I have a puzzle of Sarah TURK who married a BISHOP whose son married my
grandmother, [Hannah HALE] I need your help. I will list what I have and
maybe someone on the RHEA list can point me in the right direction.

Children of Thomas Carter TURK & Elizabeth TRAYLOR are listed as:
1. Mary b. Est 1846-1870
2. Amanda Melvina b. 11 Aug 1849 KY
3. Andrew Jackson b. 19 Aug 1853 KY
4. Flora b. Est 1871
5. Thomas Price b. 1860 KY
6. James Milton b. 1866

Children of Thomas Carter TURK & Amanda CORRY:
1. Gillie Pope b. abt 1849-1878
2. Eugenia b. abt 1874
3, Archie C. b. abt 1876

There is my Sarah if this is the same Thomas C. TURK.
Does anyone have any information on this Sarah A. TURK? The age would
work. Mother remembers meeting met her about 1900 along with Uncle
Jack, Tom, and aunt Gilly. She would have been 70+

Documentation I have that connects with the TURKs is a General
Affidavite pertaining to my grandmother, Hannah Bishops pension from her
second husband [Allen]. It is signed by J. M. TURK and A. J. TURK and
states that Andrew Jackson Bishop is their nephew and had known my
grandmother since she was a young girl. This was executed in Hillsboro,
TX in 1929.

Sorry this is so long, but it is complicated - aren't they all. Thanks
for your consideration.
