Lambert Harvey Turner Govan Family Legacy
Up From Slavery
Hello Cousins. Our family continues to make a difference in the community and lives of our neighbors. Please click on the picture below to read more detail on how cousin Charlene Turner-Johnson is making a difference everyday in Highland Park, Michigan.
Gwinnett County, Georgia’s newest Magistrate! Well done cousin Judge!
So Sad to announce family that one of our warriors has gone to meet the ancestors. Jimmie T. Jones Sr. transitioned on November 20, 2022 in Chicago, IL. Jimmie was the son of Ossie Belle Harvey. This man spent countless hours researching the history of the family and published his findings in the Elrod-Jones-Harvey-Lambert Families of Fayette and Hardeman Counties book. The book can be found in both the Harold Washington Library in Chicago and the Benjamin Hooks Library in Memphis. He will be missed at the family reunions! Rest well Jimmie and we will carry on!
Another family member has gained her wings. Chesteyna Mosby Turner of Memphis, TN and daughter of Ida Lee Lambert, mother to cousin Trudy Turner passed away on October 17, 2022. Homegoing services will be held on Saturday, October 29th at Christ Missionary Baptist Church, 494 South Parkway West. Memphis TN 38106 at 12:30pm. Viewing begins at 11:00am. Arrangements are being done by N.J. Ford & Sons Funeral Home, 12 South Parkway West, Memphis TN 38109.
Our prayers of comfort go out to the family. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

We will next meet in our ancestral home of MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE IN 2024. GET READY!
