Thomas L. Turner (1883) and Zadie I. Watson of Marion Co, SC[Commentary] [Children] [Researcher List] [Register Report] [A Note about sources] [How to contact me] [Home] I (Marty Grant) am a Great grandson of Thomas and Zadie Turner. Thomas Lide Turner was born 5 Jun 1883 (per tombstone and death certificate) in Marion Co, SC, probably just east of Mullins. I'm not sure what the origin of his name was. There are no "Lide" family connections as far as I know, and no one named "Thomas" in the immediate family either, so I don't know who (if anyone) he was named after. Thomas is a son of Daniel Joyner Turner and Laura Virginia James. This was common knowledge in the family (and told to me by several of Thomas' children), and is also proven by the 1900 and 1910 census, and Thomas' death certificate. Thomas was home with his parents for the 1900 and 1910 census in Marion County, SC, in Reeves Township (Mullins area). In 1910 he was listed as head of household, although still single. His parents and siblings were with him. His future sister-in-law Mary Watson was with him. Rembert Floyd was with them, listed as an adopted son, but he was actually Daniel and Virginia's grandson.

On 10 Sep 1914, Thomas married Zadie Idell Watson in Mullins. Their marriage record listed him as "Thomas Lide Turner", age 24, of Mullins, and her as "Zaidell Watson", age 18, of Mullins. Zadie was born 10 Sep 1896 in Columbus Co, NC, somewhere near the Delco community. She was a child of William H. Watson and Mary Catherine Davis of Columbus County. She was home with them for the 1900 census. Apparently they both died while the children were still small. I did not locate Zadie on the 1910 census, but her sister Mary Watson was residing with Thomas L. Turner and his parents in Marion Co, SC. I don't know why she wound up there, or with them, but that would explain how Thomas met Zadie, via her sister Mary. Thomas and Zadie were listed on the 1920 census in Reeves Township.
