This Website & Home Page is dedicated to my Father Jesse Cawthon Turner & my  Mother Euallie Marie Beatty. Dad worked on his genealogy for nearly fifty  years, did it the hard way by driving to the many places all over the country,  visiting court houses and manually looking through the deed, will, and census  books. There were no computers in his day. I picked it up and have worked  nearly thirty years. The longer I live, the more I realize how much knowledge  he had.  I have tried to recount many of the stories he told, especially his  experience of seeing his first automobile, `coming down that wagon road, a big  cloud of dust, the dangest clatter you ever heard, and there were no mules or  horses pulling it`. I do agree with him, that he lived through the greatest  changes man has ever seen or will see. from the invention of the automobile,  telephone, radio to landing a man on the moon and bringing him safely home.       I wish that my father and my cousin, Margery Olive Turner Swinton of  Washington D.C.had lived to see this work at this point they both contributed  so much to it. Thank you both. Fred B.
