This is all I hve to go on right now. I'm greatful for any help atall. Prince George Co. Marr. Whether Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego were actually sons of John Turner or were even born in Caroline County, Virginia is still unsubstantiated. What is known however is that Shadrack and Meshack were brothers.
Some people claim to have extended the family line further.
Researchers making the connection to Richard and to the children below base their work on information taken from the Caroline County, Virginia Order Book from 1744. Based on the assumption that John died before the 1742 probate of Richard Turner's estate, the death of his wife around 1744 resulted in their children being assigned to a guardian. The 1744 Order Book lists Meshack, Abednego, Sarah, Elizabeth and Ann with guardianships. It is supposed that Shadrach would already have been 16 at the time and no longer needing a guardian. Y It is believed that Shadrach was over 16 years of age when his father died, and had already been given a share of land or money.
