EV. STEPHEN TURNER belonged to the North Carolina and Virginia Conference. He was born in Warren county, North Carolina, and died about the year 1841. This year the Conference was held at Apple's church in Guilford county, North Carolina, and a record is made of his having died. In his early ministry he was associated doubtless with Thomas Reeves, James Warren, and James O'Kelly, the founder of the Church. The first record we have of his attending a Conference or General Meeting is that at Kedar in Warren county, North Carolina, in 1833. But it is quite certain also that he was at one or both of the General Meetings at Raleigh in 1807 and 1808. He attended the General Meeting at New Providence in 1834, but was not reported as having a charge or stationed on a circuit. He likewise attended the Conference at New Providence in 1837; and, in 1840, he was present at the Conference at Union meeting house, in Orange (now Alamance) county. This was the last Conference that he ever attended. [76]
