As a follow up to the other persons response there was an Isabel Storie
(Story) who appears in the census in 1850 (Rossie) - 1860 (Town of Rossie-
Somerville) and 1870 (Town of Rossie- Wegatchie) Her places of residence are
similar to those of the Turnbull Family. Her date of birth of Abt 1795/1796
fits in with the 1795 date of birth of Isabel Turnbull.

I also wanted to inform you, if you did not already know, that Lillian Mae
Turnbull (Mackenzie) of Dekalb Junction, died on 25 Dec 2006 at the age of
85. She was the wife of Arthur Turnbull. If you have any questions please
feel to email me. Take care.
