Susan Cary & all,
The most well-known line of Turbervilles in England were those who
established themselves gradually at the manor of Bere Regis in the county of
Dorset in the early 1200's, possibly as a result of service to
King John who had a favored hunting lodge there. Some early charters
indicate that there were Turbervilles within Dorset as early as 1166. There
was a tenuous connection between the Turbervilles who arrived in
Dorsetshire, possibly from Gloucestershire by way of Devonshire, and an
elder line of Turbervilles at Crickhowell Castle in Wales.
I have quite a bit of info on the Turbervilles of Bere Regis, Dorset-shire,
England. There were several Mathews, but I cannot match up the Mathew
Turberville & daughter Alice (that have been said to connect to
the ancestry of American Pres. U.S. Grant) with the main branch of Bere
Turbervilles. There were some younger lines of the main branch scattered
about the area of Dorset, but I cannot connect a Mathew born 1555 with
any of them. There is extensive coverage of the Bere line in John Hutchins,
_History and Antiquities of Dorset_, originally published in the late
1700's, but available in reprint at some large research libraries. Sometimes
available for interlibrary loan.
The earliest of the name Matthew that I've found was a Matthew Turberville,
1562-1624 of the Bere line, buried at St. Martin's Church, Co. Dorset, but I
have no marriage record or children record for him. He was son of Thomas
Turberville of Wool, co. Dorset, and his wife Margaret Goldisborow. IF
Alice's birth year is correct at 1577, THEN this Matthew, born 1562, would
have been age 15 at Alice's birth. Other Matthew Turbervilles came along
later and could not have been Alice's father.
As it is, it seems likely that Alice, whom I've seen connected with
Devonshire as well as Dorsetshire, in some Grant genealogies and abstracts,
was probably of a different line other than the main line of
Turbervilles at Bere Regis and Wool in Dorsetshire.
Have never found the original source for the Grant genealogies that list
Alice as a Turberville or as a daughter of a Mathew Turberville or Tuber-
ville. Have you, Susan? And so I've found no actual record of Alice's
alleged Turberville father. Tuberville is just one of many variants of the
spelling of the name.
