Anecdote

The first member of this branch of the Turnbull family to arrive in America was James Turnbull. the Court Records of Augusta County, Virginia, as documented by the Lyman Chalkey Chronicles, indicate that he was a surveyor, and list his name as James Trimble a.k.a. James Turnbull. He was born in Scotland about 1710 and arrived in America about 1734. His wife's name was Grace, but her background, including place and date of birth and place and time of death is, as yet, unknown. While living in Virginia, James served in Captain John Smith's Militia Company against the Indians. He bought 402 acres ofland on Moffett's Creek on August 2,1742 from Benjamin Borden. The land was sold to a Joseph Kennedy in 1754.
James and Grace then moved to what is now Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and applied for a grant of192 acres ofland on a branch of the Rocky River on August 12, 1755. James served in Captain Adam Alexander's Anson County Militia Company while living at this location, and farmed there until January, 1763.
James and his family then left North Carolina to move to what is now Abbeville County, South Carolina, arriving on February 1, 1763. He received a grant of 300 acres of land on the northwest fork of Long Cane Creek on August 27,1764, but lived only a short time thereafter. He died there in 1766. Grace then received a grant of 100 acres on Great Rocky Creek on August 20,1767, and deeded it to her son, Joseph, on December 1, 1770.¹
