I am the 5th great grandson of George Turman, born about 1726 Lunenburg County, Virginia - died December 1, 1805 Wilkes County, Georgia.

His will was dated Jul. 1, 1805, proved Jun. 7, 1806, and his estate was inventoried Oct. 3, 1806. George, brother of Martin and Thomas TURMAN, lived early in Lunenburg Co., VA, where he was last recorded in 1764.

He is recorded as an appraiser in Wilkes Co. in 1779, an associate of John GILES, Henry WIDEMAN, and Evan RAGLAND. George was a Rev. soldier, being so identified in the will of Jacob COLSON

Nance Genealogy PDF Print E-mail

I have been researching the Nance line for over 12 years. My data is based on the assumption that Richard Nance, migrant to Virginia by 1639 was the descendant of the Illogan Nances. This is based on the data presented in "Nance of Cornwall" by M.L. Nance - A theory on the Cornish ancestors of Richard Nance.

Other theories regarding the ancesotrs of Richard Nance exists.  For more information regarding other possible ancestors of Richard Nance please see "A Farewell to Illogan"found on the Nance Genealogy Clearinghouse website. 

 ___

Arrived in Virginia Colony on Virginig Company ship "Johathan" May 1620, at age 16. He was a servant in the household of Sergeant William Sharpe. See VA. Colony Muster Rools of 1624, see Nance Memorial pg. 15, 36, 38, 25

Richard Nance was baptised 1610 in St. Kerverne. Several of those living  in Cornwall that are interested in Nance Genealogy say this is the  American emigrant. I do not consider hearsay to always be accurate. The  fact remains that Richard Nance of Virginia was born 1604, according to  official papers of the London Company.

1620 William Sharp sailed from Plymouth, Devon in Aug. on Bonaventure  with wife sons (age 2 and 6 mos) (August)

1622 Richard survived the Good Friday Indian massacre ref. Jamestown  history

1624 Richard listed in census ref 1624 census

| 1627 | Charles City | Per letter from Martin L. 'Pete' Nance to Walker P. Nance, 4 Dec 1968,  Richard Nance would have completed his apprenticeship about 1627 which would have entitled him as a freeholder of 20 a. (originally set aside as public lands under the London Co. charter and referred to as the colledge (college) lands). It is the same section that contained that neck were he lived 1624. Thus it is obvious Richard Nance first started as a landowner in Chas. City, and probably held this and additional land, before he was able later in 1639 to pay transportation for six persons. I doubt that Richard actually ever established residence on the [1639] Appamattox land grant"

| 1639 | Henrico | (Land) Patent Book 1” p. 715, (Richard Nance patents 300 a. in Henrico Co, 18 Mar 1639, "west upon the land of Willm. Gates, South upon the river, East down the river &c., on the N. Side of the appamatuck river", 'due for transportation of 6 persons: Alice his now wife, Robert Perry, Robert Chappel, Geo. Prebedy, Edward Rowlington, Mary Viccars') -- Per letter from Martin L. Pete' Nance to Walker P. Nance, 4 Dec 1968, 'Prior to 1639 he m. Alice; this year he obtained land grant in Henrico (Chesterfield Co. today) near the Dinwiddie-Pr. George Co. lines, north bank of the Appamattox river.


1665 Richard Nance vs. Daniel Llewellyn

RICHARD | 1665 | Charles City | (NR) -- 1665 - Richard Nance vs. Daniel  Llewellyn (Col. abstracts); also, ordered that Nathaniel Tatem and Jervis  Dix be paid as witnesses for Richard Nance. (Col. abstracts)

1665 Order that Nathaniel Tatem and Jervis Dix be paid as witnesses for  Richard Nance. Ref Charles City Co. Col. Abstracts)

RICHARD | 1665 | Charles City | Per letter from Martin L. "Pete" Nance to  Walker P. Nance, 4 Dec 1968: "Two court cases involved Richard Nance in  1665; one held at Kings Court in westover Parish; the other [at] Kings  Court [in] James City Parish (both courts described as being in the  county of Charles City)".
