This book has concentrated on the descendants of Hugh Turnbough and Andrew Jackson Turnbo. There are numerous Turnbow/Turnbo families In Texas who are "distant kinfolk’s" to our family. Several years ago, Mrs. Olive Stone published a book entitled, "Turnbow-Turnbough Family of U.S.".

  This extensive book deals with many lines of the family and lists some of those who are the subject of my book.

  On August 20, 1977, the writer contacted Mrs. Stone who graciously consented to allow some of her material to be used in this book. We agreed that our aim was to make this information available to other family members who in turn might wish to undertake further research.

  Those listed in this section were taken from Mrs. Stone's book and credit for all of the following information is given to her and her contributors.
