The original of this document contains information about living people which I have removed. I prefer to transcribe items as I find them but in this case I felt the need to correct certain items and have therefor taken the liberty of making corrections which appear [in brackets].

Because this was transcribed line by line the word wrap may make it difficult to read online. Also due to online formatting I have replaced ditto marks with the word they indicated.

I would be happy to share the original with other descendants. This is Part 2 of 3.

Public Service of Hannah L. Carlisle.
On the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion (Civil War) Daniel Carlisle was not
able to enter the military service of the coountry on account of disabliity
from poor health and old age. His wife Hannah L. Carlisle who was intensely
patriotic felt it her duty to take his place. Accordingly she volunteered as a
nurse and left her home Nov. 14, 1861 for St. Louis where she was assigned to
Post Hospital No. 1 at Columbus, Ky. Just before this she had charge of a Hos-
pital Boat for a few weeks and as the boat was leaky she worked in water to her
knees for 10 days or more. She remained at Post Hospital at Columbus until the
close of the War except for two months when she was stationed at the hospital
at Paducah, Ky. Her daughter Arabelle was with her at Columbus for about two
years and was in the hospital with her mother when the Confederates bombarded
the City, her mother having refused to leave the sick and wounded in her charge,
when advised to leave on account of the danger of capture by the Confederates.
After the close of the War Hannah entered the Freedman's Department of Superin-
tendents & Teachers & served in this capacity until July 3, 1886. As she re-
ceived a Nurse's pension in later years her recird of service can readily
be found in the Archives of the Pension Dept. at Wash. D.C.

Surname Saturday - Turner

Since I spent a considerable amount of time working on my Turner line over the summer, I'll focus on it this week. After lots of poking around I don't know a whole lot more than I started with. The Turners were from the eastern shore of Virginia and this is a fairly new research area for me so there is a learning curve as I try to learn what is available and how to access it.

I've found a couple of trees that have John Furbush Turner as the son of Andrew Turner and Sarah Read but as yet I haven't been able to verify that.

I have found the Miles Files at the Virginia Eastern Shore Public Library helpful in getting started on this family.

What Does it Mean?

What Does it Mean?

I have been working today to try and discover more about my 5th great-grandfather, John Furbush Turner (c.1735-1803). I've found a couple of trees that list him as the son of Andrew Turner and Sarah Read. Those trees list Redegil or Redicle Turner as John's sister. I found the following at Virginia Eastern Shore Public Library, Miles Files 10.0. I have bolded the part that I don't understand.

Thomas Savage III

Thomas was born circa 1688 at Northampton Co, VA. He was the son of Thomas Savage (II) and Bridget Robinson. Thomas was named in his father's will on 10 November 1721 at Northampton Co, VA. He was shown as a son Thomas in the will of Thomas Savage Sr., wife Bridget..1 Thomas witnessed a will on 15 December 1729 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that Luke Johnson, John Smith, Jonathan [J] Savage & Thomas [I] Savage witnessed the will of Nathaniel Savage, wife Sarah, daughter Ansley..2 He made a will on 25 October 1747 at Northampton Co, VA. To my dau. Mary Johnson n. girl Tamar. To dau. Rhody Kellum n. girl Hannah and horse called "Biard". To dau. Agnes Joyne n. girl Sabro and horse "Batchelor". To my grandson Thomas White the colt that came of my son Thomas' mare. Also to my grandson Thomas White, Thomas Savage's oldest saddle. To Redicle Turner 500#t and all she has of mine upon the provisor that Andrew Turner will bear the Parish harmless of the child she now goes with, or else to return back. My son Thomas resid. legatee and extr. Witt: Nathaniel Rogers, Isaac Smith..3 Thomas died before 10 November 1747 at Northampton Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated..3

Does this mean that Redicle was pregnant with Thomas Savage's child at the time he wrote his will? Why would "the Parish" need to be held harmless? Does "or else to return back" mean that the legacy needs to be returned to the estate if Andrew Turner were to sue?

What do you think?

John Furbush Turner's Petition, 1781

Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.

Amanuensis Monday, hosted by John Newmark at Transylvanian Dutch.

It was just earlier this year that I discover that John Furbush Turner was my 4th great-grandfather and I really haven't done much research on him. Yesterday at Google Books I found the following.

Journal of the House of Delegates of the Commonwealth of Virginia;
Begun and held in the town of Richmond, In the County of Henrico,
On Monday, the seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord
One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-One

Page 28
A petition of Thomas Rose and John Furbush Turner, was presented to the house, and read; setting forth, that in the month of January, 1777, a small schooner, the property of the petitioners, was impressed for the purpose of transporting part of the ninth Virginia regiment from the county of Accomac to the head of Elk; that on her return, she was captured by the enemy, and the auditors have refused to make them any allowance for the said vessel, alleging that they are not authorized by law to do so; and praying relief.

Page 67
Mr. Richard Lee reported, from the committee of Claims, that the committee had, according to order, had under their consideration several petitions and a resolution to them referred, and had come the following resolutions thereupon, which he read in his place, and afterwards delivered in at the clerk's table, where the same were again read and are as followeth:

Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee, That the petition of Thomas Rose and John Furbush Turner, praying that a reasonable compensation may be made them by the public, for a small schooner, which was impressed from them in the month of January, 1777, for the purpose of transporting part of the 9th Virginia regiment from the county of Accomac to the Head of Elk, and on her return was captured by the enemy; and also, a further compensation for the time that she was in public service, previous to her capture, for which the auditors have refused to make any allowance, is reasonable; and that the petitioner's said claim ought to be referred to the court of Claims in the said county of Accomac, to be inspected by them, and if allowed, to be transmitted to the auditors of public accounts, for certificates to issue thereupon.

Page 81
Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee, That the petition of Thomas Rose and John Furbush Turner, praying that a reasonable compensation may be made them by the public for a small schooner, which was impressed from them in the month of January 1777, for the purpose of transporting part of the ninth Virginia regiment, from the county of Accomac to the head of Elk, and on her return was captured by the enemy; and also, a further compensation for the time that she was in public service, previous to her capture; for which the auditors have refused to make any allowance, be rejected; the same being a continental claim.

This was a ver interesting find. Was John Furbush Turner a sailor or did he just own a share in the vessel? It's too bad that the name of the vessel isn't given.

I guess governments have been passing the buck since they were formed. I was unsuccessful in determining the final outcome. I would think that they was have gone on to petition Congress. Something to add to the list of things to track down.
