles us: Nancy's daughter Mary's name when she married John Beesley was "Mary M. Marshall", and Nancy's name when she was enumerated in her daughter's household in 1880 was "Nancy Turner". Nancy was a widow at that time. So... these are our questions: Was "Turner" Nancy's maiden name? Or did she marry someone with the surname of Turner after her "Marshall" husband died?. Until we learn the truth, we're just calling her Nancy Turner.1,2 
Birth*1806Nancy Turner was born in July about 1806 in Ohio.1 
(Mother) Census US 188015 June 1880Nancy was enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 15 June 1880 in the household of her daughter, Mary (Marshall) Beesley, in Virginia, Cass County, Illinois. She was 74 years of age and a widow.1

Marriage*She married, as his second wife, Samuel Heaton, son of Samuel Heaton and Sarah Hawes.1 
Children* It is not clear if Samuel had any children with his first wife, and all of Samuel's ten children appear to have considered Abigail their mother. We believe that Gideon was Samuel's first child and are thoroughly confused and uncertain about the birth order of the others. For the purpose of this project, we have assigned all of the ten children to Abigail -- until we learn otherwise.4

  4. [S225] Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia, online at www.wikipedia.org, The Rogerenes (also known as the Rogerens Quakers or Rogerines) was a religious sect founded in 1674 by John Rogers (1648–1721) in New London, Connecticut. Rogers was imprisoned and spent some years there. He was influenced by the Seventh Day Baptists and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and opposed the Established Puritan church. Rogerenes initially held to a Seventh Day (Saturday) Sabbath, but over the years began to regard each day as equally holy. Their disdain for Sunday worship often brought them into sharp conflict with their neighbors. Increasingly they adopted a Pacifist stance, including war tax resistance, which further brought them the ridicule of the larger community. Some of the Rogerenes left Connecticut and migrated to New Jersey settling in parts of present-day Morris County. One such group settled in what is now the Landing section of Roxbury Township, New Jersey near Lake Rogerine, then known as Mountain Pond in about 1700. Another smaller group of Rogerenes in about 1734 settled on the eastern side of Schooley's Mountain near present-day Hackettstown, New Jersey. Rogerene worship services continued through the early 20th century in Connecticut. Hereinafter cited as Wikipedia Encyclopedia.
