(14) Listed on tombstone as "Addie M. Turnage, dau of Amos and

of source of this.

Daniel (or David) E. TURNAGE(40)
(62) was born in 1826 in North Carolina. He
died in 1871 in Fayette Co,TN. Mrs. Harrison gives the name of Daniel E. Turnage
and states that he was born in 1826 in North Carolina. The book "Josiah
Askew of Edgecombe County, NC", p. 44, states that his name was David E.
Turnage and that he was born c1826 in NC and d 1871 in Fayette Co, TN, m 25 Nov
1851 Fayette Co, TN to Mary Jane Askew.
From "Josiah Askew of Edgecombe County, NC", p. 73:
David was a witness to a deed in Marshall County, MS (Deed Book L, pg 472) 4 Apr 1844 along with Thomas Turnage. Grantee was Amos Turnage of Marshall County. David listed in Fayette's Civil District of the Military Reserve Corps of TN in the age group 18-45 "Volunteers who have been or are now in Service". This list was made in 1861. David died the latter part of 1871; Minute Book L page 210 on 5 Dec 1871 shows Marion Zellner a Presbyterian minister and Peter Bondurant appointed to set out a year's support for Mary Jane and her family. Minute Book L page 225, 6 Dec 1871 shows Mary Jane renounced her right to administer David's estate. Thomas T. Turnage was appointed administrator and entered into $12,000 bond. Minute Book L page 597, 2 Sep 1872 - because of Thomas T. Turnage's death on 17 Aug 1872, Charles Lynn was appointed Administrator of David's estate to replace Thomas T. Turnage. Minute Book M pages 73 and 74, 6 Nov 1872 gives the year's support items for Mary Jane. It is interesting to note some of the items: $50 worth of flour, 40 barrels corn, 1500# port, $45 sugar, $30 molasses, $50 coffee, $5 salt, $6 coal oil, $10 soap, $10 spices, $300 for clothing. $506 total to be paid to widow out of cotton crop for last year.
