I was wondering what records might be in Ireland. Let us know what you find and take some photos. I bet it is beautiful. I'm specifically wondering if there are other children not previously mentioned/discovered. Still looking for leads on Samuel, born 1812 SC, he belongs to them somewhere but just trying to find his parents. Philip Turner <tutor7798@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi Carol, Most likely that is impossible. I simply reported the history as I found it. There is no record of a Rev. Turner living in Somerset County in the 17th Century. Ministers were extremely scarce on the Eastern Shore. If he had been there, his presence would have been recorded by someone. Phil cgreen3142@comcast.net wrote: I am quite interested in your post about William Turner but the dates don't seem to jibe. You say he was born in 1645 and emigrated to Maryland in 1741. That just doesn't seem possible.
