Manerva Zeak/Zick who married William Turner in Claiborne Co. I think all the Zeaks listed in the Claiborne Co marriage records were her siblings. I found them as Zick on one census (I think they were listed under Jacob Zick) in either Claiborne or Union Co, and I believe I found them listed under ZUCK in Grainger Co, too.
