Martha was the only daughter and heir of Gawin and Hannah Corbin. Hannah was a daughter of Col. Thomas and Hannah (Ludwell) Lee of Stratford. An account of the brains and independence of Hannah Lee Corbin is evidenced in a letter which she wrote to her brother, Richard Henry Lee, in which she declares that she will not pay taxes when she had no vote - a pioneer in woman' suffrage. Then again there is in her own handwriting, a book of sermons - when we find in Court Records where she was fined for not attending her parish Church. Her daughter, Martha (Corbin) Turberville, fell heir to Peckatone , named for an Indian Chief and at whose gate was the famous banqueting hall that can be read about in the "good old days" of Westmoreland. Paul Wilstach in his Potomac Landings , (Doubleday, 1921) page 115, gives a very interesting paragraph or two on the Turbervilles of Peckatone. "Many are the quaint traditions of the dwellers in Old Peckatone. The compiler of Lee of Virginia quotes a writer on Westmoreland as saying: "Many wild stories were told, in my youth, of how a lady owner (Mrs. George Turberville) played the part of a petty tyrant among her overseers and negroes, confining the former in her dungeons beneath the house, and the latter sometimes whipped to death! How she traveled at night in her coach and dour, armed with pistols and guns. How, in the last of her days of recklessness, she, her coach and coachmen were borne aloft in a terrible hurricane, and lost to site.
From that day the house remained unoccupied for years. Then, in popular opinion, it was haunted; lights were seen passing from room to room, and awful groans and shrieks at night would assail the ears of the luckless traveler who happened to be in the vicinity." Martha not only carried pistols and guns, but carried axes when she went abroad her coach to "remove all obstructions." Fifthian notes of George Turberville, "Mr. Carter dined at Squire Lees some few weeks ago; at the same place, that day, dined also Mr. George Turberville and his wife. As Mr. Carter rode by he observed Mr. Turberville's Coach-man sitting on the Chariot Box, the Horses off- After he had made his compliments in the House, he had occasion soon after to go to the door, when he saw the Coachman still sitting and on examination found that he was there fast chained! The fellow is inclined to run away, and this is the method which This Tyrant makes use of to keep him when abroad." George died 20 Oct 1792, Peckatone, Westmoreland Co., VA His will is dated 20 Jun 1790 and probated 29 Jan 1793. (Historical Society of Fairfax Co., VA, Inc. Vol.11-1971, pp49-62; "A Genealogy of the Turberville Family", by John Gott). (Lee of Virginia, by Edmund Jenings Lee, MD, 1895; p.87). (CFSSA,p.175). Martha: The will of George Turberville, of Peckatone, Westmoreland, was dated 20 Jun 1790 and proved 29 Jan 1793. He stated that his wife, Martha, had a life of interest in all the lands which came to her from her father, Gawin Corbin, except lands in Caroline, Culpeper and Fauquier. He gave her one third of his other lands, stocks, furniture, etc.
