Chris,

Can you look this up in your records for me?

In Compilation #328 (Packwood 3) under the descendants of Exonia Packwood.
There appears to be a mixup between the chilldren of Nancy Jefferson Gearhart
and Nancy's brothers and sisters.  Both groups have the same first name, same
birthdates and same spouses (only their last name changes).  Something must
not be correct here. Your help would be appreciated.

David

The following note accompanied the Caroline County, VA Order Book copies
sent to me by Jeanette O'Boyle.  My fervent thanks to her!  Like David
Jones, I concede that this truly is the correct lineage for Shadrach and
"Old" James Turner of Bedford Co., VA  It appears that they were indeed
brother's and this lineage  apparently originated in Cornwall, England.  If
anyone has evidence that disproves this, speak!!!  My thanks to Nyla Creed,
David Jones, and so many others who have contributed files.  Thank You,
Jeanette!, I'll have a letter out to you by US mail.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Enclosed are the copies of the Caroline County, Virginia, Order Book which I
promised to send. A11 other county records were destroyed during the Civil
War and the Order Book is all that remains.
In the first record, dated 12 November 1736, old Richard is deeding land to
his sons, Lewis, John, and James. These records are usually recorded in age
order so Lewis would be the youngest and James the oldest. At this time in
Virginia English law is in effect and only the oldest inherits when the
father dies. All other children were given their inheritance by the father
before his death. Since the order book does not include a copy of the will
only the males and one daughter is mentioned. On 12 May 1738 Richard Turner
acknowledges his son, Richard, Jr.
On 8 October 1742 the last will of Richard Tumer, Sr., is presented to the
court by his wife, Elizabeth. It is acknowledged that Richard, Jr., is the
heir. It also states that as next oldest, James is eligible to be executor
but he renounces so wife Elizabeth can be. On 11 March 1743, a new order on
the will is presented. James Tumer is now named heir at law and Lewis Tumer
and Margaret Turner are named executors. Both Elizabeth and Richard, Jr.,
must have died (Richard, Jr., leaving no heirs) so James is now named. The
next oldest alive, Lewis, and sister Margaret are named executors. Son John
would have been dead at this time or he would have been named an executor
before Margaret. A male son would never have been passed over to name a
daughter. Women under English law had very few rights.
The next order of business listed in the Order Book dated 11 Jan 1745 was
the naming of guardians for the children of John (so we think). Apparently
their mother has just died and they have no parents or guardians. Shadrack
was the oldest and apparently was sixteen or older and needed no guardian.
Since Shadrack was not mentioned the question is raised is this the right
family? While there are at least two Shadrack Tumers there are only one
Meshack and one Abednego. For this reason I would say that this is the right
Turner family.
Now all the guardians would be relatives. James Turner's children and Lewis
Turner's children both have used Meadows as a given name for their children
so the guess would be that the mother of James and Lewis would be a Meadows.
I have not run across the name of Pemberton in any of my Turner research so
the assumption could be made that the mother of Shadrack, Meshack, and
Abednego was related to the Pembertons, possibly her maiden name was
Pemberton. There is no proof of this that I know of.
Lastly, l am enclosing a copy of the King and Queen County, Virginia, 1704
substitute tax roll. This lists Richard Turner. Caroline County was cut from
King and Queen County in the 1730s. Note, however, that there is another
Tumer listed in King and Queen. However, since the oldest son was Richard,
Jr., it can be assumed that Richard, Sr.? was the son of a Richard Turner,
according to the English naming scheme that the Turners followed at this
time
