Notes for William Turner: William Turner's estate was settled in 1846. Apparently his real estate was left to his wife Elizabeth. Documents in Lawrence County Courthouse, Lawrence, Monticello MS, Succession box 9/10 are about the distribution of the real estate after Elizabeth's death in Feb. 1855. It boils down to Wilson Turner and Uriah Harveston arguing over what should be done with the land and administratorship of the estate. Apparently William and Elizabeth raised Uriah and he came back to take care of Elizabeth and the property. He wanted the land, said she gave it to him and Wilson wanted to sell the land. One statement made in the course of the argument was the "listing the heirs of William Turner would be like writing genealogical tables for the tribes of Israel after their captivity and dispersion." William and Elizabeth Turner migrated to Mississippi and settled in Lawrence Co., near the Franklin Co. line (present day Lincoln Co.) william turner died 1 Sep 1844. Elizabeth Turner died in the early part of 1855. William and Elizabeth Turner did not have any children. They reared a grand nephew, Uriah Harveston. son of Rachel (Parker) Harveston. They must have reared several children; at the time of William Turner's death they had six bedsteads in their household. Rachel (Parker) Harveston married 2nd a Peacock. Uriah Harveston became a Baptist Preacher. Religion: Baptist Occupation: Farmer |
