Well, pooh! What do I know? According to everyone's file on Rootsweb, Elizabeth Turrentine's father was James Turrentine, not Samuel. James was married to Catherine Clower. Elizabeth Turrentine and David Boyd had a son named Samuel Turrentine Boyd and I think that's where I got confused. Also, I have in my file, from the Pike County Centennial book, On 1827 tax list for Pike County Captain Shim Thompson's District ...William "Tarentine" 1 poll only, no land listed ...James "Tarentine" 12 ac. Lot 145 and 187 ac. Lot 146, both in First District of Pike Co. on Flint River (Ferry owner?) ...George "Tarentine", 2 polls only James Turrentine's land was right on the Flint River ( Land lots 145 and 146, First District of Pike) and was right across the river from where the Boyds and Tidwells lived in Meriwether (Upper Ninth district). Land Lot 143 in the First District of Pike was won in the 1821 lottery by a William Boyd who, I believe, may have been the son of my Robert Boyd and Rosannah Stewart and, therefore, the brother of David B. Boyd who married Elizabeth Turrentine. On a map, these look like fractional lots cut short by the river. A corner of 143 adjoins 146. I need to get down to Zebulon and look up land records, I guess. Looks like William Boyd may have introduced his baby brother to Elizabeth Turrentine, his neighbor's daughter, and some serious romancing ensued. William later owned several land lots in Meriwether in the same area. Sorry for the error on James, not Samuel Turrentine, being Elizabeth's father.. Judy K in Newnan
