Person:Jemima Turner (1)

From Edna Valentine:

At this date (1950) I have no more on Jemima except guess work. There was a family of Turner in or around Yaphank in the census of 1790. There were Turners in Mariches later. The most likely family seems to me to be one that is mentioned in BH Town Records! "Fire Place, Jan 4, 1802 Petition to build a schoolhouse between house of late Scudder Ketcham an the lot of land owned by John Turner "The old Ketcham Place" was about where house of Mrs. JL Valentine now stands. I think Scudder Ketcham was grandefather of the Ketchams - Timothy? - living there later in the newer house now owned by Desmond Nelson. Therefore: the families certainly lived within courting distance! In the 1790 census John Turner, 2 sons and 1 daughter is mentioned.
