Biography | Biography appears on. The Turnbull name among the Choctaws originated with Scotsman John Turnbul l, who was born about 1741 and came to Mobile, Alabama in about 1760. John was a trader among the Chickasaws and Choctaws and was always involved in a great deal of controversy and intrigue among both tribes, and t he Spanish and English. George, his son by a Chickasaw woman who was said to be a close relative (daughter or sister) of Chickasaw Chief Taskiatoka, was Brashears' father and Turner's grandfather. Taskiatoka was very close to John and once bartered a number of his Spanish prisoners for John 's release from a Spanish prison in 1781. He was supposedly the first white man to use the Natchez Trace as a trading route. He was all over this area, especially Memphis, MS, LA, AL and the famous Chickasaw Bluffs where John was instrumental in obtaining permission from the Chickasaws for the Spanish to build the strategic fort (trading post). Why George and William, who were clearly half Chickasaw, were so closely related to the Choctaws at this point is unclear. However, they both married Choctaw women and were deeply involved in their father John Turnbull's trading business among the Choctaws. He even took them back to England with him once. William married Judith Perry, daughter of Hardy Perry and Anolah. Although John eventually married a white wife and had a sizable family with her, he still regarded his half breed Indian sons and daughter Sylvia, so highly that he recognized his "illegitimate children" (children of all marriages not solemnized in the Catholic church at this time were classified "illegitimate") in his will and left them inheritances considered very handsome for the times. At the time of his death in 1799 at Baton Rouge, Louisiana he was an enormously wealthy man, owning thousands of acres of land from Spanish land grants in Mississippi and Louisiana, including the large plantation with hundreds of slaves where he died. John Joyce had been his partner in building an inordinately successful trading business in Mississippi and Louisiana. George and William are mentioned frequently in the history of this area as John Turnbull's "half breed Chickasaw sons." They were born in the Chickasaw nation perhaps close to present day Memphis, Tennessee, probably in the early to mid 1760's. --Frankie James Descendants of John Turnbull |
