cousins and anyone else with an interest in genealogy.
Here is my family tree.
Jesse M. Turner and Permelia GREGORY Turner, my paternal great grandfather X2 and paternal great grandmother, are brick walls for me. Jesse was born circa 1795 perhaps in North Carolina and died in 1871 in Rockdale County, Georgia. Permelia (1837-1876) lived in Newton and Rockdale Counties Georgia her entire life. I would love to hear from anyone who has info on these two direct ancestors of mine.

I am unfamiliar with the Melungeon ethnicity. The Almands are a difficult family to research because there are so many of them. One of the Almand descendants has uncovered evidence that the original surname was not even Almand. That the Almand name was adopted after arriving in the US. If they, or the Turner line are indeed Melungeon, It is news to me. As best I can tell, they came to Georgia, where I live, through Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I am unaware of any of my ancestors that originated or lived in Appalachia. Although, my great x2 grandfather, Jesse M Turner and his wife Priscilla are brick walls for me, and I have not identified their ancestors or dates and places of birth. I believe that Jesse was born in N Carolina and his wife Priscilla was born in South Carolina, based on census data, but I do not know where or exactly when. I also cannot positively identify all of their children. They had one son, Alfred Lafayette Turner 1838-1919, who moved to the Roston, Arkansas area. I think that I have a lot of relatives, whom I do not know, in and around the Nevada County, Arkansas area. In fact, Alfred was married to another Almand, Martha Ann Almand (1843-1905). There were and still are a ton of Almands in Fulton and Rockdale Counties. There is an Almand Rd in Conyers that runs by the original Georgia Almand homestead. I see that you have an Ancestry tree. My family tree, Turner Rodgers, Cooper Ingram, including many of the Almands, is on Ancestry.com as well. Good luck in your genealogy search. Jim Turner [email address removed]
Thank you for self-certifying for the Pre-1700 badge! Participation in a Pre-1700 Project is strongly encouraged for those wishing to edit Pre-1700 profiles. Collaboration is essential because pre-1700 ancestors are shared by many descendants.
It looks like the Maryland Project would be a good fit based your current contributions to the WikiTree. Review the project page for any special guidelines and to learn how to collaborate with the project members.
Do you have any questions? Let me know. I'm happy to help! :-)
