Claiborne County Pioneer Project
- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ccpp/names/t/turner_tyson.htm
- Lists a Jemimah Turner married to a William Cox. No other information is given, but the following was received in response to an email inquiry to the operators of the site:
We appreciate your inquiry! We have William Cox & Jemima Turner Cox as the parents of Barthena Cox who was married to Green Berry Cloud who is buried in the Cloud Cemetery in Tazewell, Claiborne Co., TN. We have further info for them upon request if you are interested but that's all that we have for William & Jemima Cox.
- http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~tnclaibo/pioneer/names/t/t7.htm - Lists both Elizabeth and Jemimah along with their respective spouses.
Chadwell history
- http://www.rowlandsva.com/files/Download/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20CHADWELLSTATION.pdf
- Describes a David Chadwell married to an Elizabeth Turner, who's sister, Jemima (presumably really a sister-in-law) married a William Cox in Lee Co. Virginia before 1785. This history describes David Chadwell as acquiring land in Lee County and "adjoining" Claiborn County, Tennessee. This would seem to make the inclusion of William Cox and his wife in the database of the Claiborn County Pioneers site listed above. Henry County also plays a prominent role in this history.
- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyborn/chadwell.html - Gives the father of Elizabeth Ann Turner as John Turner and provides some further detail regarding Elizabeth.
- http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~enchantedworld/Chadwell/George-1709.pdf - Gives the father of Elizabeth Ann Turner as Jesse Turner and provides some further detail regarding Elizabeth.
- http://www.usgennet.org/family/baicon/data/fam15378.htm - Chimes in with Jesse
