ADELPHIA TURNER, the 9th of Rev. John Turner's family, was born
in Henry county, Va., Jan. 24, 1821. Naturally heroic and grand, grew up
to womanhood amid toil and romance; had a brilliant mind and similar to
John Q. Adams, her "memory was an index." About 1838 she married John Young,
of Floyd county, Va. He was truly one of "God's noblemen." They made a
good living; there were born to them about 8 children. They are widely
scattered over several states. He was a Confederate soldier, serving the

children, were members of the Missionary Baptist church. She died at Tallula,
Illinois, March 11, 1900 age 79 years. Mr. Young died at St. Louis, Mo.,
