Notes
- "Essie (Campbell) Lee identified Susie Turner as Peter´s first wife and Zin or Zene Turner, born in Germany, as Susie´s father. Mrs Lee also stated the `'He (Zene Turner) married Margaret in Mississippi. She died near Jackson....'´´
-- Christian Family History, by Harold K Christian (unpublished), p. 6
"... since Susan´s parents, Zene and Margaret Graham Turner are reported to have been living near Jackson, MS during the 1850-1860 time period and since the Cass County TX birth record for Bart´s son Thomas reported Bart´s place of birth to be Jackson, MS, it appears Susan was staying with her parents at the time of Bart´s birth."

If our family reconstruction here is correct, it seems likely that Susan Turner Christian died in childbirth of daughter Barby and son James, who appear to be twins, in 1859.
