Several times the name "Turnbill" has come up here, so I cannot resist giving one little tidbit from my Watkins files. Samuel Watkins, founder of Watkins Institute in Nashville & one of the most prosperous Watkins in early TN history, was orphaned before 1800 in Campbell Co, VA, of PA father Jacob Watkins. For awhile he was placed in the home of a Jacob Turnbill, from which he is known to have been removed, biographies of the Watkins family commenting saying that it was " a cruel Scotch-Irish home." I also have a SC record concerning the Turnbill family: John BROWN, box 105, pack 2671; will dated Sept 27, 1785 in 96 Dist prv Nov 30, 1786: exr: son Wm. BROWN. Wi: Wm. CARSON,John BETTY,Joseph TURNBULL. Wife Mary Brown. Chn: Elizabeth, louisa,Sarah, edy, Mary, Wm. BROWN. Grdtr Anna BROWN. My interest in this line is that Wm. Douglas Watkins b 1843 married Loudon, TN, Nancy BROWN HART b 1852, dau. of George B. HART & Ellen Ekens/Akens. Here are notes which show the path of migration well: Campbell CO, VA: Page 228.
