"The writer's people on his father's side were Pennsylvania Dutch. They settled in the State of Pennsylvania many years before the breaking out of Revolutionary War. Some of them went from that section into Virginia where my grandfather, James Turnbo, was born March 23, 1788. He left Virginia when he was quite young and made his way into east Tennessee, and after living there several years he married Felicia Coffee, an English woman who lived in middle Tennessee and settled in Maury County. I was told that they lived on the Sugar Prong of Big Bigby Creek that runs into Duck River and some five miles from Mt. Pleasant.
It is said that Sugar Creek derived its name from a wagon that was drawn along on the creek in an early day that was loaded with sugar and the wagon turned over here and part of the sugar was wasted in the dirt and hence the name. Here on this farm on Sugar Creek, my father, James Coffee Turnbo, was born February 13, 1820. There were nine children in all, four boys and five girls. The oldest child was Mary who was born in 1816. The names of the other seven children were Margarette, Andrew J., Gracy M., Elizabeth, William Clairborne, and Nancy A."
