• Notes

  Ruth Sara became mentally unbalanced to the point that she had to be watched constantly. At night William tied her in his bed with ropes. One night she escaped and jumped down the well and drowned. (Source: "The Turner Family" by Lucille McLees Myers. Oral history, Ben and Wilbur Woolbright)
