James TURNER was born 1710 in Caroline Co., VA, Royal Colony. He d. 1793 in Bedford Co., VA according to a published genealogy cira 1940 by Walter Hopkins of Richmond, Virginia and others at about the same time, James' line came from England and apparently was not related to the John/Shadrack line of Patrick and Henry Counties, Virginia which were believed from Scotland. However, more recent research in the Caroline County Order Books leads several researchers to connect the families. James married (1 ) Mary ADMIRE (?) about 1730.
