Notes:

Excerpt from Pritchard Kin regarding tombstones:
"On 23 August 2004, Jo and I tried to visit Thomas and Mourning Turlington's graves. We were accompanied by Mr. Newman Smith and later joined by Tad Jackson. Both guides grew up nearby and had visited the cemetery many times in their youth. Mr. Smith said he was eighty-three. Tad said he was seventy-three. Tad Jackson said he last visited the cemetery about thirty to forty years ago. Our mother described the cemetery location in her book (Tombstone Inscriptions, p. 51).

Alas, the cemetery has been obliterated. The location is now an irrigated cornfield. It is not far from a tributary to Limestone Creek. (Strick Newsom-February 2005)."

> Accomack Orders 1703-1710
5 December 1705--Col. William Custis issued a warrant against Peter Turlington upon the complaint of Edward Bagwell (Indian), who claimed that on 9 September, a Sabbath day, he was in ye house of Thomas Wilson, peaceably and quietly. Ye said Peter Turlington did come into ye said house and immediately there did beat, bruise and batter the complainant with several blows on his jaw. Custis ordered that Thomas Willson, Henry Lewis and Straton Burton be summoned as witnesses; they testified that Turlington did strike [Bagwell] several blows upon ye Sabbath day, which ye said Peter Turlington confessed. Custis then ordered Turlington to appear at the next court. Now he appeared and denied the matter, saying he was assaulted and acted in self defense. Since no contrary evidence appeared, the court discharged Turlington, who was to pay all charges that accrued in the matter. (p. 55, 55a)
