If you do not have access to them let me know your snail mail address and I will send copies of pertinent pages: "Leftwich-Turner Families of Virginia and Their Connections", by Walter Lee Hopkins, originally published 1931. "Leftwich Chronology, American Descendants", by Linwood L. Leftwich, published 1991.
