Isham J. L. Turner (c1828) and Lucy Head --- of Darlington, Marion and Florence Co, SC[Commentary] [Children] [Researcher List] [Register Report] [A Note about sources] [How to contact me] [Home] I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to the Isham Turner family. I am very interested in him though. Isham J. L. Turner was born ca 1827/28 in Darlington District, SC, presumably in the region that later became Florence County (in 1888). ("Isham" is sometimes spelled "Isam" or "Isom"). Isham Turner is a son of Elias D. Turner and Elizabeth Cusack, and was listed with his parents on the 1850 census (Darlington District). Isham Turner married Lucy Ann Head circa 1856, in either Darlington or Marion District. Lucy is a granddaughter of George James and Jane Gourly of Darlington. Her ancestry is proven by various Equity Rolls (Marion County) which name her parents as Absolom Head and Eveline James. Equity Roll # 398 shows Lucy Ann Head, wife of Isham Turner as an heir of George James, and she was also an heir of Evaline (dau of George James), wife of Absolom Head. (Marion County South Carolina Extracts from Equity Rolls by Lucille Utley). Isham and Lucy were listed in Marion District, SC for the 1860 census, in the area that later became McMillan Township (near Effingham). Her widowed father Absolom Head was next door.

I didn't find Isham, nor Lucy on the 1870 census in this area, nor in 1880. In 1888, McMillan Township and other parts of Marion and neighboring counties were cut off to form the new County of Florence.
