    Notes:

    William's death record identifies his parents as John & Sarah Turner.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Wm B. & Rhoda Turner, ages 36 & 39, are living at Becket, Berkshire Co., MA. They have nine children. Also in the household are two of Rhoda's uncles, Joel & Amasa Tuttle, both born CT; also a laborer named Thomas Anthony, born Canada; and Lucy Gilbert 52 (?) MA.

    In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is still at Becket. They have had three more children in the last decade. They are living near Rhoda's mother Sarah Remington, two brothers Alonzo & John, and John's wife Jane.

    In 1870 the family is still at Becket. William is blind.

    In 1880, William & Rhoda are still at Becket, MA. Two of their adult children and one grandson are also in the household.

    William married Rhoda Coe Remington 31 Mar 1835, Becket, MA. Rhoda (daughter of John Remington and Sarah "Sally" Tuttle) was born 14 May 1810, Tolland, MA; died 28 Sep 1883, Becket, Berkshire Co., MA. [Group Sheet]

  1. 8.  John D. Turner was born Abt 7 Nov 1791, Sand Lake, Rensselaer Co., NY (son of David Turner and Susan Ann Simpson); died 19 Nov 1871, Granville, Hampden Co., MA.

    Notes:

    I have made an assumption that these are the parents of William B. Turner, because they were all born in NY, and all are living at Becket, MA, in the censuses.

    In the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses, John & Sarah Turner are living at Becket, Berkshire Co., MA.

    In 1870, John is living at Granville, Hampden Co., MA, with Samuel & Sarah Brooker and family. Sarah Brooker is John's daughter. I assume his wife Sarah must have died.

    John's death record at Granville identifies his parents as David & Susan Turner. This may or may not be accurate, depending on the knowledge of the informant at the time of his death. The 1800 Federal Census lists a David Turner at Schodack, Rensselaer Co., NY; data shows two white males under age 10, among other categories. There are several other Turner families listed for that area of New York State.

    John married Sarah "Sally" Burwell Abt 1811, NY. Sarah (daughter of William Burwell and Elizabeth Salsbury) was born 19 Apr 1788, Scotland or NY; died 1866. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Sarah "Sally" Burwell was born 19 Apr 1788, Scotland or NY (daughter of William Burwell and Elizabeth Salsbury); died 1866.

    Notes:

    A family note says she was born in Scotland, but the census records show her birthplace as New York State. Perhaps her parents came from Scotland.

    Notes:

    I have estimated the year and place of marriage.

    Children:
    1. 4. William Burwell Turner was born Between 1812 and 1814, Esopus, Ulster Co., NY; died 20 Oct 1890, Becket, Berkshire Co., MA.
    2. Sarah Turner was born Abt 1824, MA.

  3. 10.  John Remington was born 25 Feb 1787, RI (son of Holden Remington and Dorcas Stedman); died Bef 1 Jun 1870; was buried , Becket, MA.

    Notes:

    In the 1810 and 1820 Federal Censuses, John & family are in Tolland, Hampshire County, MA, along with Josiah, Charles, Anthony, & Holden Remington.
    In the 1830 Federal Census they are in Otis, Berkshire County, MA.
    In the 1840 and 1850 Federal Censuses, they are in Becket, Berkshire County, MA.
    In the 1855 MA Census, the family is still at Becket: John Remington 69 RI, farmer; Sarah 70 CT; Amasa A. 34 MA; John O. 27 MA; and June A. 19 NY.

    John married Sarah "Sally" Tuttle 20 Jan 1809, Granville, Hampden County, MA. Sarah (daughter of Stephen Tuttle and Rhoda Coe) was born 21 Oct 1785, East Haven, New Haven Co., CT; died Aft 1 Jun 1870, MA. [Group Sheet]


  4. 11.  Sarah "Sally" Tuttle was born 21 Oct 1785, East Haven, New Haven Co., CT (daughter of Stephen Tuttle and Rhoda Coe); died Aft 1 Jun 1870, MA.

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Sarah Remington is age 84 and living at Becket, MA, with her sons Alonzo & John.

    Sarah's ancestry was found on Rootsweb's Worldconnect. I have made an assumption that it is correct, based on the strong evidence of the names of John & Sally's children, which reflect this ancestry. Also, the location agrees with her birthplace -- New Haven County, CT.
