Here are the notes that I have for Roger Oxford including his will in 1758 when he was married to Margaret, but I do believe that she was his 2nd wife. Then her 2nd husband, William Turner, is named in the deed of Thomas Oxford in 1767. Do you think that this proves that Thomas Oxford was the son of Roger and Margaret Oxford? Or could Thomas have called Margaret his mother when she was really a stepmother?

"One Negro Slave Named Dimbo, one Negro Slave Named Bett (now in Possession of William Turner of Culpeper by Virtue of his Marriage with my mother Margaret Oxford at whose death the Property of the said Negro reverts to and becomes invested in me) together with Future Issue of the said Bett and all the Chattels, Goods and Estate Contained in the annexed schedule."

Any info on Margaret Kirkley? Oxford Turner would be of much interest.

NOTES ON OFTEN-CITED PERSONS, PLACES, AND THINGS IN ROBERT CARTER'S DIARY AND LETTERS
NORMAN'S Ford was a farm located on an important Rappahannock River (earlier Hedgeman's River) crossing on the old Iroquois trail, later called the Carolina Road. Fairfax Harrison states that it received its name because Isaac Norman patented the land in June 1726, but Robert Carter referred to it by this name four years earlier. It is located where U.S. 29 and U.S. 15 cross the Rappahannock between Culpeper and Fauquier counties. Roger Oxford was the overseer. ("The Old Roads and the Ordinaries," in Harrison, , 441-517, esp. fn. 37 on p. 500.)
