Note: If you are descended from Field, I would love to hear from you. It has occurred to me that his name was really Field Tanner Southall after his grandfather Field Tanner. Tradition has passed the name down as Turner, but it seems more likely to me that it was Tanner. (MAM)
1820 Amelia Co, VA census:
1 male to 10
1 male 16-26
1 female 16-26
Field was in Va Oct 1827 when he witnessed his sister Julia Ridick Southall's marriage to John S. Quarles.
Oct 1834 Field T Southall and Lucy his wife sold to Robert Mann 501 acres where Southall resided. The land adjoined that of Armistead Green, William Worsham and estate of Daniel Mann. I also found that Field was an under-sheriff and served as justice of the peace, but the last year he served was 1834. So with a 1836/7 birth for James Turner, I would say he probably left the spring of 1835.
After marriage they moved to Haywood Co, TN, where "the mother died" (second wife?). Later, the father moved to Mississippi, and finally to Arkansas, where he passed away. She lived to be about thirty-six years of age, and he fifty-two. He was a merchant and farmer, and for several years was sheriff in Virginia. Both he and wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He had been married previous to his wedding Miss Spencer, and had one child. To the last marriage were born three sons and three daughters. (from EE's biography)
1840 Haywood Co, TN census
2 males to 5
1 male 5 - 10
1 male 20 - 30
1 male 40 - 50
1 female to 5
1 female 5 - 10
1 female 10 - 15
1 female 20 - 30
slaves:
2 males under 10
3 males 10 - 24
1 male 24 - 36
1 male 36 - 55
2 females under 10
2 females 10 - 24
1 female 24 - 36
1 female 36 - 55
Field was in Desoto Co, Miss in 1850. Also in the Desoto Co Slave census in 1850 where he is shown to have 2 slaves, one a male age 63 and one a female age 60.
What happened to Field between 1840 and 1850? By the time that he dies in 1852 his estate is worth less than $300 per the administrator John Kirkwood. Heirs: M.C. Sloop (son-in-law); and Emit E. Southall (a son)
"Southall, F.A.(should be T.); died at the residence of his brother in Arkansas, a few days since, of cholera; late of this place; W.W.R 6-18-1852" Did not write on the sheet where this is from. I'm guessing from Mississippi????
