Ancestors, & Kinfolk Of Sarah Thompson

My great great grandfather William Turner is one of my brick walls. My Turner cousins
and I know that he was born in Ohio in 1815 and died in Lexington, Ky in 1888, his final
resting place unknown. We know quite a bit about his descendants, but nothing about his
parents or siblings.

So, after a lot of long hours of research by my cousins Leroy, Marilyn, Judy, her mom
Anna, Shauna, Stephen, WJ and myself, the Turner information we have gathered is on
this site. We are hoping that by sharing this information, we will find William's ancestors.

* Special thanks to Judy Weaver and her mom Anna Turner for all their hard work on the
family lines from John's first marriage.*

My second brick wall is my great great grandpa John Thompson. According to family
legend, he was of Blackfoot Indian ancestry. This branch of the Thompson Family moved
quite a bit - starting in California, living in Virginia, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. They
married into the Bowling, Ponder, Nicholson and Murray families. Eventually settling into
Clay, Laurel and Jackson counties in Kentucky .
