12053 THOMAS JEFFERSON TURLEY was born in Montgomery County, Kentucky, 8 March 1816 and died in 1895 in Gallatin County, Kentucky. He moved with his parents to Gallatin County, Kentucky where he married Artemesia Graves Lillard who was born 8 June 1817. She was the daughter of Rev. David and Mary (Spencer) Lillard. Her father was for many years minister of the Ten Mile Baptist Church in Napoleon, Gallatin County. Artemesia was married in the 1830s to Willis Green and was a widow with three children when she married Thomas Jefferson Turley. The marriage bond was dated 6 September 1841 and the wedding was 7 September 1841. A settlement on her dower from the estate of her late husband was made in 1846. At that time she received a third of a tract of land on Eagle Creek and a slave named Caroline from his estate. Thomas Jefferson Turley was appointed guardian to the Green children: Anna Mary Green, David L. Green and John R. Green.

In a history of the Ten Mile Baptist Church it is stated that in October 1895, Artie Turley was "called home," to be followed a few weeks later by her husband.839 Her tombstone in the churchyard, however, bears the inscription that Artemesia Graves Lillard was born 8 June 1817 and died 27 October 1897. The date of death on Thomas Jefferson Turley's stone is 15 December 1895. The two marriages of Artemesia Graves Lillard are also listed on the stone.

In 1846 Thomas Jefferson Turley purchased ninety acres from Joseph Lillard; he also bought ninety acres on Little Sugar Creek from M. J. Williams in 1846. By 1851 when he sold his share in his father's estate to his brother, Joseph Turley,841 he had acquired 217 acres on Little Sugar Creek. In i860 he purchased from David L. Green, and wife, and John R. Green their rights and interests in two tracts of land on Eagle Creek. In addition he purchased a tract from Benjamin B. Spencer and his wife, formerly Anna Mary Green.844 The interests in the Lillard estate were purchased in 1866 and 1867. The land acquisitions continued until on the 1870 census, Thomas J. Turley had real estate valued at $20,000 and personal property of $8,000.

During the period from 1865-1870 a tremendous amount of money was put in circulation by the government and prices rose, making it a time of prosperity. The farmer was affected adversely by this, though, and the mounting inflation that continued into the seventies. All this was reflected with the number of transactions in land in the area of Kentucky where Thomas Jefferson Turley lived. By 1880 the situation had changed and the deed books reflected numerous transactions based on mortgages with the income from future crops involved. It was a difficult time in the Napoleon area.

At the March term of the Gallatin County Court in 1880, J. H. McDanell and E. M. Holton were appointed appraisers of the personal estate of T. J. Turley, as presented to them by William Turley and William L. Richards, trustees of "said Turley." His deed of assignment to them for the benefit of his creditors excepted "therefrom as much of said personal property as was exempt and set apart." The appraisal was made 1 April 1880 and a value given of $1114.75.

In 1883 three tracts of land were sold: the sixty-eight acres on the Cincinnati Road, Lot 8 in Napoleon, and 178 acres on Cincinnati Road. The tracts were sold by the Commissioners of Deeds and William Turley as Trustee.

In the 1880 census five children with the surname Walls were living with Artemesia and Thomas J. Turley. They were Susie Walls, age thirteen, Roberta Walls, age eleven, Annie Walls age nine, T.J. Walls, age seven and Jannie Walls, age five. These children were listed as grandchildren. This would seem to indicate the death of a daughter and son-in-law. Artemesia, born about 1845, was the daughter.

The son of Thomas Jefferson and Artemesia, Thomas Jefferson Turley, II, died in 1883. His son, Thomas Jefferson Turley, III, was just a boy and he was raised by his grandfather. According to Leoard Turley, son of Thomas Jefferson Turley, III, "His grandfather was almost a father for dad, who followed him around over the farm in Montgomery County, Kentucky, almost everywhere he went and to the mill, on horseback, when he took corn to be ground into meal. His grandfather told him stories about the family, which had been handed down to him through his own grandfather, this same James Turley b. 1761, he said. That is that James' father William, with his brother James and a sister... came over from Wales in the early seventeen hundreds and settled in Virginia, later Culpepper County. This is the origin of the tradition that the line came from Wales - a tradition unique to the line of William^ (Jamesl).

A list of the property of the estate of Thomas Jefferson Turley, deceased, as appraised was submitted 23 December 1895 to the Gallatin County Court by the appraisers, J. L. Henrix, Elijah Hogan and J. T. Robinson. A sale was held 4 January 1896 and was recorded at the March term of court that year. The estate included farm animals and equipment in addition to household items.

12065 Timothy Carl Fieseler
August 17, 1968 - March 25, 2024

Timothy Carl (Tim, TC) Fieseler, 55, passed away suddenly at his home in Cedar City, Utah, on March 25th, 2024. He was born on August 17th, 1968, in Norwalk, CA, to Barbara Mae Maudsley Fieseler Adams and Donald Vance Fieseler. As the youngest of their five children, Tim moved with his family to LaVerkin, UT, when he was just two years old, where they built their family home. Tim was a mischievous and adventurous child, a trait he never quite outgrew.

He graduated from Hurricane High School, where he enjoyed wrestling and boxing, and later pursued further education at Dixie College. Tim married Connie Mann Fieseler in 1992, and they had four children together, however later divorced. His adventurous spirit led him to travel and work in several places like Connecticut and Alaska, but Southern Utah was always his home; it was where he was raised, and it was the place where he started and raised his own family.

In his lifetime, Tim wore many hats, both literally and figuratively. A craftsman by trade and an artist at heart, Tim was in his element when creating something new. Whether it was skilled stonemasonry, intricately carving apples, or writing poetry, he poured his heart into every endeavor. His meticulous nature ensured that every project he undertook was completed with precision and care. While Tim's ambition knew few limits, he frequently found himself juggling multiple projects, which often led to them remaining unfinished. Nonetheless, Tim's passion for his craft and dedication to his work were evident to all who knew him.

Tim had a deep love for nature and the outdoors, a passion he shared with his children. He loved to garden, camp, and go fishing. He had a profound appreciation for books and music, and he was always singing, talking, and laughing to himself. He was an avid collector of many things, and if you ever needed a certain part or item for a project, you could be sure Tim would have at least twelve in different sizes!

Tim had the most unique sense of humor and was known for his quick wit. He always had a joke at the ready and wasn't afraid to laugh at them, even if he was the only one; a trait that endeared him to many. And his many mannerisms, expressions, and jokes will be fondly remembered and missed by all who knew him.

He loved his boys and adored his daughters. He was far from perfect, but his genuine love for his family and humor through life left an indelible mark on everyone he met.

Timothy is preceded in death by his parents Barbara Mae Maudsley Fieseler Adams and Donald Vance Fieseler, as well as his older brother Daniel Vance Fieseler and nephew Christopher Fieseler.

Tim is survived by his five children: Tori Frei, Jamison Fieseler, Nicholas (Kylee) Fieseler, Kaden (Jordan) Fieseler, and Emily Fieseler; One granddaughter, Lila (Kaden) Fieseler; and his surviving siblings: Deborah (Charles - deceased) Layton, Teresa (Stuart) Spendlove, and Michael (Debi) Fieseler. As well as a host of other relatives and friends who will miss him dearly.

Services for Timothy will be held at Serenity Funeral Home (1316 S 400 E STE A6, St. George, UT 84790) on Saturday, April 13th at 11:00 am with a viewing prior from 9:30 am-10:30 am.

52. DAVID2 TURLEY (Jamesl) was born 26 December 1783, probably in Henry County, Virginia. He married about 1805 Mary (Polly), daughter of William and Mary Ribelin of Montgomery County, Kentucky. She was born 15 October 1784 in Virginia, and died 23 February 1866 in Montgomery County, Kentucky. David Turley probably died in Montgomery County, Kentucky, in 1825.

In 1795 when David Turley, the oldest son of James and Agnes Turley, was twelve he probably moved with his parents to the present Montgomery County, Kentucky. In 1804 when he was twenty-one he was first taxed in Montgomery County. He owned no land, no slaves and one horse. He continued to be taxed yearly through 1823 with the exception of 1814 and 1816. Occasionally he owned as many as four horses. He never owned slaves. Only in 1815 was David Turley taxed as a land owner. This land was described on the tax list that year as thirty acres on Harper's Creek, entered by John Barton. On 1 November 1811 David Turley sold lot 24 in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, to Edward Roberts for $102.00. It is not known when David Turley acquired the lot or why he was not taxed on it.

David Turley was listed in the 1810 and 1820 census for Montgomery County, Kentucky. The listings and age categories for each year agree with the known structure of David and Polly Turley's family with one exception. In 1810 a male 16-26, born 1784-1794, was living in their household. This person is thought to be David's younger brother, William Turley, who was born in 1791 and who later married Polly's sister, Elizabeth Ribelin.

On 20 January 1825 David and Polly Turley, along with other heirs of William Ribelin, were ordered by the Montgomery County, Kentucky, Circuit Court to convey land on Slate Creek, a fork of the Licking River, to William Payne. The final settlement of William Ribelin's estate did not take place until 9 January 1831. Polly Turley was named as an heir.
Polly Turley received fourteen acres of land on Slate Creek as her share of her father's estate, for which she was taxed in 1825 and 1826. On 29 September 1831 she bought thirty-three acres on Slate Creek from John Ribelin and Jane, his wife. Polly Turley was taxed on this land 1829-1831. On 12 August 1840 Polly bought twelve acres, two rods, twenty-nine poles of land on Slate Creek from Samuel Shultz.

In 1830 Polly Turley was listed in the Montgomery County, Kentucky, census as the head of a household. In 1850 and 1860 she was living in Montgomery County with her son Willis Turley.

When Polly Turley died her son James Turley was executor of her estate.121 Her heirs were listed as: W. W. Payne and Elizabeth, William Turley of Illinois, D. Harrison Turley and Polly Ann McNabb of Indiana, John Turley of Missouri, Willis Turley, John Shultz, only son of her deceased daughter, Lucy Shultz, and James Turley.

In 1927 at a reunion of the descendants of Polly Turley's son, David Harrison Turley, it was said of Polly that she was "...a most estimable woman. Left with a large family of children to support, she held the reins of government in strong capable hands and with much hard labor, self denial and rigourous discipline she reared a family of good Christian men and women."

WILLIAM TURLEY was born 29 November 1781 either in Franklin County, Virginia, or in South Carolina. He died 4 March 1845 in Gallatin County, Kentucky. in 1813 he married Elizabeth Reiblin,194 who was born 10 January 1795 and died in 1850 or 1851 in Gallatin County, Kentucky. Elizabeth Ribelin was the daughter of William and Mary (Kiher) Ribelin and a sister of Polly Ribelin who married David Turley, brother of William Turley.

William Turley remained in Montgomery County, Kentucky, when his parents and younger brothers and sisters moved to Union County, Kentucky in 1815. On 11 December 1822 James Turley of the State of Illinois appointed his three sons, Samuel, William and John to be his attorney to sell a parcel of land for him in Montgomery County where his sons are residents. In 1814 he was first taxed in Montgomery County. Beginning in 1820 he was taxed for thirty eight acres on Slate Creek. In 1825 he was taxed for sixty-nine acres and in 1830 and 1831 for ninety-two acres. On 24 October 1835 William Turley and Elizabeth, his wife, of Montgomery County sold fifty acres on Slate Creek "where they now live," to Thomas Grubbs.

William Turley was listed in the 1820 and 1830 census for Montgomery County, Kentucky. in 1820 William, age twenty-six to forty five, had four sons under ten. In 1830 he had seven sons under fifteen and two daughters under ten.

On 27 November 1837 William Turley appeared in Gallatin County, Kentucky, records when he purchased land there from Thomas J. Lillard and Nancy, his wife, of Anderson County, Kentucky. William Turley paid $3400.00 for the tract which was 170 acres and 26 poles and was bound by Joseph Lillard and M. J. Williams. The record of this purchase does not agree with a more fanciful family tradition telling that William Turley acquired his first land in Gallatin from an Indian for a shotgun and a pony.

In the 1840 census for Gallatin County there were eight males under thirty listed in the William Turley household. One male thirty to forty was probably William listed incorrectly, as he was then forty-nine. Also listed were three females under twenty and one female forty to fifty. Six persons in the household were engaged in agriculture and one in trade.

William Turley’s will, dated 26 March 1841, was presented in the April-May session of the Gallatin County Court in 1845. The will stated that all perishables in the estate be sold immediately after his decease and that the monies be used to pay funeral expenses and depts. The farm and appurtenances were left to Elizabeth as long as she remained his widow for her support and that of the children. The estate was to be divided equally among the children after Elizbeth’s death. Will Turley appointed his sons Joseph Turley and Thomas Jefferson Turley to be his executors. Witnesses to the will were P. P. Hannah and M. J. Williams. On 7 June 1845 the executors presented an inventory to the Gallatin County Court. Included were seven horses, oxen, steers, cows, a hog, calves, sheep and a Jack, as well as household goods and farm equipment. A sale was held 18 June 1845. Final settlement was made 10 April 1848.

The 1850 census of Gallatin County, Kentucky, listed Elizabeth Turley, age fifty-five, as the head of a household, Her property was valued at $5,000.00. Living with her were John M. Turley and five younger children, two of whom had attended school during the year past. Nearby were living Elizabeth Turley's older children and their families.

Evidently Elizabeth Turley died soon after the 1850 census was taken. On 8 February 1851 Thomas J. Turley and Artemesia, his wife, entered into an indenture with Joseph Turley where for $386.00 they released their entire claim in a certain tract of land in Gallatin County. The tract was described as "The same tract of land conveyed to William Turley dec. in his lifetime by Thos. J. Lillard and containing 170 acres and 26 poles."

Turley, Mary Turley, William Turley and Nancy his wife, all of Gallatin County, and Joseph Turley wherein Joseph Turley purchased from the others their interest in the farm lately owned by William Turley, deceased. Joseph Turley paid $400.00 to each of his brothers and sisters. A graveyard which was to be ten feet wide and parallel to the garden fence to the Warsaw road was excepted in the deed. In 1853 Joseph Turley gave an inventory in court in Gallatin County as guardian of Peter Turley and Samuel Turley, minor sons of William Turley, deceased. Included for each was interest due on 1/11 of a tract of land near Napoleon, Kentucky, containing 170 acres.

WILLIAM TURLEY was born 29 November 1781 either in Franklin County, Virginia, or in South Carolina.192 He died 4 March 1845 in Gallatin County, Kentucky.in 1813 he married Elizabeth Reiblin, who was born 10 January 1795 and died in 1850 or 1851 in Gallatin County, Kentucky. Elizabeth Ribelin was the daughter of William and Mary (Kiher) Ribelin and a sister of Polly Ribelin who married David Turley, brother of William Turley.

William Turley remained in Montgomery County, Kentucky, when his parents and younger brothers and sisters moved to Union County, Kentucky in 1815. On 11 December 1822 James Turley of the State of Illinois appointed his three sons, Samuel, William and John to be his attorney to sell a parcel of land for him in Montgomery County where his sons are residents. in 1814 he was first taxed in Montgomery County. Beginning in 1820 he was taxed for thirty eight acres on Slate Creek. In 1825 he was taxed for sixty-nine acres and in 1830 and 1831 for ninety-two acres. On 24 October 1835 William Turley and Elizabeth, his wife, of Montgomery County sold fifty acres on Slate Creek "where they now live," to Thomas Grubbs,

William Turley was listed in the 1820 and 1830 census for Montgomery County, Kentucky. in 1820 William, age twenty-six to forty five, had four sons under ten. In 1830 he had seven sons under fifteen and two daughters under ten.

On 27 November 1837 William Turley appeared in Gallatin County, Kentucky, records when he purchased land there from Thomas J. Lillard and Nancy, his wife, of Anderson County, Kentucky. William Turley paid $3400.00 for the tract which was 170 acres and 26 poles and was bound by Joseph Lillard and M. J. Williams. The record of this purchase does not agree with a more fanciful family tradition telling that William Turley acquired his first land in Gallatin from an Indian for a shotgun and a pony.

In the 1840 census for Gallatin County there were eight males under thirty listed in the William Turley household. One male thirty to forty was probably William listed incorrectly, as he was then forty-nine. Also listed were three females under twenty and one female forty to fifty. Six persons in the household were engaged in agriculture and one in trade.

William Turley’s will, dated 26 March 1841, was presented in the April-May session of the Gallatin County Court in 1845.

The farm and appurtenances were left to Elizabeth as long as she remained his widow for her support and that of the children.

12097 Turley Reunion
The Seventh Annual Turley Reunion was held Sunday, September 4, 1927 at the beautiful country home of Mrs. Rose Watson. The following family history was written and read by Mrs. Watson.
David Harrison, son of David and Polly Ribelin Turley, was born August 31, 1815 in Montgomery County, Kentucky, near Mt. Sterling. Left with a large family of children to support, she held the reins of government in strong capable hands and with much hard labor, self denial, and rigorous discipline, she reared a family of good Christian men and women.
He was a saddler by trade, making and trimming the saddles in wonderful geometric designs to meet the designs of the times. He united with and was baptized into the old Christian Church at Corinth, Kentucky when he was 17 years old.
At the age of 23 with two brothers, William and John, he started out to seek his fortune. His sister, Polly Ann, had married Thomas McNabb and moved to Indiana. He came to her home in Morgan County, his brothers located and making homes. William in Illinois and John in Missouri. In a short time he met and wooed Elizabeth McNabb to whom he was married July 12, 1838.
For several years they lived on a forty acre farm inherited by his wife, where most of their family of eight children were born. The children were Sarah Jane, Rebecca, John, Mary Elizabeth, Andrew J., David H., Martha, and Margaret Alice. He then bought the farm of 136 acres of Daniel Vert and moved into the log house standing on it. Here Elizbeth died October 24, 1855, and the motherless family struggled on until January 8, 1857 when he married Susan Virginia House.
He must have had a wonderful personality, when I think how he, a widower of 41 years with a family of 8 children, ranging from 15 years to a few months in age, could win the heart of a 19 year old girl, and hold it all through the succeeding years of their life together. To gain her parent’s consent to the marriage of their youngest child, I am amazed and wonder how he did it. Nevertheless it was accomplished and another family of children was added to the first.
Jane married, but Cora came to fill her place, then came Colona, whom we always called Joe, Honors, Leora, Katherine and Rose. And finally the long looked for son, Willis, whom everyone called “Brother”. Sometime after the second marriage the brick house was built and the family moved in, and from that time on, this house was a center of hospitality in the neighborhood.
Some years after coming to Indiana he changed his membership to the church called “Friendship”, where he and his family worshipped and he served as a Deacon until October 28, 1888, when they came to Mt. Gilead. His home was always open to the ministers of both churches and Family Prayer and Grace at meals were regular institutions for several years before his death.
He was very quiet self contained man. Just twice in my life did I see him give way to emotion. Once when his favorite brother, John, died very suddenly at his home in Missouri and the other when my little seven year old brother, the only son of his second marriage and the pride and hope of his old age, was taken away. He was very temperate in all things. His maxim was to always leave the table when a little hungry and I never knew him to suffer from indigestion, and at the time of his death his hearing was good. He used glasses only to read and he was the proud possessor of all of his teeth but one.
I have heard him tell how when he was a boy, whiskey was place on the table.
