My fifth cousin 3 times removed.
Born: unknown.
Parents: HENRY SMITH TURNER AND CATHERINE BLACKBURN

Notes:
Source (1), "Genealogies of Virginia Families, from the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography," has some data that is inconsistent with data from other sources, namely that Thomas' first wife, Catherine, died without issue, and that he married his second wife, Fenton, in 1827.
For his children by his wife Catherine the following tombstone inscriptions, Fitzhugh's Cemetery #2, are given:
Sacred to the memory of
Bushrod Washington
son of Thomas B. Turner and Catherine Augusta, his wife
youngest daughter of Champ Brockenbrough
He was accidently shot in the face, August 12, 1841
Aged 12 years and 6 months.
He was a lovely and interesting child
and of Catherine Augusta Brockenbrough
his sister, who died June 25, 1857 Aged 5 years
They were the only children of their mother, who died in
their infancy and left them to the care of their grandmother,
Sarah Brockenbrough, who erects this monument.
