      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.

      Turner Gustavus Morehead, son of Charles and Mary Morehead, was born 07 January 1757. He married twice, first to Ann Ransdell/Ransdale on 07 June 1779 and secondly to Mary Ann Hewitt Hooe. (It should be noted here that certain genealogies state that Mary Ann was the first wife and that Ann Ransdell was the second.)
      In regard to Mary Ann, Turner Morehead?s second wife, certain genealogies give her name as Polly Ann Hewitt Hooe, the ?Polly? being a commonly substituted nickname for ?Mary?; others give the name as Mary Ann Hood, apparently assuming that the spelling ?Hooe? was a mis-spelling of the name ?Hood?. Mary Ann was born on 23 May 1779 at Stafford County, Virginia. Mary Ann?s father was Harris Hooe, and his father was Hawson Hooe. Her great-grandfather was the Honorable Rice Hooe, who had married Catherine Taliaferro, and had served in 1699 in the Virginia House of Burgesses.

(It should be noted here that certain genealogies state that Mary Ann was the first wife and that Ann Ransdell was the second.)

      Ann Ransdell, Turner Morehead?s first wife, was born on 17 August 1756 (some researchers give Ann's birthdate as 02 August 1756).
