Holden H. Turner Pop-up Pedigree Note*: Holden TURNER was born on 4 Nov 1760 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.He was christened on 8 Nov 1760 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Hedied about 1844 in Fredericton, York Co., NB. He was a Cordwainer. FromAyr, Ayrshire,Scotland. Served in 22nd Regiment stationed at Halifaxprior to 1783. First settled at Lincoln, Sunbury Co., NB from 1784 to Abt1821, where they raised 10 children.. Purchased land in Fredericton in1801. But he did not remove to Fredericton, York Co., NB until 1820's..No military service indicated in Wright's book. On 6 May 1820 he declaredthat he had been an inhabitant of NB for nearly 36 years and neverreceived any land from the Crown. Asked for relief from 1845 Act. Scottish Church Records show a Holden Turner christened 1760 Lanarkshireson of Robert. They show also a Hugh b 1757 and Henry christened 1763 both sons ofRobert Turner. A Robert Turner christened in 1733, Lanarkshire, had a father Archibald.A Robert Turner m Agnes Russell in 1753 in Lanarkshire. Another Robert mJanet Boyd 1750, Lanarkshire. That his eldest son was named Robert and his second son George Hutchinsonfits with Scottish naming conventions, since his wife's maiden name wasHutchinson. These same conventions make it likely that Holden had anuncle John. These same naming conventions would call for fourth sonWilliam B., to be named Holden, however after his father. 65. Jennet HUTCHINSON was born about 1767 in Scotland. She died after1851 in Fredericton, York Co., NB. Came over from Loch Loman, Scotland in1776. She is the head of a household in the Census of 1851 in Frederictonwith two older daughters Charlotte and Amelia (McGraw). Scottish naming conventions would indicate that Jennet's father's namewas George Hutchinson, since she named her second son George Hutchinson,and that her mother's name was Amelia since her eldest daughter was giventhat name. However, these conventions would call for daughter MargaretAgnes to be named Jennet and would expect an aunt Belle Hutchinson toexist on her mother's side. Children were: 32 i. Robert TURNER. ii. Amelia TURNER was born about 1793. She died after 1851. Living withher mother Jannet and her sister Charlotte in 1851 in Fredericton. iii. Charlotte TURNER was born about 1801. She died after 1851. Livingwith her mother in 1851 and her sister Amelia McGraw in Fredericton.Evidently not married at this age (50). iv. George Hutchinson TURNER. The naming of this son follows theScottish convention of naming the second son after the mother's father.We know that her maiden name was Hutchinson, ergo her father was probablyGeorge. It also lends credence to George's grandfather being Robert. A Robert Turner christened in 1733, Lanarkshire, had a father Archibald.A Robert Turner m Agnes Russell in 1753 in Lanarkshire.
