Josephine,
I can add that Joseph and Annie were also in Buncombe County NC 1820-30, before Yancey was taken (partially) out of it.I also believe (without proof) they were in Clay County KY 1810 (census) and 1811 (tax list), living near the Adoniram Allen "set" of Allens.
In case you have not yet learned, Annie was the dau of Abraham Rogers Turner and wife Sarah Black Turner who married 1784 Caswell County NC. Annie's sister, Mary Turner, married John Allen who also lived in Yancey County.No proof that Joseph and John were related to each other.I have been trying to find the daus of Annie and Joseph for years without success.You'd think someone would have a family tradition of an ancestor marrying an Allen woman.
Hope this helps.
