| 9932 | SAMUEL TURLEY, youngest child of William and Elizabeth (Ribelin) Turley, was probably born in Napoleon, Gallatin County, Kentucky. The 1850 census lists his age as twelve, indicating that he was born about 1838. In 1837 his father had purchased 170 acres in Gallatin, which became the site of the family home. Samuel died in 1883 and, according to family tradition, is buried in the family graveyard on the homestead. An article in the Glencoe News in 1875 said that "Mrs. Grundy" announced the forthcoming marriage of Kate Wilson of Lexington to Samuel Turley, but tradition is that he never married. - After the death of his mother in 1851, Samuel Turley's brothers, Joseph Addison and Thomas Jefferson Turley, were appointed his guardian. They gave an inventory of his share of the estate in 1853. Samuel made his home with his brother Joseph Turley and his family and was known in later years as Samuel Turley, Sr. In 1859, when he was twenty-one, he sold his share in his father's estate, as well as the portion he inherited upon the death of his sister, Lucy A., to Joseph Turley. Samuel Turley was clerk of the Ten Mile Church some years before 1869 and was listed as a school teacher on the 1870 census. He became Common School Commissioner for Gallatin County in 1875, continuing until 1879, and in that year also served as Commissioner of Colored Schools. He taught school in 1875 and 1876. In 1879 the Glencoe News reported that Mr. Samuel Turley, school superintendent and surveyor was registered at the Glencoe Hotel. On 18 August 1879 he was appointed Postmaster at Napoleon and continued in that position until his death. He was enumerator for the 1880 Federal Census, Gallatin County, Supervisor District #4. He also owned a general store in Napoleon. In 1879 he sold forty-six acres to William N. Henderson. From that year through 1882, when times were difficult for many farmers in the area, he was one of the principal lenders, accepting mortgages against personal property in fifteen transactions, sometimes in conjunction with his brother, William Turley. Interestingly, in 1882 William was the lender to Samuel. At the November, 1883, term of the Gallatin County Court, M. H. Lillard and W. 0. Thomas were appointed appraisers of the estate of Samuel Turley, deceased. William Turley was administrator. A sale was held 9 December 1883 of items from Samuel Turley's store. Included were items such as caps, gloves, boots and bolts, which brought a total of $46.21 from over a hundred purchases. The appraisal of remaining items and the balance of the estate, including numerous accounts outstanding and notes, was presented to the court 18 February 1884 for a value of $30,154.34. A list of heirs of Samuel Turley who were named as defendants in a suit over the sale of property, September, 1885, included the following: Wm. Turley, J. H. Turley, Jos. A. Turley, H. C. Turley, Emma Peace, G. E. Peace her husband, Chas. E. Turley, Eulilia E. Broatman, James Broatman, her husband, V/m. H. Turley, Joseph S. Turley, James Leonard Turley, Robert Leslie Turley.
