"1. Edward Turner seems to have been the first of this branch of the Turner family to come to America. His antecedents are as yet unknown. According to Savage, he married, October 25, 1656, O. S., Mary, daughter of Richard Sanford, of Boston, whose house lot was on the square lying north of the present Cambridge Street, and contained about one acre. He went to Milford, Conn., where his first three children were baptized. He was an elder of the church, and his wife was admitted to church-membership February 16, 1662. … From Milford Edward Turner went to Middletown, where he was an inhabitant in 1666, and remained there until his death. His gravestone, which was preserved until about 1871 in the Riverside Cemetery, bore the following inscription: 'Here lieth the body of Mr. Edward Turner Senr, who died April the 4, 1717, in the 84 year of his age.' His will was made January 17, 1716-17, and probated June 4, 1717. The original may be found at the Probate Court in Hartford. It mentions sons Richard and John, son Stephen 'if he ever come to demand it,' 'grandson Stephen,' and 'Abigail sister to the said Stephen,' they 'being the children of my son Edward Turner deceased;' 'Mary,' 'wife of Ebenezar Eaglestone daughter,' 'of my daughter Mercy deceased;' 'Thomas and Abigail Millar the children and only heirs of my daughter Elizabeth deceased;' 'Mary my daughter now the wife of Samuel Bow;' 'daughter Hannah now the wife of John Runny.'"
