Notes for William J. Turbyfill
Wed, 26 Aug 1998
From: Dan Troublefield
Patsy's father William Turbyfill, a Revolutionary soldier, moved from the area of Brunswick Co., VA (actually Lunenburg Co.), to Robertson Co., Tennessee, where he applied for a pension in the 1830's. Old William was married two or more times in Virginia. He had a son John Turbyfill, named after William's father John Turbyfill (the planter) alias Troublefield, died 1783 Brunswick Co., VA, and William's brother John Turbyfill, Esq., later of Lincoln Co., NC. William had other children as well, but the documentation for them is not as clear as for children John and Patsy. I am also descended from old John "the planter".
William was a farmer and was also a partner in the firm of Turbiville & Darden.
