Henry Turner, Margaret Campbell's 1st Boyfriend
Margaret Campbell at 16yrs.met Henry Turner in Ozark,MO and fell in love and agreed to marry him, however;he was Confederate and her family were Union Sympathizers and so she was moved with their family to Knox Co, MO in the NE corner of State and Henry Turner returned to his regiment and was never heard from again. I am posting this so his family might have a tintype of him at that time.
Date & Place: at Ozark Arkansas Border in Ozark, Christian County, Missouri USA

So neat that you know the story . . . even neater that you shared the photo for his family! Have you ever tried to find out if he survived the war? I want an ending to the story! lol
I have tried, however; since he served for the Confederacy the US Gov has no records. However, I can tell you she did not marry until October 15, 1871 when she married Eben Averill from Maine, but who was then serving in 1870 census as a Private, Co. C, 3rd Inf.at the age of 24. They were just a year apart in age and she obviously still liked the military look. He was from a family of clerics/preachers and has a relative who is also an author on staff at Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas. My book ANNE which will be published next year will contain more details.
I have a Henry Turner in my bloodline who was born in Missouri and lived in the Ozark area (we still have family in that region). My Henry Turner was born to John Milton Turner and Mary Ellen McManama in 1861; and later moved to Clark County, Missouri (North East of the state). I'll have to check with my great-aunt to see if she has any information. Great picture!!
These are the exact areas the Campbells lived before homesteading in Central Kansas. Very likely the same family. I have read that Missourians were torn even within families with their own allegiance during the Civil War and this was probably that kind of situation.
Wonderful picture and story! Thank you so much for sharing. If this is our Henry Turner, son of Milton and Mary Ellen Turner, he did survive the war and married Josephine Carmen. He lived to be about 86 years old in Missouri.

I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :)
I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Director). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in Campbell (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our current Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here. If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
