7. ↑ The child listed on Bailis' Application for Pension as Dependant Father of Bailis M. Turner was David B (?), born 7 Sep 1834. The only mention of William is on the census and in Bailis' applying for Letters of Administration for William. So this is just a guess as to his birth date. Nothing else has been found and no one seems to have heard of a David before.
