• Notes

  From Faye Turnbaugh in 2007: Some time after Benjamin's death in 1879, Elizabeth Jane moved to Sherman, MS and lived in a house belonging to their son William Robert. She lived in the house with 3 of their daughters and a great grandaughter. This property was willed to her daughters by William Robert (their brother) after Elizabeth's death, then to her granddaughter, Eunice Bean, after the death of Eunice's mother Sarah Allis Bruce Bean in 1945. This property is located on old Highway 78 across the road from the old cotton gen and is now owned by Phil Yates. Phil inherited it from his mother Elise Sanders Yates, Elizabeth Jane's great granddaughter. Sept. 2008 Faye Turnbaugh sent me a photo of eye glasses owned by Elizabeth Jane Allen.
