Notes
a. Continued:   It is now known that Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego Turner were actually brothers, and sons of John Turner, born in Caroline County, Virginia.
  Principally, the connection to John, and to his father Richard, comes from the Turner DNA Group Study begun in 2002, as well as information taken from the Caroline County, Virginia, Order Book from 1744.
  Based on the fact that John died before the 1742 probate of his father Richard's estate; the death of his wife around 1744 resulted in their children being assigned to a guardian. The 1744 Order Book lists Meshack, Abednego, Sarah, Elizabeth and Ann with guardianships. Shadrach would already have been 16 at the time, and legally no longer requiring a guardian.
  Abstracts from Caroline County, Virginia, Order Book, 1732-1740:
  11 JAN 1744/5 - "Meshach Turner being admitted to choose a guardian made choice of James Turner, who with Samuel Norment acknowledged their bond. Abednego Turner being admitted to choose a guardian made choice of Wm. Pemberton, who with Robt. Powell acknowledged their bond."
  "Elizabeth Turner [granddaughter of Richard, and daughter of John] being admitted to choose a guardian made choice of Jason Meadows, who with Lewis Turner [son of Richard] acknowledged their bond." [Notice that a relative, a Micajah Turner born 1728 who lived in Cumberland Co., VA, also had sons named Lewis and John. This is not the same Micajah who was a grandson or great-grandson of John, born 1777.]
  "Sarah Turner [daughter of John, granddaughter of Richard] being admitted to choose a guardian made choice of Jonas Meadows [aka Meadors, Meador*] who with Lewis Turner acknowledged their bond."
