Liza, I'm researching the Turnpaugh line from PA/MD/NJ and believe the immigrant ancestor to my MD line is the brother of your John Andrew Turnbo/Turnbough, Christopher Dornbach/Turnpaugh. I would like to correspond with you and invite you to my Facebook group. Kate
We're likely not cousins. My ancestors come from the Carolinias. Samual & john are the earliest I've found. Jake Painter is probably the most famous from his days as a miller, blacksmith,but mostly gunsmith in Springfield. He custom made pistols and rifles that went out West. Some we stamped "Jake's Best" Wild Bill Cody used to come by his shop. Jake repaired rifles for the Union Army when it was there. He married the daughter of American Revolution soldier William Freeman. William is buried at the National Cemetery at Springfield.
