From Bob’s Genealogy Filing Cabinet at www.genfiles.com:
Turner Bynum (c1775 – 1830s) He was apparently one of the two males under 16 in his father’s 1790 household, and the male 16-26 in his father’s 1800 household. He apparently married after 1800, though there is no bond in Lincoln County. The 1810 census of Lincoln County shows him evidently living on his inherited land adjacent William Bynum, with four apparent children.
Turner Bynum evidently moved to Tennessee in company with related families from Lincoln County, where he appears in the 1820 Giles County census and the 1830 Weakley County census. In 1820 he is two names from two sons of David Abernathy of Lincoln County, North Carolina and in 1830 is near several other related Abernathys of Lincoln County. A letter written by Turner Bynum’s brother-in-law Robert Abernathy of Lincoln County, North Carolina to his brother Joseph Abernathy in 1841 speaks of his son Rufus Abernathy “passing by Turner Bynam’s family in Tennessee. Turner Bynum appears on tax lists in Weakley County from 1829 through 1833, but apparently died about 1833. In 1840, Nancy Bynum, presumably his widow, and Thomas Bynum are listed consecutively in the census.
