• Notes

  From Miles Files 9.0: 100's of Families from Virginia's Eastern Shore, from Charlemagne to the early 1900's Thomas was born circa 1645. Thomas deeded land as a gift on 3 March 1704 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Thomas Willson of Acc Co, planter, gave to Peter Turlingon of Acc Co, planter, 150 acres of land that Lt. Col. John West sold to Thomas Willson on 13 Jun 1691, for "a good competent decent substance & sufficient maintenance to be had, found & given by Peter Turlington" ... during the natural life of Thomas Willson ... and discharge all debts owed by Willson. The land was to go to Peter Turlington & Olive his "now" wife and to the longer liver of the two of them. Willson reserves the use of the house erected & now standing called by the name of the school house to live in ... (many details) and further ... for and in consideration of the good will love and affection I have & bear unto John Turlington youngest son of Peter Turlington by Olive his wife ... after death of Peter, then to his son John Turlington & if John dies without issue then to Thomas Turlington, second son of Peter by Olive his wife ... and for defect of such issue, then to Peter Turlington the "younger eldest" son of Peter & Olive his wife. Signed: Thomas [T] Willson. Witt: William Thomas Wilson Phillips & Jno. Washbourn. Recorded on 20 Mar 1704. According to Whitelaw, this was part of tract A64 (which is east of US 13 between Melfa and Onley). Their son John is believed to have been the husband of Mary (Phillips) Turlington and if so, the two parts became merged. No record of the death of either of them was found, but a William Turlington was the next owner of record, and in 1781 he (wife Anne Mary) left to his sons Peter and William. In 1784 Peter Turlington (wife Leah) left his part to his son John and also mentioned a daughter Rachel. In 1785 William Turlington left his interest to his nephew John and niece Rachel. She married James East and in 1797 the 120 acres of William Turlington land were divided between Rachel East and her brother John. The John Turlington part of the plantation became know as Hickory Hill and when last noted was still owned by Turlington heirs..1 He made a will on 8 May 1707 at Accomack Co, VA. To Peter Turlington, Sr. To his son Peter Turlington. To Mary Turlington. To Thomas Turlington. To John Turlington. To Mamefield Turlington. Witt: John Spiers, John Simcock..2 Thomas died before 4 November 1707 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that his will was probated..
