Individual Details
Hansboro Bell Turney
(October 7, 1851 - January 11, 1917)
"H. B. Turney married Mary Woods, 29 January 1871." (Coryell County, Texas Marriage Record Book C, page 213.)
R. M. Clayton, an early settler in Coleman County, Texas, assigned a land patent of 80 acres to Bell Turney, son of Moses M. Turney, for a span of grey mules for a trip to Arizona. John Houston, and wife, Mosetta (Turney) Davis, and a sister of Bell Turney, moved onto this place in May 1879, lived there for one year, after which Bell Turney occupied the place. The first church in Glen Cove was a little log house, about 10 x 12 feet, built on the Bell Turney place. It had one door, and one log left off for a window. The benches were split logs with peg legs. Everyone carried guns all the time at Glen Cove, and stacked them at the door when they entered the house. The Indians made raids in other localities and "preparedness" was the watchword.
Many of the children of Moses M. Turney were in Coleman County at one time or another, but only the Hansboro Bell Turney and Mosetta (Turney) Davis families are known to have stayed any length of time.
H. B. (also known as Hansboro Bell or Bell) stayed at Glen Cove until 1904 when he bought land in the Whon, County County area and moved there.
