Comments

The significance of the date, 1867, is the Reconstruction Era. It shows that John S. [Sugars] Turner was found qualified as a voter in the "Rebel States." Turner was the second husband of Ann "Nannie" Jane Conway. Ann was the oldest child of James Sevier Conway, the first governor of Arkansas. - Melissa Nesbitt
