MORE NOTES ON SHADRACK TURNER

Originally from Caroline County, Virginia. Many of the records of
Caroline County were burned in the Civil War and only the order book
remains. Shadrack was the nephew of ancestor, James Turner. When the
mother of the children died Shadrack was already sixteen, so no guardian
was named for him. They were named for the other children in the family.
At this time the father was already deceased or no guardian wuld have
been named. He, the father, was apparently John Turner, brother of James
Turner, and son of Richard Turner, who died in 1744.

All of the Turners moved west, James into Bedford County and Shadrack
into Henry, which was apparently cut from Bedford. Descendents of James
also lived in Henry and Franklin Counties. "Pioneer Families of Franklin
County, Virginia" page 220, states that three brothers Shadrach, Meshack,
and Abednego living in VA prior to 1748; 1748 patent gave Shadrack land
in Halifax County, VA. He later moved to Pittsylvania then Henry County,
VA.

In previous publications, it has been written that Shadrack Turner owned
4400 acres of land in Halifax County, Virginia which had been granted to
him by patents. The writer wrote to the Virginia State Archives and the
only land patent on record for Shadrack Turner is 104 acres made 10
August 1759 in Lunenburg County for which he paid ten shillings. Copy of
this patent has been deposited along with all of the documents used in
this book at the Georgia State Archives. Patent Bk. 34, Virginia Archives
1756-1762, Reel 33-34 p. 403. In1767, he is on the Tithe list of
Pittsylvania County, Virginia, 256 acres (reference Virginia Magazine
Vol. 24, pg. 190). He is in Virginia Magazine, Vol. 15, p. 92, 1777,
shows he gave aid to Capt. Rubels Company, Henry County Militia. Virginia
Magazine Vol. 10 p. 239, 1783 shows he gave aid to Virginia Militia;
received certificates 14 and 143 for said aid.

In "History of Henry County, Virginia" by J.P.A Hill, Shadrack was
appointed Road Commissioner for Henry County and was also instrumental in
having Henry County formed into a separate county from Pittsylvania.
