King Turpin, Jr.'s (my grandfather's) parents were King Turpin, Sr. and Elizabeth (Belle) Magsby. We have known this to be true for many years; however, we have not known who Belle's parents were, until recently.
Through census searches, DNA matches, and a confirmation of findings by Wilma Dunaway, I have come to the conclusion that William Scott Magby/McBee and Freely Parthenia Childress were Belle's parents. William Scott McBee was born July 4, 1845 and died October 14, 1927. His wife died about 1891 shortly after Belle was born.
William was buried in the Lenoir City Cemetery in Lenoir City, Tennessee. In October of 2020, I discovered his grave. You can join me in that discovery by viewing the video.
