At some point in the latter quarter of the 1800's, Serelda Turpin and her children (Frank, Laura, and King) roamed homeless until they ended up in Hardin Valley (Knox County, Tennessee). We do not yet know exactly where Serelda and her children initially settled; however, contrary to my comments in the video, we do now know that it was not at the site identified here in this post and video.
A title search has uncovered the following information about the parcel of land shown in the video:
November 5, 1907 (Book 218, Page 270)
Grantee: Frank Turpin (King and Laura Turpin's brother)
Grantor: Robert Brashears
8 1/2 acres in district 9 (Hardin Valley area)
Purchase Price: $80
My Note: It appears that Frank Turpin is the first Turpin to own land in Knox County.
The home shown in the following video is the Hardin Valley home of Frank and Laura (siblings) Turpin--two of Serelda's children.
