- WILLIAM J. TURNER was born in Woodford County, March 25, 1821, the only
son of William and Rebecca (Dean) Turner, natives respectively of
Culpeper County, Va., and Jessamine County, Ky. William Turner was born
November 24, 1787, came to Woodford County when quite small with his
father, Alexander, and died in 1844. James Dean and Patience (Holeman)
Dean, the maternal grandparents of William J. Turner, natives of North
Carolina and of English descent, were among the early settlers of
Kentucky, and found it necessary to go into Craig's station in order to
protect themselves from the depredations of the Indians. They afterward
settled in Jessamine County. James Dean was a soldier in the
Revolutionary war. William J. Turner was reared on a farm, received a
good common-school education, and was married, May 16, 1844, to Miss
Bettie E., daughter of James D. and Nancy (Combs) Carpenter, natives of
Woodford County. Of the children born to this union six are living:
Albert H., Mattie A., John D., William T., James C. and Lizzie H.; four
others have died, viz.: Nancy J., James W. S., Fanny R. and Lou Emma.
Mr. Turner is a thriving farmer, and the owner of 413 acres in the Sixth
Precinct. He is a member of the Christian Church at Mortonville. -
