William received his share of his father's estate as a gift by deed dated July 15, 1754. It was approximately 200 acres and later sold to Moses Hopwood. It was probably a wedding present, since his son, Lewis Ellzey Turner, was born September 14, 1754. Although the land was actually given to him in 1752, the deed was not acknowledged until 1754.

His fathers will he states: I give to my son William Turner, 10 pounds current money and all my wearing apparel and no more of my estate.
