This needs to be verified and documented - Turley Book gives only Sarah and no parentage or hint of parentage.'

Found this - and just does not seem to be messing together correctly - the links are to the profiles on GENI

I have not done research past the Greene county Indiana Branch Benjanmin & his sons - https://www.geni.com/people/Benjamin-Turley/600000001010347926 who went ii into Missouri too - the Turley Family Records Book is what I have copy of and I also have the PDF copy that's online at http://www.turleyfamily.net/genealogy/TurleyFamilyRecords.pdf - Beth Mitchell and several others done detailed work on the Turley's in Virginia - I helped document the Greene county Ancestor begins here

Also - Benjamin Franklin Turley ' s mother's Rachel maiden name was listed unknown in the book as well as his grandmother listed above - in this discussion - I have doubted this but figured someone furthered the research done back then by the compilers....

I have never seen the middle name "Franklin" either in records for him - he is my third great grandfather. and I have done considerable research on him and his ancestors - left his father & grandfather to Beth & the others. I am listed as a charter member as "Judith Garfield Burns" LOL

Judith Ellaine (McKee) Burns →
Alvin Robert McKee your father →
Lillie Gladys Vandeventer (1028) his mother →
Polly Ann (Long) Vandeventer
married James Garfield McKee (397) her mother →
July Ann Long (Turley) her mother →
Benjamin Franklin Turley her father

after first started I was told basically to "go with the flow" but I have tried to document and further research if I could.

The comments I posted were from someone else who placed them in the About section. I was asked to move them here. Any changes you'd like to make based on your extensive research are most welcome here. If there's something I can help with, please let me know. :)
