The eldest son of John and Mary Morehead was Charles R.(4.58) He married, in 1756, Mary Turner, the daughter of James Turner and his wife, Kerenhappuck Norman. Kerenhappuck was the daughter of Isaac Norman and Frances Courtney, whose residence was in Spottsylvania County, Virginia. James Turner was born circa 1715, a descendant of the English family from Devonshire, which claimed the ancestor, Humphrey Turner ?of Thorvoston?, to whom arms were granted in 1620. The Turners emigrated to America in 1673 in the person of Captain William Turner, who settled in Boston. A certain line moved southward to Maryland and Virginia, while others of the family remained in New England. James Turner served as a Militia Captain in the colony of Maryland. Kerrenhappuck Norman, the eventual wife of James Turner, was born circa 1715; her name was a biblical one, meaning ?horn of beauty?. Kerrenhappuck?s family had come to reside in Spottsylvania County, Virgina before her birth. Isaac Norman is known to have entered into a deed transferring land and cash to his future son-in-law James Turner and wife, Kerrenhappuck on 30 January 1733. According to information obtained by Charles R. Morehead and included in John M. Morhead?s book, Isaac Norman obtained a patent for land in Orange (later Culpeper) County on 30 June 1726.(4.59) James Turner and Kerrenhappuck Norman are believed to have married on 07 May 1734 at Spotsylvania in Gloucester County, Virginia. Kerrenhappuck is claimed to have traveled on horseback (carrying a baby in her arms) to Guilford Court House when she had found out that her one son had received terrible wounds in the battle there. She is believed to have hung wooden tubs, with holes bored into their bottoms, to the rafters above the wounded man, and filled them with water for the purpose of dripping onto his wounds. By that means, his fever was lessened and his life was saved. A monument noting that incident was memorialized in a statue erected on the spot in her honor by the Guilford Battle-Ground Company, which included a number of Morehead descendants. The baby which Kerrenhappuck had taken with her died enroute, and she buried it by the side of the road.

Charles and Mary Morehead were blessed with a large family consisting of five boys and three girls: Turner Gustavus, Mary, Charles Jr., Kerenhappuck, Armistead, James, Elizabeth and Presley. They raised their family in Leeds Parish, Fauquier County, Virginia. Hamilton Parish was divided, in February of 1772 between Prince William and Fauquier Counties. In the court act by which that division took place, Charles Morehead is recorded as one of the ?gentleman? of the parish.(4.60) The portion of Hamilton Parish in which the Charles Morehead property was located was in the portion that was established as Leeds Parish. Charles Morehead served his province in the capacity of a Captain of militia. He received his commission to that position on 27 July 1767.(4.61) Later Charles served in the American Revolutionary War as a Captain, and received bayonet wounds at the Battle of Stoney Point.
