Newberry/Orangeburg SC, HUMPHRIES-TURNER
Looking for further info on the individuals in the following record:
Newberry Co., SC Deed Book A, p. 435: State of SC, Orangeburg Dist. Thomas TURNER and Mary TURNER have rec'd. of Thomas GIBSON Junr. and Ann GIBSON, one negro boy named Jack and sundry other articles, as their full portion of her deceased father's William Umphreys estate, 25 Aug. 1785. Signed: Thomas (X) TURNER, Mary (X) TURNER. Wit: Levi MANNING, John WATKINS. Proved by the oath of Levi MANNING, 4 June 1788.
Are the Thomas and Mary TURNER in the record above the same couple as Thomas TURNER, b. c1751 (SC?); d. c1845, Crawford Co., GA; m. 1st, Mary (--) (d. before 1800); m. 2nd Esther (--), who lived in Newberry Co. in the 1780s through the early 1800s?

3. Levi, d. 1883; m. 28 Jan. 1829, Jones Co., GA, Elizabeth SNEL(L)GROVE.
