| 1504 | Lewis Turner married in 1826 in Habersham Co., Ga. The 1820 census of Habersham lists two Turners, Berry & Micajah. Micajah Turner, p. 72 2 Males under 10, 3 males 10-16, 1 male 16-18, 2 males 18-26, 1 male 26-45, 2 females under 10, 1 female 16-26, 1 female 26-45. Berry Turner, p. 70 1 male 16-26, 1 female 16-26 William S. Turner, son of Lewis Turner, named a child Lewis Berry Turner. From these records, it appears likely that Lewis Turner is a son of Micajah Turner and a brother of Berry Turner. | Turner, Micajah (I7675)

| 1505 | Little is known about Hannah Goad. Her birth on 7 April 1732 is recorded in the North Farnham Parish Register. Her father was John Goad, who left a will in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia identifying his daughter as Hannah Bennett. Deed records in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia confirm that William Bennett (b. 1703, Christ Church Parish, Middlesex Co., Virginia, d. abt 1782) had a wife named Hannah. While there is no direct evidence of her marriage, it can be safely concluded that Hannah Goad, daughter of John Goad married William Bennett, probably in Pittsylvania County. The date of their marriage is not known. Hannah Goad had at least two children, Benjamin and James, with William Bennett. Benjamin and James Bennett. Benjamin and James Bennett first appear in the Pittsylvania County tax list in 1773 with their tithes charged to William Bennett. This indicates that James and Benjamin were still minors at this time. James and Benjamin are first listed on their own in 1776. If this indicates that they had reached the age of majority, then we can estimate their birth year as 1755. That James & Benjamin first appear as minors the same year, and both are first listed individually on the same year may indicate that James and Benjamin were twins. On the 14 Feb. 1777, William Bennett and his wife Hannah conveyed property to William's grandsons, William and Reuben. Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Deed Book 4, pp. 107-108 and Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Deed Book 4, pp. 109-110. This deed is the last record we have of Hannah Goad. We believe that William Bennett moved to Montgomery Co., Virginia in about 1782 with his sons, Thomas, Benjamin and James. It is not known whether Hannah was alive at this time. If she survived her husband, she may have remarried. | Goad, Hannah (I308)
