Anna Turpin was born 25 Dec 1852 in Illinois (or Indiana according to the 1856 Iowa Census). At a young age, she married Will Turpen who was about 25 years old. They married 10 March 1868 in Greene County, Iowa.
When Will first came to Greene County from Owen County, Indiana, he reportedly lived with his Uncle Nate. I believe Uncle Nate is actually Newt. Robert Newton Turpin was known as Newt -- many in the Turpin family were known by their middle name or a nickname.
Will is almost definitely the son of Jim Turpen and his wife Nancy Jane Carter who followed the Turpin clan from Owen County, Indiana to Greene County, Iowa. Their son Will was born in 1844. Anna's husband Will would have been born approximately 1843-44. This would make Anna and Will first cousins.
