I am still in Isle of Wight, VA records. Lots of Turners had their start
in this county for when doing the NC records, they often referred back to I
of W, VA.

1793 Mathew Turner gave surety for Wm Bennet and Ann Edwards to marry.

1800 Mathew Turner left will naming, Nancy Brown from Surry county,
married 12/14/1789 and children Josiah, Willis, Patsey, Unborn. Witnesses
were Parr, Joe Moody, William turner, his brother. Brother Jesse dies in
same year anad father dies also in this year.

1776 Mathew Turner purchases 100 acres from Whestray of Bertie co, NC.

1785 Mathew Turner ...not sure of my abstract but note says Joshua Turner
signs off on account estate. Write for record if your relative.

1789 Mathew Turner married Nancy Brown, recorded by Rev. Hubbard at
Newport.

1789 Mathew Turner estate report filed by Kinchen Turner. children are
Martha, Nancy, Elizabeth, John, Sally.

1792 Mathew Turner married Elizabeth Saunders with surety given by Elias
Saunders, Parent Sarah Saunders.

1800 Mathew Turner left will naming Joisah, Willis, Patsey, unborn child.
Same as above but I must have found in two ways and typed both in.

surety put up by William Goodrich. Married by Rev. Hubard.

1683 Richard Turner witnessed the will of Ann Richards. Names in will are
gson robert Bevans, Madison Street is mentioned as is John Street. Wm

sister Sarah with Henry Turner, cousin. Also cousin George Madison, John,

Martha Whitley, Sister Ann Smith, cousin Sarah Smith, d of John. Turners,
Whitley, Street are all mixed in this group but watch dates.

1790 Sarah Turner married William Whitley by Wills, a Methodist minister.

Note above Sally also married Wm Whitley. I think we are looking at the

is nickname for Sarah.
