Mary Jane Turner, she married there in Edwards Co. to William Duncan. They stayed there and died there, and are buried at a cemetery in or close to Salem and Mt Carmel. I went there once but couldn't find their graves. I have their marriage record also their death records. But it is her brother that is my gr-grand father, McDonald Turner, he came to Pope Co.
