Turner P. Clark was the son of Samuel and Susan (Masters) Clark. He and his brother Amos were identical twins, the youngest children of a large family. Most lived in either Meriwether or Henry County in Georgia.
During the War, Turner and three of his brothers volunteered, two in Co. K of the 22nd Georgia Inf. Regt. and two in Co. E of the 28th. Amos joined the former while his twin Turner joined the latter. In the first part of the War, both regiments fought in many of the same battles--Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, etc.
On February 20, 1864, at Olustee (Ocean Pond) near Jacksonville, Florida, Turner was wounded in his right breast and paralyzed in his right arm. He spent some time recuperating in a hospital, but afterwards, though he was somewhat disabled, returned to his regiment. He surrendered with Co. E, 28th Georgia, following the battle of Bentonville, North Carolina, on April 26, 1865.
Turner married Martha Ann Clark, daughter of Henry G. and Nancy (Ray) Clark, and the couple had nine children: Alice, William, Leroy, George, Nancy, Charles, Luther, Hardy, and Mary. Turner lived in Meriwether County after the War while his twin Amos lived in Henry County.
