Info - John 69 and wife, Mary 66 Turner; 1850 Census, Decatur County TN

Question

Ultimate goal is to determine if the B.F. Turner child living in the household of John 69 and Mary 66 Turner in Decatur, County TN in 1850 could be the later Benjamin Franklin Turner, married to Melissa Jane Brawley.  The age of B F Turner in 1850 is within three years of Benjamin Franklin's birth of 1847.There is also a 15 year old Turner male and a 14 year old female with the last name including West Turner.  Note:  There is a West family living next to them.  Could a girl at 14 have married a boy of 15?  And where did this family go?  Where is John and Mary Turner buried?  Where did they come from?

I think you mean the 1850 census. The 1950 census has not come out yet.
