• Notes

  Julia appears to have married John Wright at the tender age of 16 - likely because she was pregnant with their first child, John -in Dublin. John Wright died while on a visit to his brother in America, and left Julia a rich widow. She remarried Anglican Edward Ford Turvey, also from the Dublin area. He lost most of her fortune in a business venture with Aiken and McGrath, ship owners. Edward Ford Turvey organised a party of settlers including his wife's brothers Peter Clarke Daniel, Sampson O'Malia Daniel and John Nevins Daniel in 1820.{cldaniel@mweb.co.za } Grahamstown Journal reports her death. "December 1837 Departed this life on Friday evening, 1st Dec. Mrs.Julia TURVEY, aged 60 years, deeply regretted by her numerous offspring. She was a tender Mother, a faithful Wife and sincere Friend. Her early prospects ill fitted her to combat with an adverse world; but it brought her nearer to her God and enabled her to triumph over Death and the Grave, imparting a happy consolation to her bereaved partner, to whom a union of 32 years only served to increase her affection, and who leaves this testimony of her worth."
