No. #492 Robert/Robert Turner - Not sure what the name or word is before Sylvia who is identified as his mother
To me it looks like "Breemo" which might be referring to John Hartwell Cocke's Bremo plantation in Fluvanna which was right next door to Goochland. Perhaps Sylvia was enslaved there, which might make sense if Robert was emancipated by another Cocke family member. I'll add it in brackets!
Thanks. I am going to check with Andi Cumbo.
