AND ELIZA TURNER FROM TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA. TO TRINITY, LOUISIANA. IF YOU ARE A TURNER DESCENDENT ON THIS PAGE, YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE OF GOD, GEORGE, ELIZA, AND HENRY TURNER.

THEY ARE DATED BACK TO THE LATE 1700S/ THE SPILLERS WERE NOT SLAVES. THEY HAD RICH HERITAGE HOPEFULLY AND WILL FINISH THEM TODAY!!!!!!!!! TIRED OF THE SPILLERS HISTORY. LOL TOO MUCH. IF YOU MISS REUNION 2014. YOU WILL MISS THE FAMILY HISTORY OF YOUR LIFE. THE WALL THAT THE FAMILY TREE WILL THAT BE DISPLAYED ON IS BEING BUILT TO THE TUNE OF 150 FEET LONG AND 48 INCHES WIDE AND WILL BE DISPLAYED AT THE REUNION SITE OF PELICAN LANDING CONFERENCE CENTER.. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, TO PUT A PRICE TAG ON THE FAMILY HISTORY WORK OF THE WHITLEY, COLLINS, MATTHEWS, DUNBAR, SWIFT, WRIGHT, WOODS, KING, SQUARE, SPILLERS, DAVIS, BENNETT, TURNER EBECK SINCE THE RESEARCH STARTED IN 1997, I WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF 50 TO 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK AND RESEARCH AND THAT IS TRUE. A GENEALOGY PRICING GROUP WILL TOUR THE TREE ON THAT FRIDAY MORNING OF THE REUNION AND PUT THE FINAL PRICE ON THE RESEARCH. THE OLDER GENERATION OF THE FAMILY WANTED THIS HISTORY TOLD AND MOST OF THEM ARE GONE BUT I KNOW THEY ARE SAYING CUTN RUTH, THATS HOW I GOT THE NAME CUTN RUTH. HALLEJUAH. THEY SAID WHATEVER IT IS TELL IT. WE DID NOT KNOW OUR HISTORY AND WE WANT THE YOUNG PEOPLE TO KNOW THEIR PEOPLE AND THIER HISTORY. COME TO REUNION 2014 AND SUPPORT THE DREAMS OF THE PEOPLE BELOW. OLEVIA DIANN NORRIS(MY NIECE) OF FLINT, MICHIGAN STARTED THE WHOLE THING. DIANN AS WE CALLED HER DIED A FEW YEARS AGO AT A YOUNG AGE. SHE CAME TO ME ONE DAY AND SAID AUNT RUTH, YOU ALWAYS DOING YOUR FAMILY REUNION, WILL YOU DO ONE FOR UNCLE JIMMIES FAMILY. I WILL HELP. I SAID DIANN YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HELP, BUT SHE DID SAY THAT I WILL CHEER YOU ON, AND SHE DID. I ASKED, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. SHE SAID I ONLY KNOW 40 RELATIVES. I TOLD HER THAT I KNOW THAT YOU HAD MORE PEOPLE THAN THAT. THAT IS WHEN THE RESEARCH STARTED IN 1997, AND NOW IT IS OVER 8,000 ON THE FAMILY TREE AND THEY ARE CLOSE KNOWN RELATIVES. YOU CAN THANK PEOPLE THE ONES BELOW. THEY NOT ONLY GAVE THIER SUPPORT AND FAMILY HISTORY, BUT THEY ALSO GAVE FINANCIAL SUPPORT. I KNEW WHAT DATE ALL THOSE SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS WOULD BE COMING IN, BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME THE DATE THAT THEY WOULD BE SENDING MONEY FOR THE RESEARCH. THEY WOULD ALWAYS SAY IF WE MARRIED ANY OF OUR PEOPLE, IT IS BECAUSE WE DID NOT KNOW AND WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO KNOW. . A LOT OF THEM ATTENDED THE FIRST REUNION IN 1998. SPECIAL THANKS TO BELINDA AND TERRI RENEE COLLINS MOTHER OF JONESVILLE. I CANT THINK OF HER NAME BUT SHE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT COMING TO THE REUNION IN 1998. SHE HAD BOUGHT HER DRESS AND EVERYTHING.
