  	John, his wife Maria, and children moved in 1832 to Crawford County, Pennsylvania. John was one of founders of Spring & Cussawago Baptist Church. In 1843 the family settled near Belvidere, Boone, Illinois, and in 1846-1850 in Florence Twp., Stephenson Co., Illinois. The family moved to Illinois in two covered wagons, carrying simple household furniture, a trunk full of victuals, the parents and 8 children. John Turrneaure's big house of quarried limestone, built in 1855 in Florence Twp. is still standing. When Lincoln and Douglas held their debate in Freeport, Illinois, John, who had the finest carriage in the area, drove Lincoln from the railroad station to the debate site. Some 20 or 25 years later the Lincoln carriage was destroyed when the barn of Maria and John's son Albert burned in Dickinson County Iowa. In 1869 John and Maria, with their two unmarried children George and Peter and a married son, Harrison, moved to Clinton, Wisconsin
