In 1781 Ignatius bequeathed one third of his estate to his wife "Elener" for use "during her life."

Husbands of Ignatius' daughters sold his land before 1799 via unrecorded deeds.^[1]

From research of Bill Scroggins:

"William Bohannon probably moved from Middlesex County to Culpeper County around 1750. William Booten and Russell Hill were in Middlesex County in 1740 when William was administrator of the will of Henry Bohannon with Russell as surety on his bond.

Robert Tureman's first wife Mary Rice died on 12 March 1742/3 and Robert married Ann Booten Bohannon before 17 February 1748/9 when their son George was born. They were still in Middlesex County on 04 December 1750 when their twins Ignatius and Ann were born. Robert Tureman and Ann Booten Bohannon and William Booten and Judith Hill were in Culpeper County by 1753 when William Booten was named as an executor of the will of Robert Tureman, which William Bohannon witnessed. Robert Tureman and Ann Booten Bohannon had another son Robert, who apparently was born after the twins and before Robert Tureman made his will in 1753. In his will, Robert Tureman named his daughter Susanna Tureman and his four youngest children, George, Ignatius, Ann and Robert, who were under 21. Susanna was a daughter of Robert Tureman and Mary Rice, who was born on 15 October 1738.^[2]
