Jerry,
According to the Gwinnett Historical Society's database on deaths in the county, there was a Jonathan Turner who died there 20 Apr 1857. This record comes not from a gravestone in a cemetery but from the book MARRIAGES AND DEATHS IN SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE 1837-1860 by Brent H. Holcomb (Easley, SC: Southern Historical Press, 1979). In the GHS database, it is noted that Jonathan died in Lawrenceville when he was about 60 years old. It sounds like your Jonathan Turner.
It doesn't appear to me that the family lived for any length of time in Gwinnett County. They weren't living there in 1840, 1850, or 1870, not that I can see. Mariah and her daughters were living in Cains District in 1860 though, which is near the border of Gwinnett County and Hall/Jackson Counties. Maybe the family lived in one of those counties in other years.
There is only one marriage record that might be a Turner daughter, going by names as well as time frame. Almost every Turner lady listed in the Gwinnett Historical County marriages book (1833-1900) married either before 1860 or after 1885. There was however an E. Turner who married D. Shadwick on 5 Sept 1865. Maybe she was Emily or Eliza.
