13. William R 1874 ** died 9-18-1943 Leslie @ in house 1880; Taylor Brown says he (Ran) lived Greasy Creek in Leslie County. He is mentioned in a ruling of the KY Court of Appeals 1-20-1944 Duff vs Fordson Coal Co:
John 'Rooster' Turner, a son of Abner, pointed out the beginning corner of the 600‑acre patent to Queens and to Dixon. Ran Turner, a brother of John, testified that John showed him this beginning corner some 25 or 30 years ago; and Bowling testified that Ran pointed out this beginning corner to him. Appellant directs attention to the fact that Ran Turner had been convicted of a felony and insists that this should discredit him as a witness. Ran appears to be a bold character, boastfully proclaiming from the witness stand: 'I have 'snagged', 'sanged' (dug herbs), squirrel hunted and been hunted around there for 25 years and have been convicted of a felony right at this place twice.'

*1870 Harlan lists Jane age 9, 1880 Clay lists Ginny age 17. They are very likely the same person (Jenny is sometimes used as a nickname for Jane). Jane is shown as the wife of Zachariah Jackson (b 1865 married 20 yrs) in 1900 Jackson (Sturgeon page 1). They are parents of Emma who married Zach Estridge (son John & Phoebe). The transcription of Jackson County Cemeteries incorrectly lists her as Jane Estridge Jackson. Daughter Emma's obit gives her name as Jane Turner. .
