Witnesses, John House and William Robison.  Volume 5 page 290 American Compendium of Genealogy says John Jones 
b 1742, d 1824, son of John Jones I, married Elizabeth Elrod, b 1751, died 1843, daughter of Robert Elrod and 
Sarah (Scott) Wilson Elrod.

PDE remarked: "From the above it seems that either Roger Turner Jr and wife were dead or his wife had remarried 
a Baker, since Robert Turner's wife was a child of Robert Elrod.
