Turpins of Chicago, OH, SC, PA, & RI
Looking for info on the Turpins who moved from Providence, RI to Charleston, SC,(1700s)to PA, and then to Erie Co, Sandusky Area, Ohio.(1800s) On to Chicago (1900s) where the line died with my mother, Schreen Grace Turpin.
All the men were named William or Joseph. I'm trying to connect William Peter Turpin b Jul 1819 in PA as son of William Turpin, Jr. B. ca 1772-1785 son of Joseph who d Charleston 22 Sep1784.He was son of Captain Joseph Turpin b 1728/9 in RI and d 4 Jul 1784 in Charleston.

William Peter Turpin's son was Aurelius Curry who went on to Chicago and was in real estate. D 1940. His son, Alvin Bud, d Chicago 1956. The cross-eyed comic Ben Turpin was a cousin of this family, visiting often in Chicago. Will be happy to trade any info.
