William Turnbull came to America 1780 from Kelso Roxburgh Scotland. He first landed in Virginia, where I believe he had relatives, but as yet I have not been able to link them. I have found that a John Turnbull came from Roxburgh, Scotland and moved into Virginia before William Turnbull. William's brother, Thomas Family came from Scotland later, but I believe they stayed in New York. Whereas William soon moved to Davison County Tennessee, married Elizabeth Marshall and then moved on into Ohio, Illinois and Iowa. This line goes into the Nash line, where one of the families was murdered in Illinois because of their Mormon faith. These lines also run into Joseph Smith and Emma Hale. This line covers Mayflower, some of the first Colonist in America and some of the founding fathers of VA, PA, Ky, Ohio. Some of the surnames- Turnbull, Marshall, Hunter,Ward, Brown, Sterrett, Smith, McClellen, Nash, Tuttle , Wilson, Stewart - and many more.

The Turnbulls - 'I saved the King'
The Turnbulls in Scotland belonged to what is known as the Border Reivers, those clans that survived by raiding and looting. Disturbing as this may sound, it must be remembered that the Border Clans lived between two countries in constant warfare. The objective was to survive at any cost and by any means. It was not only the way of life, but a necessary way of life. It goes without saying then, that the Turnbulls were far from being law abiding citizens. In fact, it was quite the opposite. Only twice is a Turnbull mentioned as having a connection with the administration of the law. The first was John Turnbull, who was Sheriff of Selkirkshire in 1360, and another in 1364 held the post of Deputy Sheriff. The Turnbull's reputation for unruliness and disrespect for authority was so great that not only were they a regular in Pitcairn's Criminal Trials, but in 1510, King James IV had two hundred Clansmen arrested, forcing them stand before him wearing sheets with swords in hand and halters around their neck. Some were eventually hanged while others were imprisoned. The mercenary tactics of King James caused many of the Clan to flee. Some went to Europe and joined mercenary bands, while others went further North.
