Seeking info on Elizabeth R. Carmack (see variations for last name). She
is my gggrandmother. ! have very sketchy info on her. Her headstone at
the cememtery says she was born 28 Mar 1844 and died 4 Mar 1902. I have
her born in GA, died in TN buried in Lone Chestnut Cemetery. She married
Sam M. Turner in TN but I don't even have a marriage date. Their son Charlie
Joe (C.L.) Turner, my great grandfather was born 1 Aug 1878 in Decatur,
Morgan, AL.
Oral history says Elizabeth's parents disowned her for "marrying beneath
herself". Sam Turner is said to have disappeared while on a river trip
to get grain ground. The grain was found floating inthe river but he was
never found. Some tales sa he was killed by a "Jeeters" family; some say
he ran off with another woman. Nothng has ever been proven either way.
The Turner and Cormack/Carmack, etc. lines both end here.
My grandmother said she thinks she remembers her daddy saying that Elizabeth's
mother "was a Dean" (last name. But the Elizabeth Carmack I found whose
mother's last name was Dean was married to someone else.
My grandmother is now 81 and I'd love to be able to give this information
to her.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!
