Wininfred Duncan wed 12-14-1849 to Turner Joyner according to Harris family tree.

Note that in the following census records, though the numbers are accurately transcribed, some census takers did not write down their ages well or the Joiners did not report/record their ages well. Either that or Turner Joiner managed to get seven years younger between 1860 and 1870.

1850 census, Johnston NC, District 7

Turner Joiner, age 26, farmer, estate value 700, born NC (marked in state column "married")

Winnifred Joiner, age 32, born NC (marked in state column "Married"), checked as person over 20 who cannot read or write

next household is that of Zilpah Joiner, age 66, with children (also cannot read or write) Possibly Turner's mother?

 

1860 census, Johnston NC, Neuse River, post office: Beulah

Turner Joyner, age 56 (presume actually 36), farmer with real estate valued at 2250 and personal estate 7917 born NC

Winny, age 47 (presume actually 42), born NC

Sarah, age 7, born NC

Sarah Duncan, age 48, born NC (presumably Winnie's sister Sally, which suggests she never married)

 

1860 slave schedule, Johnston Co NC, east of Neuse River

Turner Joyner (on same page as Simon Aycock--see 1880 census) has 12 slaves

males ages 38, 12, 11, and 6. Females ages 31, 25, 10, 8, 5, 3, and two 1-year-olds.

Della Aycock, age 27, cook (white)

Turner Ward, 19, apprentice

Eulah Edgerton, age 5, granddaughter (implies Sarah married and Edgerton?)
