The following query was posted to the Augusta County Query Page on Mon Mar 15 23:19:57 1999 PLEASE ADRRESS YOUR REPLY TO: BobBecAlln@aol.com (Robert M. Allen) I am searching the genealogy of John PATRICK who died testate in Augusta Co., VA in 1809. His will was written 7 Feb. 1809 and was proved on 22 May 1809. It names his wife as Ann PATRICK. John PATRICK was the son of Robert PATRICK who died testate in Augusta Co., VA in 1761. Does anybody know the maiden name of Ann, wife and widow of John PATRICK? There is evidence that Ann's maiden name was TURK. I draw this conclusion primarily by the fact that Robert TURK (circa 1695-1772) acquired 1313 acres in Beverley Manor in 1739. He deeded 437 acres (1/3) to his son, Thomas Turk, in 1741. He deeded 437 acres (1/3) to Robert Patrick in 1747. He kept 437 acres from himself. After Robert PATRICK and Robert TURK died, the adjacent property owners were Robert TURK's son, Thomas, TURK, and Robert PATRICK's son, John PATRICK. Robert TURK mentioned a daughter Ann TURK in his will written in 1772. I think that there is some close family connection which caused Robert TURK to deed 1/3 of his land to Robert PATRICK IN 1747.
