Scotty Martin, at left, and children Katye and Jeffrey took a Sunday Labor Day weekend road trip to see ancestors in the Turner Cemetery. Jeffrey has been collecting and sharing information about family and the Turner line traces back from his Dad's mother, Eugenia Leftwich Martin, to the original Joe and Nancy Turner who settled in this home when they came west. the home pictured stood between the cemetery and Burns Creek near its confluence with Crocus Creek where it goes under the Melson Ridge Road bridge. The home was cleaned up and the lawn manicured by Grace Turner for a reunion in the 80s before it was burned down by vandals. The picture was taken by Mike Watson who wrote about it in 2015.

Walking across a county in an hour 2020-09-08 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Just south of the Breeding Country Store, you find yourself entering Metcalfe County.
