Note	<b>WILLIAM (Big Bill) STURGILL</b> and his wife, Sarah Osborne, remained on the Ashe Co. farm owned by his father when Joel moved to Scott Co.VA about 1838. About the time that Joel moved to Missouri (1841) William and Sarah moved to KY, prbably to Carter Co. where he had close relatives. In 1854 they returned to the Ashe Co. NC farm where they lived out their lives. They are buried in the Lewis Cemetery on Roundabout Creek in Ashe Co. -pg 90 NOTE: The loss of three of their children in Kentucky was probably one of the reasons why William and Sarah decided to return to NC. NOTE 2: Census records show Sarah b1852 in KY and Joel b.1854 in NC. This places the date William returned to Ashe Co from KY as 1853-54. NOTE 3: William named his first son WILBURN WATERS after his half indian uncle Wilburn Waters who became famous for his explorations of White Top Mtn. and Mt. Rogers.
