William is said to have served in the Revoution but as most 6 year olds did not join military units, his fighting probably occured in the Indian fights of the 1790's
About 1792, William and Susannah, along with other relatives, including her father, Carr Bailey, moved into the southeastern KY mountains in what was then Lincoln Co. [Knox Co. was formed out of Lincoln Co. in 1799] but was to later become Harlan Co in 1819. By 1850, they had a prosperous faarm, well-tended by their slaves and hired hands.
It is said that William and Susannah died the same week. Certainly, William Turner died between August of 1855 when he emancipated some slaves [Harlan County Deed Book D, page 429 - Turner emancipated salves George, age 55, Alexander, age 41, and Judith, age 50, to take effect at his death] and the 8th of January, 1856, the date of the first of many deeds regarding his estate. As Susanna is not mentioned and does not sign the emancipation, she probably died before him. Even by today's standards, William and Susanna were old. Fortunately they died before the worst befell many of their grandchildren.
