Several of their children married and remained in the Smith Co area:

Mary died ca 1858 as Samuel is living in Smith Co in 1860 with a second wife and young child. Believe that Samuel md.3) Matilda A. Mangum, d/o Henry L. and Nancy Mangum.

6. James Turnbow, age 17 AL, was living with his parents in Choctaw Co in 1850. Could he be the James Turnbough, age 27 MS, listed in Rusk Co TX in 1860?
