Biography

Edward Turner, Jr. was the son of Edward Turner, Sr., and Mary Sanford. He was baptized on 4 Sep 1664 at Milford. [Starr, Frank A. & John V. L. Pruyn Jr., "Turner Family in America - Edward Turner and His Descendants," in New York Genealogicaland Record, v. 13 (1882), pp.125.]

He married Sarah (Hall) Blake, the widow of John Blake,([Connecticut: Vital Records (The Barbour Collection), 1630-1870, Middletown, p. 461) (accessed 24 Sep 2017), probably in early 1692.

His first daughter, named Abigail, was then baptized at the Middletown church on 14 Oct 1692. ([Connecticut, Church Record Abstracts, 1630-1920, Volume 070 Part 2 Middletown) (accessed 15 Feb 2017).

The Abigail baptized in 1692 apparently died before October of 1694, since Thomas and Sarah registered the birth of a second daughter named Abigail on 11 Oct 1694, in Middletown. ([Connecticut: Vital Records (The Barbour Collection), 1630-1870, Middletown, p. 461) (accessed 24 Sep 2017).

On 29 Aug 1697, his son, Stephen, was also baptized at the church in Middletown. ([%E2%80%9CConnecticut, Church Record Abstracts, 1630-1920, Vol. 070, Pt. 2, Middletown, p. 584) (accessed 15 Feb 2017).

After his death, his widow, Sarah, was admitted to communion on 31 Jul1698, at the same church in Middletown.([Connecticut, Church Record Abstracts, 1630-1920, Vol. 070, Pt. 2, Middletown, p. 584) (accessed 15 Feb 2017).
