From A Branch of the STURGILL FAMILY...
JAMES GEORGE STURGILL went to Missourri with his father's family in 1841. In Sullivan Co, MO he met and married his wife Mary Donoho and in 1850 he brought her back to the Ashe Co. NC farm which his father still owned; their first two children were born in NC. When James' brother William returned to NC from KY in 1854-55 James turned the farm over to him and moved his family to California where he joined the gold rush near Sutters Mill. He died at Oakland CA but his place of burial is not known. - pg93B
