   My TURNER line originally was a GODWIN line.  William Godwin was 14 when 
   he was drafted into the English Army.  While he and a few other young 
   boys were trapped near the Irish Sea and cut off from their unit.  They
   made their way to a port and jumped on a ship bound for America.  William
   changed his name from Godwin to Turner in hopes of never being caught for 
   desertion.  He left behind a $30,000 (English Pounds)Estate that none of
   his children could claim due to being born under the name Turner.
