Good Morning,
I am researching the surnames of MAY & TURNER. I have very sketchy information on the 2 families, and any help would be appreciated.
Francis Marion MAY (my G Grandfather). was supposedly born circa 1863 in Shelby County, TX. This information is from a delayed birth certificate for my Grandfather, Marion Milton May.
Francis Marion MAY married 1st Luella GRUES 07-26-1883 according to Houston County Marriage Records.
Supposedly, (according to family history) he had 3 children from this first marriage: Jack, Jesse and Caroline?(Belzie)?
Francis Marion MAY married 2nd Mary Elizabeth TURNER 08-05-1906 according to Houston County Marriage Records.
Had the following children:
1. William Hilton MAY: b. 01-22-1908 d. July 1980
2. Marion Milton May: b.05-03-1910 d. 08-03-1966
3. Francis Levy May: b.12-09-1911 d. Jan. 1981
4. Floyd Merritt May: 07-26-1913 d. 01-25-1965
Francis Marion MAY apparently died circa 1913...where/when???
Mary Elizabeth TURNER MAY then married William Pinkney HICKS 05-13-1916 according to Houston Co. Marriage Records.
Had the following children:
1. Ruby Lee HICKS:
2. Dovie HICKS
3. Robert Herman HICKS
Mary Elizabeth TURNER MAY HICKS was born 07-26-1892 Elkhart Houston Co., Tx. she died 08-17-1953 Conroe, Montgomery Co., TX. (This is my G-Grandmother)
Mary Elizabeth was the daughter of:
John TURNER and Virginia (Jennie) MOREHEAD who were married 03-05-1886 according to Houston Co. marriage records.
John TURNER & Jennie MOREHEAD children:
1. Irey TURNER
2. Ella L. TURNER b. 04-08-1897 d. 10-02-1964
married Riley HELMONTOLLER.
The big mystery of the family is F. M. MAY....who were his parents, when/where did he die, where is he buried?
What happened to the children of his first marriage: Jack, Jessie, Caroline/Belzie?
Any info on the John TURNER or Jennie MOREHEAD families would also be appreciated.
According to family stories:
1. Irey TURNER was a WWI vet. He died around Corrigan, supposedly over a dog fight. A man hit him over the head with a hoe....
2. Belzie MAY married someone and they ran a "fishing business" near Coldsprings. My Dad visited them when he was a very young boy.
3. Jack or Jesse MAY worked for the border patrol. My Dad remembers him "dropping" in a couple of times when he was a kid.
I have pictures of the following people:
Francis Marion MAY, Mary Elizabeth TURNER, William Hilton MAY, Marion Milton MAY, Francis Levy MAY, Floyd Merritt MAY, Irey TURNER (and wife), Belzie MAY.
Any further information on the aforementioned would be greatly appreciated.
