    3. Hi: Am wondering if any of you know anything bout my great grandfather, Yancy Turner, born in NC, moved to Sumner Co., TN where he died. His mother was Susannah Turner, daughter of Henry H. Turner, Caswell Co., NC. Yancy, also spelled Yancey, was born in 1786, died in 1878. I think he was a tobacco farmer, and he did have 10 slaves at one time. His father was Thomas Graves Yancy, who fathered him out of wedlock as a teenager. Thomas had a Graves connection which could go all the way back to Captain Thomas Graves, first settler in VA. Would like to fill in some blank spots regarding his lifestyle, how much and where his farm was located in Sumner Co., TN. Thanks for any input on Yancy. Dorothy Turner Gray
