Your Stephen does not fit in Admire's family, at least with information I have. If you found the will of his father in Terisha's line, I believe your Stephen is also there. One place to check is a book 'A History of The Turner Family' by William A. Roskey, American Genealogical Research Institute, Washington, DC. (1972). p-59, According to family tradition, several Turner brothers emigrated to Virginia or the Carolinas at more or less the same time. It is said that one brother came over and subsequently two or three brothers followed him. .....That Terisha and Stephen Turner were brothers. ....Both Stephen and Terisha began appearing in Virginia county records at about the same time (1750). Terisha named a son Stephen; Stephen named a son Terisha. Both settled originally in Albermarle Co., then moved to Amherst Co. There is a whole chapter on Terisha's family lineage in this book. You could probably find in at a genealogical center, or on interlibrary thru your library.
