I like a good puzzle!!
So, I looked at Don's suggested 1870 VAUGHN, Joseph family in Guernsey, Wills, Ohio
and yes, it looked like a Turner S. to me. So I tracked the family:
1880 Guernsey, Cambridge, Ohio (no Turner but he was in Indiana by then)
VAUGHN, Joseph 59 VA
Mary J 51 PN
Charles 22 OH
William 19 OH
George 14 OH
Henry 12 OH
1860 Guernsey, Wills, Ohio
VON, Joseph 39 VA (ancestry has them listed as VAN)
Mary J. 35 PN
Mary J. 16 OH
John 14 OH
Rebecca 10 OH
Lumer S. 8 OH ( Turner S.?)
Anna 7 OH
Charles 3 OH
1850 Guernsey, Washington, Ohio
VAUGHN, Joseph 28 VA
Rebecca 28 Ohio (so this was his first wife!!)
Mary J. 6 OH
John 4 OH
Fanny 2 OH
Rebecca E. 9/12 OH
So if Rebecca was Turner's mom she was born in Ohio.
Of more interest is who is living next door to them in 1850:
VAUGHN, Vincent 73 VA
Elizabeth 66 VA
Catherine 32 VA
I really think this might be your line but it needs further investigation.
