Notes
In his will, dated 1 Nov 1762, John Turner gave a piece of land on the south side of the Smith River to his daughters Jemima and Mary and mentions that he formerly resided there. It is hard to place exactly where this was, but based on the description that the land was about a mile below the mouth of Goblintown Creek, it would seem that the land was located just south-east of the Goose Point Recreation Area in an area that has been part of the Philpott Lake ever since the Philpott Dam was constructed in the mid-1900's. This is to the north-west of modern Henry County, Virginia, and some excellent maps relating to land ownership when the dam was being planned are extent, but in deteriorating condition at the Bassett Historical Center, which is one of the better genealogical resources.
The land was originally patented by David Hailey on 10 Sep 1755. John bought this land from David Hailey on 20 Jan 1757, so he would not have lived there long, unless he lived there before buying the land. John, as mentioned, willed it to his daughters Jemima and Mary. Jemima married William Cox, and together, they sold the land to one Carr Bailey on 28 Oct 1779. Carr Bailey and Mary Turner sold the land to David Chadwell on 24 Nov 1779.
