Notes

"A Puritan who came from Britan 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 emigration 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
