Biography

Robert was born in 1784. He passed away in 1842.

His inventory was completed on 18 April 1843 in Fairfield.^[1]

In 1843, the widow received her dower.^[2] Debts could not be paid out of the personal estate, so it was ordered to sell so much of the real estate.^[3]

After paying debts, the estate distribution was set out to his children, George Turney, Rufus Turney, Julia Ann Turney, and Lewis Turney.^[4]

In 1846, after the family did not see or hear from Robert's son George Turney for 15 years, the Fairfield probate court distributed his estate to his siblings, Rufus Turney, Julia A. Turney, and Lewis Turney.^[5]
