Biography

Horseman John Turnbaugh served with Turkey Creek Regiment, South Carolina Militia during the American Revolution.

John was born about 1735. John Turnbaugh ... He passed away about 1830. ^[1]

His wife Margaret may have been a Coffee instead of a Clairborne (Mary Margaret B. Coffee)

Sons Andrew and James married sisters Grace and Felicia Coffee respectively.

John Andrew Turnbaugh’s nickname was “Old John“. Born some time between 1725 and 1740 in the Alsace region (AKA Alsaace, Alsace-Loraine, Alsace-Lorraine) of Germany or France (The region has belonged to both Germany and France at different times). He immigrated to the New World, possibly with his brother. Some say that the family did not come to Greenville County until about 1785 and was in Pennsylvania prior to that date, though it is believed that John Turnbough owned land in old Craven County, South Carolina in 1768. John Turnbow received a Royal Land Grant in the 96th District, where he purchased 150 acres from the Crown on 13 September, 1774 on the waters of the Renkey Creek, in South Carolina. In 1775, John Turnbow fought in the Revolutionary War from SC. John Turnbow fought for the American Revolution in 1781 from South Carolina. He served in the Revolutionary War from Chester District, South Carolina, probably as a horseman (horseman duty) under Col. Edward Lacey in Captain Samuel Adams Company. David L. Casey says of John Turnbow: "He immigrated to the New World in the 18th century, and probably participated in the Revolutionary War as a horseman. Documents in my possession (copies) show that he was employed and compensated by one of the armies (unclear if it was British or the American Army)for his duties, and was paid in 'Pounds, Shillings, and Pence.'" (Source: David L. Casey) It is said he served three terms in Captain Samuel Adams' Company from Chester County, South Carolina. Some have thought that the John Turnbow who served in Captain Samuel Adams' Company possibly was John Turnbow Jr., son of John and Margaret. John Jr. would have been about 18 years old in 1781. John Turnbow served 114 days in the Revolutionary War on hoorseman's duty in the South Carolina Militia in 1781.

• Around 1785 it is believed that the family moved from Chester County, South Carolina, to Greenville County, South Carolina.
• He lived 1786 in Greenville County, South Carolina. A John Turnbow was found purchasing a 323 acre tract of land on the Enorci River in District 96, in the state of South Carolina.
• He also lived 1790 in Greenville County, South Carolina. The U.S. Census shows that John Turnbough lived 1790 in Greenville County, South Carolina. This 1790 Census for Greenville County, South Carolina was inscribed by Robert Maxwell, 10 April 1791. In this Census, it shows that John Turnbough, his wife, and seven sons lived in the household. These sons are believed to have been Isaac, George, Joseph, Jacob, Samuel, Andrew, and James. In the same Census, but separate households is listed William Turnbow (page 88), and John Turnbow (page 88), believed to be the two eldest sons of John and Margaret. The seven sons living with John and Margaret, and the two sons living in their own respected households, accounts for nine sons. The tenth son Hugh had died as an infant in 1777. Thus all the sons of John and Margaret are believed accounted for in 1790. William Turnbow, eldest son of John and Margaret, in 1790 is listed as living with three females, and one male under the age of 16. It is difficult to ascertain who these are. It is believed that William was married to Jane Gilbreath by 1791, but their known children are not born until after 1791, so this may mean that William and Jane had three daughters and one son by 1790, or it could mean that William was married before he met Miss Jane Gilbreath, and by this first wife maybe had three daughters and one son before 1790. Jane Gilbreath is believed to have been only 15 years old in 1790, which would make her probably too young to have given birth to 4 children prior to 1790. A third possibility is that this William Turnbow could have been a brother, cousin, or nephew of John Turnbow Sr., though this is only speculation.

In the book 'The Texas Turnbows' by Charles A. Turnbo, with source from Richard A. Clifford, it is assumed that the boy living with William may have been an eleventh son of John and Margaret, and thus a little brother of William Turnbow, though this may be speculation as the name of an eleventh son has never been recorded. However, if this is the correct theory, then possibly one of the girls listed with William Turnbow may have been Elizabeth Turnbow, daughter of John and Margaret, and thus the sister of William Turnbow. Could this be the case? We may never know. John Turnbow Jr., son of John and Margaret, in 1790 is listed as living with three females, believed to be his wife, the former Miss Barbara Ann Robinson, and their two daughters Mary and Nancy. Also note that according to the 1790 Census, that within all three Turnbough/Turnbow household of Greenville County, South Carolina, none owned slaves at this time.

• It is assumed that in 1793, the family lived in Greenville County, South Carolina, due to a deed made 2 September, 1793 and recorded 9 December, 1793 for land from William Savage to William Turnbaugh, who was probably the eldest son of John and Margaret) in Greenville County, South Carolina.(Source: Deed Book C, Page 365-367) It is said that in 1793, John Turnbough's lands boarder that of John Savage, William Savage, and John Gilbreath.
• The family traveled westward into the French Broad Valley of East Tennessee and Knoxville in 1794.
• John and Margit sold there land in Greenville County, South Carolina, 17 April 1794.
• In 1795, the family moved to Washington County, Kentucky. Actually John and his son Jacob are found on the 1794 tax list for Washington County, Kentucky. Isaac Turnbough was on the 1794 tax list for Washington County, Kentucky. This is the first record connecting Isaac to the family.
• In 1796, the family moved south to Green County, Kentucky. In the 1796 Tax List for Green County, Kentucky, John Turnbough owned two horses and four head of cattle. The Tax List shows that John Turnbough and six of his sons moved to Green County, Kentucky in 1796. This included his sons George, Samuel, Joseph, Jacob, Andrew, and James.

The four sons that did not move to Green County, Kentucky were William, John, Isaac, and Hugh. Hugh Turnbough was already dead, so the only ones needing accounting for are William, John, and Isaac. They were probably the three eldest sons of John and Margaret.

• John Turnbough also lived in Green County, Kentucky in 1797, according to the Tax List, which states that he owned five horses at the time.
• There is no Tax List for the year 1798, but it is assumed John Turnbough lived in Green County, Kentucky in 1798.
• According to the Tax List he lived in Green County, Kentucky in 1799, and owned only one horse.
• By 1800, John Turnbough owns four horses again in Green County, Kentucky.
• John lived in Green County, Kentucky in 1801, and he owned two horses.
• In 1802, that part of Green County, Kentucky in which the family lived, was formed as Adair County, Kentucky. In this Tax List, the first one for the newly formed Adair County, Kentucky, John Turnbough had six horses, and lived on a 200 acre piece of land called Rupler.
• The 1803 Tax List for Adair County, Kentucky, has John Turnbough owning four horses.
• The 1804 Tax List for Adair County, Kentucky, has John Turnbough owning six horses.
• The 1805 Tax List for Adair County, Kentucky, has John Turnbough owning three horses.
• The 1806 Tax List for Adair County, Kentucky, has John Turnbough living on 200 acres at Russell C, and owning three horses. 'Russell C' probably means 'Russell Creek' which is located in an east-west orientation crossing the whole of middle of the county and crossing specifically through the City of Columbia. So it can probably be said that they lived near what is now Columbia, Kentucky. The City of Columbia was settled in 1802 by Daniel Trabue, and the post office was opened 1 April, 1806 by John Field.
• The 1807 Tax List for Adair County, has John living on 200 acres at Russell C, and owning five horses.
• The 1808 Tax List for Adair County, has John living on 195 acres at Russell C, and owning three horses. This probably means that sometime in late 1807 or early 1808, John sold 5 acres and two horses.
• By the time of the 1809 Tax List for Adair County, John still lives on the 195 acres at Russell C, but had to sell of his last two horses.
• According to the 1810 Census for Adair County, Kentucky, at Columbia, lived John Turnbow. This may be the first time John Turnbough is known as John Turnbow on any record. There is a Jacob Turnbow household and a John Turnbow household. What happened to George, Samuel, Joseph, Andrew, and James? According to the tax lists, John Turnbough Jr., did not move with his father John Turnbough Sr., to Green County, Kentucky, in the area that became Adair County, Kentucky. Thus the John Turnbow in the 1810 Census for Adair County, Kentucky is assumed to be John Turnbough Sr. In the household of John Turnbow on the 1810 Census there is one male between the age of 16 and 26, one male over the age of 45, and 1 female over the age of 45. This may represent John Turnbow Sr. or John Turnbow Jr. It has been thought that in 1810, all the children of John and Margaret were over the age of 16, but this is not for certain, so this John Turnbow could be either Sr. or Jr. I suspect that it was possibly John and Margaret with and unknown youngest son or most likely with a grandson. There is also a possibility that it could be John Jr. and his wife Barbara with their first son George Jacob Turnbow (born 1792), and would correspond with the fact that John and Barbara's two eldest daughters Margaret and Nancy were already married by 1810. It will take research to establish if the John Turnbow on the 1810 Census for Adair County, Kentucky is actually John Sr. or John Jr. The household of Jacob Turnbow on the 1810 Census for Adair County, Kentucky, contains two boys under age ten, one boy between the age of 26 and 45, three females under age ten, one female between the age of 10 and 16, and one female between the age of 26 and 45. Jacob Turnbow on the Census is thought to be his son Jacob Turnbough.
• The Turnbough/Turnbow family of Columbia, Kentucky did not own slaves in 1810. The section of the 1810 census that the Turnbow family were in is headed the following:

'Schedule of the whole number of persons within the division allotted to Daniel Trabue', Columbia Town, Adair County, Kentucky. It was in 1810 that Old John and his youngest son James left Adair County, Kentucky. James paid the 1810 taxes on Old John's 195 acre land grant property, so James was probably working his father's farm. Old John and his wife Margaret sold the above 195 acres on 20 August 1810.

• Jacob was the last Turnbough to leave Adair County in 1811.
• In the early years of the 19th century, John Turnbow may also have lived in Jefferson and Lincoln Counties of Kentucky.
• Joseph was taxed for property in 1811 and 1812, but was not living in the county.
• In 1810 John, living with his son James, moved from Adair County, Kentucky to Maury County, Tennessee.
• In the 1820 Census John is believed to be the old man living with his son James Turnbough in Maury County, Tennessee.

Death:

• John Turnbow died sometime between 1820 and 1846 at a place possibly called Fort Deer (or Fork Deer, Forked Deer, Deerfoot etc...) which may have been in Adair County, Kentucky, or else in Maury County, or Giles County, of Tennessee. It has been said that John Turnbow died at the age of 106 years, 11 days. A note received 31 August, 1999, says that John Turnbow was supposed to have been living with a grand daughter when he died and he did have a grand daughter in the area at the time so I assume the information is correct.
• John was also said to have been buried at Forked Deer.

To date, John has lived to be the oldest known Turnbow in America, living to be 106 years old. One research article states his father had the same name. John was born in the Alsace-Lorraine region of what was FRANCE at the time (but is now in Germany), with his name believed to be spelled at birth: T-u-r-n-b-e-a-u. As a young man, he migrated to the British colony of South Carolina. He served in the SC Militia, as a Horseman in the American Revolution, under the spelling T-u-r-n-b-o-u-g-h. John married Margaret B. Claiborne in 1760, in Greenville, SC. John & Margaret had 10 children, all sons, all believed to be born in Chester county, South Carolina. They were: William Eli (1761-1795), John (1763-1825), George (1766-1853), Isaac (1769-1829), Joseph (1771-1834), Jacob (1773-1796), Samuel L (1775-1845), Hugh (born 1777), Andrew (1779-1850) & James (1780-1826).

John's will showed that he raised sheep. He was granted a plantation in Chester County, South Carolina near Greenville in 1774. He was also deeded land there April 15, 1785. It is near what is known as Turnbow Grove.

The family moved to Russell Creek in Green County, Kentucky (in what is now Adair County) in 1795. Many publications have stated John died near the banks of the Forked Deer River, Tennessee (one referenced this location as Haywood county), while staying in a grandaughter's home located there. One source states John's wife Margaret Claiborne Turnbow remained in Adair Co., KY, and died there in 1835, at almost ninety years old.

Turnbow, Turnbo, Turnbough, and Trubeau are all the same family: My great Grandma was Sophronia Ellen Lenora Hart Turnbow. Her father and mother was Samuel Turnbow and mother Sylviria Caroline Hart. Her genealogy names paternal grandparents as Isaac Turnbow also written as Turnbaugh or Turnbough. His wife Margaret Talkington and also written as Tallkitten.

Many of the family used these variations of thier names, reasons, unknown! But, they are all the same family. Turnbough came from John Andrew Turnbough & wife Margaret Clairborne, south Carolina, Hans Jacob Turnbough or Trubo and wife Mary Dorthea Kuster 1713, Alsace, France, died Rockingham, Virginia, United States

(Robert C. Neel wrote: "This information was found among some records given me by Zina McDonald, sister of my mother, Mary Elizabeth Turnbow Neel. Copied to my records 1 August 1992.)

Celebration of America's Bicentennial kindled an intense interest to know what my ancestors had done to help form this nation. I remembered reading that one of my forbearers had served in the American Revolution. With a little searching I found what I was looking for in an autobiographical sketch written by a second great-grandfather, Samuel Turnbow. The words that triggered my memory stated:

"I, Samuel Turnbow, being born of goodly parents in Lexington, Kentucky on 16 Day of Oct: 1804. My father, Isaac Turnbow, was the son of a Turnbow who lived at the time of his death in Forkedeer, State of Tennessee. He fought in the Revolutionary War to establish freedom and independence in our land, and he died in his one hundred and sixth year, and eleven days."

At this point, I started on the rail of this Revolutionary War ancestor and his sons. The trail was first charted through the records these pioneers left as they migrated and settled this new land. This process was not easy and it required hundreds of hours of research; going through family records, a book compiled by a distant cousin, correspondence, and personal research in micro-film copies of the original records.

After a couple of years research I had built a large file of information on "Old John" and his numerous descendants. I call him "Old John" to differentiate between him and a son with the same given name.

At first the charting of their migration route was only spotty at best, but as additional information was compiled the route became apparent.

Traditions passed down through various branches of this large family served as clues in research. One persistent tradition in many of the branches is that "Old John" was "Pennsylvania Dutch." Another branch of the family traces "Old John" to Alsace-Lorrain, a German-speaking region prior to the time he immigrated and a French-speaking part of France since the Napoleonic Wars. Unfortunately, I have not yet found the documentation to prove this birthplace or the fact that he lived in Pennsylvania. History does show that a large percentage of those who settled the Upcountry of the Carolinas were of German descent from Pennsylvania via the Great Valleys of Virginia.

The first place where I can document the location of "Old John Turnbough" is in Chester District of colonial South Carolina. On the 3rd of March 1776, he had 150 acres of vacant land surveyed on Jacob's branch of Rocky creek. The same tract of land was resurveyed the 2nd of March 1773. On the 11th of March he had this survey certified in Charleston. The following year this tract of land was granted by the Province to John Turnbough.

John had probably partially cleared this land and gotten a few good crops off of it when the drums of war were heard throughout the colonies. When open warfare first broke out most poor farmers were loyal to the crown. As the partisan war ground on the "King's soldiers" indiscriminantly ravaged the countryside in reprisals and loyalties changed. Soon the rich, Church of England clergy, members and colonial bureaucrats with strong ties to the mother country made up the loyalist majority.

Guerrilla warfare units sprang up across South Carolina from the tidewater swamps to the upcountry. Even backwoodsmen from "over the mountain" in what is today Kentucky and Tennessee became so incensed with the threats of reprisals they banded together. These "over the mountain" men played a decisive role in the Battle of Kings Mountain that took place 7 november 1780. The British Commander, Patrick Furgeson, was killed and his command of American "loyist" troops was wiped out or captured. Commander of the local militia, Chester Troops, was Col. Edward Lacey who was serving in the stead of General Sumter who was recovering from a wound. Lacey lost his horse in the action and replaced it with one of Ferguson's chargers.

The free spirit of Col. Lacey was no stranger to warfare on the frontier. When 13 years of age he ran away and joined the Pennsylvania troops serving in the packhorse department during the French and Indian War. he was in Braddock' defeat. After two years his father found him and took him home. A year later he ran away again, immigrating to Chester District, South Carolina. There he indentured himself to William Adair to learn the bricklaying trade and a good English education. In 1766 he married and settled on the head waters of Sandy River, six miles west of Chester Court House. When the Revolution broke out he became a Captain and served in Williamson's Cherokee Campaign. He led the detachment that captured the infamous British Captain Huck. Prior to "Kings Mountain," he served with General Sumter at Rocky Mount, Hanging Rock, Carey's Fort and Fishing Creek. Col. Lacey was present at Cowpens when General Daniel Morgan won this important battle by using both militia and seasoned continental line troops. Following "Kings Mountain" Lacey served under Sumter at Fish Dam Ford and Blackstock. In early 1781 he again served under Sumter at Orangeburg, Biggin Church, Quinby Bridge, and Eutaw Springs.

It was during this early 1781 period my fifth great-grandfather John Turnbough served under Col. Edward Lacey in Captain Samuel Adams company. "Old John" served three terms of enlistment in 1781 as follows:

February 40 days Horsemen's Duty

April 21 days Horsemen's Duty

July 53 days Horsemen's Duty

These short terms were typical for enlisted men who served in State Militia units during the Revolution. When a campaign was about to be launched, the officers would recruit men of a short-term basis, then when the campaign or the term of enlistment was up they would return home to their farms or businesses. The number of men available for a battle or campaign varied greatly because of these short enlistment periods, causing no small concern for the generals trying to win the war.

Following the "War of Independence", the Turnbough family continued to live in Chester County for a few years. During this period John received compensation for his militia service and loss of a horse at Wright's Bluff while in the service of the State of South Carolina. A battle was fought at Wright's Bluff. A British stronghold located in Clarendon County, South Carolina of 27 February 127812. Sumter, the patriot commander, lost 18 men and the battle.

In 1785, one of John's oldest sons, William Eli Turnbough, moved to Greenville District, South Carolina where he received a land grant. The following year "Old John" and the rest of the family moved to Greenville District where John received a 373 acre land grant on the Enore River. The first U.S. census taken in 1790 shows "Old John", his sons, William and John, each with separate households in the Greenville District. "Old John", his wife and 7 sons were living in one household. William Turnbough was shown as single with one young man under 16 years age living with him. I have concluded this must have been on of his younger brothers helping him work his land. The younger John Turnbow (spelling as recorded by the census enumerator), his wife and children, no boys and 2 girls, are shown in a third household. "Old John" and his children continued to live in this area another four years. On 17 April 1794, John and his wife, Margit, sold their property and moved to Kentucky. In this period of time it was no easy task to pack up your family and possessions and move across what is today two states and then half way across the next.

Their migration route took them through the Saluta Gap into North Carolina, across its western tip and then northward across Tennessee to Kentucky and the Cumberland Gap. From there they followed the Wilderness trail established by Daniel Boone a quarter century century earlier to Washington County, Kentucky. It is believed that they camped for a year or at least part of one on property owned by Thomas Montgomery, a brother-in-law to Isaac Turnbow. This Isaac Turnbow was a son of "Old John's" and a 4th great-grandfather of the author.

After a season in Washington County, the family moved to their own land in two different counties. Isaac Turnbow went to Logan County, Kentucky and settled on Big Whippen Will Creek a few miles southwest of the present town of Russellville. (Per Logan County Court Order Book, 1, page 240-, darted August 1804.) Widow Elizabeth Talkington located 200 acres of land in addition to her former claim lying on both sides of Big Whipper Will adjacent to Isaac Turnbow's property. From this and other indirect evidence, it is concluded that Elizabeth and her late husband Robert were the parents of Isaac's wife Margaret Talkitten (Talkington.)

"Old John" and his a wife and all but two of the remaining sons settled in what was the Green County, Kentucky. Six years later (1802) Adair County, Kentucky was formed which is the present location of the area they settled in.

One son, John, settled eventually on Caney Creek in Ohio County, Kentucky. William Eli Turnbough, the eldest son, stayed in Greenville County, South Carolina in is believed eventually to have immigrated to Australia.

Prior to the War of 1812, most of the Turnbow family moved to Maury County, Tennessee. Exceptions to this move were the son, John Turnbough, of Ohio County, Kentucky who eventually moved to Lincoln County, Missouri where he died. His widow, Barbara Anne Robinson Turnbough, migrated to Pike County, Illinois with most of the children and their families. The other exception to the Maury County, Tennessee move was the son, William Eli, who is believed to have immigrated to Australia. This is substantiated somewhat by some of the descendants of John and Barbara Anne Turnbough who report that in the early 1930's three brothers, some of the Australian Turnbows, attempted to establish contact with three American cousins living in the St. Louis, Missouri vicinity.

Back in Maury County, Tennessee the Turnbows became involved with the War of 1812 when Andrew Jackson recruited many of "Old John's" sons and grandsons to put down the Indian rebellion and defeat the British at the Battle of new Orleans. During this period many Indian lands and lands to be acquired by the U.S. in the near future were exposed to the view of Jackson's troops. Following the war many moved to these former Indian lands, including the following sons of "Old John Turnbough."

Isaac and Joseph Turnbow moved to Mississippi Territory in what is now Perry County and Jefferson County, Alabama. The former being the author's fourth great-grandfather. Other of the Turnbo's moved to the southern counties of Tennessee.

George, one of "Old John's" sons, moved to Lewis County and has many descendants still there.

Jacob Turnbough moved to Shoal Creek, Lawrence County, Tennessee.

Samuel Turnbough, the only one of "Old John's" sons that was literate, lived in Maury, Hickman and McNairy Counties, Tennessee. In 1827 he sold his McNairy County land and taught school in Arkansas and then settled in Washington and Crawford Counties, Missouri. In 1845 he died in Crawford County, Missouri where today there are many descendants who live in that and surrounding counties.

Andrew Turnbow is first documented in Giles County, Tennessee on the 1820 census. The following two years he received land grants in Giles County. He is found in that county on the 1830 and 1840 census. Later he moved to Pope County, Arkansas where he died in 1855. His widow, Gracie Coffee Turnbow and several children moved to Erath County, Texas where many descendants remain to this day.

James Turnbough, the youngest known son of "Old John", married Phelicia Coffee on 11 April 1811 in Maury County, Tennessee. He later moved and is documented first in the Giles County court records during the year of 1818. He is also documented in that county on the 1820 census, 1822 land records and 1823 court records. In 1824 he appears on the Maury County tax list. He died 19 August 1826 in Maury County at only 45 years age.

The previously mentioned 1820 census showed an older man living in the James Turnbough household and this believed to have been "Old John", for he was living with James when they left Kentucky and moved to Maury County, Tennessee. After this period there is no known record (to the author) of the whereabouts of "Old John Turnbough" except for the mention in Samuel Turnbow's biographical sketch (quoted at first of this history) that his grandfather died in his 106th year and 11 days at Forked-Deer, Tennessee. Following the death of James in 1826, it is believed that "Old John" went to live with another of his descendants, of which there were many. More than sixty descendants of "Old John" can be accounted for in the year 1826. It is very possible that the descendant he lived with was a granddaughter who therefore did not carry the Turnbow surname and thus thwarted efforts to trace the whereabouts of this immigrant ancestor. Should any other researcher have information that might help complete the Turnbow story, the author would greatly appreciate receiving this information. Information that would be of help is as follows:

1. People, places, dates and events in the lives of Old John or any of his descendants, with documentation or information source.

2. Information of female descendants in very limited and would greatly help.

3. Traditions passed on through the various branches of the family could provide valuable clues for further research.

Hugh Turnbo, Sr. is undoubtedly a descendant of "Old John", but the exact relationship has not yet been established. He logically could be a son of any of "Old John's" older sons. Most probably he would have been a son of William Eli, George or Jacob. It is even possible Hugh, Sr. could have been "Old John's" youngest son. According to one source Hugh was born in North Carolina approximately in the year 1793. He is documented to have married Sally Bearden in Maury County, Tennessee in 23 August 1809. He is next mentioned in the 2 July 1810 court order of Adair County, Kentucky in association with "Old John" and James Turnbow to assist with road work over which James was the surveyor. Just seven weeks later "Old John" sold his 195 acres on Russel Creek and most of the Turnbows moved to Maury County, Tennessee. The 6th of August 1814, Hugh married again, this time to Mary (Polly) Poscell (Powell), the daughter of Ambrose Powell.
