Notes for William TURNER Sr.
• Some records lists his place of death as “London, England” or more specifically, “Cowfold, Horsham, West Sussex, England”

• He was a Dancing Master turned to Wine Merchant.
Notes for Anne (Spouse 1)
• Some records lists her year of birth as “abt 1748”

• Many records list Mary (Boutineau) Dumaresq as Anne’s mother, however that is very unlikey given Mary died in 1744 at the age of 55+ years old, which was almost two years before Anne was born.

• She is a descendant of the French Huguenots … The French Huguenots were French Protestants that were followers of John Calvin and they faced severe persecution from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
