Arthur Turner, the progenitor of the Turner family of Charles County,
Maryland, was born before 1622, being aged 40 or thereabouts in 1662,
[Archives of Maryl and, Vol. 53, P. 215.] and emigrated to the
Province of Maryland in or before the year 1649. [Liber ABH, Folio
371, Land Office, Annapolis, MD.] While it is not known from which
section of Great Britain he came, his background was definitely of the
country gentry, inasmuch as he was always styled "Mr" in the
provincial records and the bequeathing of a seal ring to his son and
heir definitely places him as a scion of an armorial family. [Archives
of Maryland, Vol. 53, P. 90.] he maintained a staff of servants
indentured and otherwise, and upon his immigration he transported a
manservant. [Liber ABH, Folio 371.] Further, he signed his name upon
all instruments, sometimes abbreviating his first name as Arth. He
took very little interest in politics until the overthrow of the
Proprietary Government by the Puritans in 1654, when he became one of
the delegates to the General Assembly held on the Patuxet -- thus
presenting evidence of his political alignment as a follower of Oliver
Cromwell. His friends or men with whom he was closely associated in
the Province, namely, John Hatch and Richard Smith, were likewise
members of the Puritan Party and espoused the cause of Cromwell. And
there is also evidence of his being an accomplice in the attempted
Fendall's Rebellion in 1661. [Archives of Maryland, Vol. 3, p. 445.]
Circumstances would indicate that he married shortly before his
emigration in 1649, inasmuch as he transported a wife but no children.
The following is an exact copy from the provincial record proving his
entry into the Province: [Liber ABH, Folio 371 , Liber 3, Folio 63.]
"3 March 1653/4. Arthur Turner demandeth Three hundred acres of land
for Transporting himself Mary his wife, and Joseph Edwards his Servant
into the Province about five years since. Warrt (Eod:) to lay out for
Arthur Turner three hundred Acres in any part of the Province not
formerly taken up. retd Juli." On February 12, 1649/50, he witnessed
the power of attorney granted to John Underhill to his "loveing friend
George Manners." [Archives of Maryland, Vol. 10, P. 19.] This is the
first reference found for him in court records. But he was well
established in the Province by December 10, 1649, when his failure to
transport certain cattle and other goods belonging to the Rev. Mr .
Rosier was the cause of a lawsuit instituted in the Provincial Court
on October 12, 1650. [Archives of Maryland, Vol. 10, P. 19.] On June
3, 1650, his cattle and hog marks were registered at court. [Archives
of Maryland, Vol. 10, P. 13 .]
He and his wife Mary were the parents of a son born before December 4,
1651, at which time the cattle and hog mark of "Arthur Turner the
younger" was registered at court, that is, "Cropt on both Ears and two
Slitts in the left Ear and one in the right." [Archives of Maryland,
Vol. 10, P. 113.]
By October 20, 1654, his manservant, Joseph Edwards, whom he brought
into the Province had completed his term of service, as shown by the
following: [Archive of Maryland, Vol . 10, P. 406.]
"Whereas Joseph Edwards hath Served out his time of Service due by
Indenture to Mr Arthur Turner as appeareth in Court by confession of
the said Arthur Turner and the Said Edwards hath petition this Court
for his Corne and Clothes. It is ordered that the Said Arthur Turner
Shall payd and deliver unto the Said Edwards three Barrells of Corne a
falling Axe and a weeding hoe a hatt or Cap a Shirt and pair of
stockings one Suit of woollen Clothes and a pair of Canvas Drawers
upon Demand."

Acts and Orders of a GENERAL ASSEMBLY, &c.
holden at Patuxent, the 20th October 1654, by
Commission from his Highness the Lord Protector, &c.
1.The Act of Recognition.
2. Arthur Turner and John Wade, declared Burgesses for St. Mary's
County, being returned in the Room of Thomas Hatton and Job Chandler,
who were at first returned, but refused to serve in this Assembly, as
being inconsistent with the Oath they had taken to Lord Baltimore.
===
Thus, when Arthur Turner's five children were left orphans in 1667,
the youngest was then only about a month old. The Turner family was
broken up and prominent men were appointed guardians for them. Arthur,
the eldest son, chose as his guardian, Josias Fendall, a former
Governor. The second son chose Walter Beane, a justice of the court;
the third son, James Bolling, a prominent planter; Ann, a daughter,
was apprenticed until sixteen years old to William Marshall, until
recently one of the justices, to "remaine with him unless married"
until she was twenty-one. The youngest, a month old infant, was put
out to nurse with Susanna Taylor, who was allowed 8oo pounds of
tobacco if the child died within six months, with 800 pounds more if
he died between the ages of six and eighteen months. That all did not
go well with these arrangements, and apparently also with Turner's
estate, is shown by the fact that soon afterwards some of the
guardians were changed, and provision was made for the care of certain
of the children in the county levy (pp. 106, 142, 144, 229, 230). It
may be recalled that Turner, some six years before, had appeared in a
most unpleasant role in a bastardy case in which the mother of the
child, Lucy Stratton, his servant, preferred a whipping to marriage
with him, on the ground that "hee was a lustful, very lustful man"
(Arch. Md. LIII, xxviii-xxix).

A Puritan who came from Britain to Maryland around 1649
Member of the county gentry married Mary ....
===
Arthur Turner, the progenitor of the Turner family of Charles County,
Maryland, was born before 1622, being aged 40 or thereabouts in 1662,
[Archives of Maryl and, Vol. 53, P. 215.] and emigrated to the
Province of Maryland in or before the year 1649. [Liber ABH, Folio
371, Land Office, Annapolis, MD.] While it is not know from which
section of Great Britain he came, his background was definitely of the
country gentry, inasmuch as he was always styled "Mr" in the
provincial records and the bequeathing of a seal ring to his son and
heir definitely places him as a scion of an armorial family. [Archives
of Maryland, Vol. 53, P. 90.] he maintained a staff of servants
indentured and otherwise, and upon his immigration he transported a
manservant. [Liber ABH, Folio 371.] Further, he signed his name upon
all instruments, sometimes abbreviating his first name as Arth. He
took very little interest in politics until the overthrow of the
Proprietary Government by the Puritans in 1654, when he became one of
the delegates to the General Assembly held on the Patuxet -- thus
presenting evidence of his political alignment or a follower of Oliver
Cromwell. His friends or men with whom he was closely associated in
the Province, namely, John Hatch and Richard Smith, were likewise
members of the Puritan Party and espoused the cause of Cromwell. And
there is also evidence of his being an accomplice in the attempted
Fendall's Rebellion in 1661. [Archives of Maryland, Vol. 3, p. 445.]
Circumstances would indicate that he married shortly before his
emigration in 1649, inasmuch as he transported a wife but no children.
The following is an exact copy from the provincial record proving his
entry into the Province: [Liber ABH, Folio 371 , Liber 3, Folio 63.]
"3 March 1653/4. Arthur Turner demandeth Three hundred acres of land
for Transporting himself Mary his wife, and Joseph Edwards his Servant
into the Province about five years since. Warrt (Eod:) to lay out for
Arthur Turner three hundred Acres in any part of the Province not
formerly taken up. retd Juli." On February 12, 1649/50, he witnessed
the power of attorney granted to John Underhill to his "loveing friend
George Manners." [Archives of Maryland, Vol. 10, P. 19.] This is the
first reference found for him in court records. But he was well
established in the Province by December 10, 1649, when his failure to
transport certain cattle and other goods belonging to the Rev. Mr .
Rosier was the cause of a lawsuit instituted in the Provincial Court
on October 12, 1650. [Archives of Maryland, Vol. 10, P. 19.] On June
3, 1650, his cattle and hog marks were registered at court. [Archives
of Maryland, Vol. 10, P. 13 .]
He and his wife Mary were the parents of a son born before December 4,
1651, at which time the cattle and hog mark of "Arthur Turner the
younger" was registered at court, that is, "Cropt on both Ears and two
Slitts in the left Ear and one in the right." [Archives of Maryland,
Vol. 10, P. 113.]
By October 20, 1654, his manservant, Joseph Edwards, whom he brought
into the Province had completed his term of service, as shown by the
following: [Archive of Maryland, Vol . 10, P. 406.]
"Whereas Joseph Edwards hath Served out his time of Service due by
Indenture to Mr Arthur Turner as appeareth in Court by confession of
the said Arthur Turner and the Said Edwards hath petition this Court
for his Corne and Clothes. It is ordered that the Said Arthur Turner
Shall payd and deliver unto the Said Edwards three Barrells of Corne a
falling Axe and a weeding hoe a hatt or Cap a Shirt and pair of
stockings one Suit of woollen Clothes and a pair of Canvas Drawers
upon Demand."
At the overthrow of the Proprietary Government by the Puritans in
1654, William Hatton and Job Chandler refused to serve as delegates
from St. Mary's County

Gwen,
I thought you might find this interesting.
I found out that my great Uncle has some of my grandparents papers
and in them they talk about "our English Turner ancestor", they state
that our ancestor was of wealth and prestige, and that he got the
upstairs servant girl in a family way. The woman gave birth to a baby
girl, but did not want to marry our ancestor, so he released her of
her servitude. Because our ancestor was widowed, it did not set well
with the Turner family and they wrote him out of the will. They think
that he later returned to England to marry a second time.
Also: Elizah Portor Turner, my gggreat Uncle's descendants, stated
in their e-mails, that our ancestor's name began with an A: Alan,
Abraham, or something like that, Elizah couldn't remember; and that
their mother and Aunt had written on scrapes of paper stories they
were told as children and placed in the family bible. And secondly
that because his father was orphaned by both parents, and raised by
family, we would never be able to trace our roots: this is true by the
death of Butler Turner and his wife, John Hollidays father, and
grandfather to Elizah.
I know that this does not actually prove a thing, but the papers
were written long before my research ever began into the Turner
lineage, even before I was born, probably sometime in the early
1900's. But considering what is written about Lucie Stratton, and
Arthur Turner, it seems a big coincidence. Considering we have only
been tied to this line so far by a 37 DNA marker match. And then
adding on what Elizah's family sent me. It does seem to fit, that
James Turner, Sr. does somehow belong to Arthur Turner.
