Research Notes

  • All three Ancestry links used in citations for BDM led to this: "We’re sorry, this page is no longer available." Links were not removed, but are visible in Notes on edit page. The source for her father's name and her marriage were replaced, thanks to a source in a 2018 comment by former member T (King) K. More or better sources are welcome. ~ Ward-9858 17:19, 2 February 2023 (UTC).
  • "Alternate DOD 1752 - further investigation required," added by Jim Vondrak at 16:52, 28 June 2016, (No source for 1752)
  • Added by Victor Morales sourced Geni: Died 14 MAY 1795. Salisbury, Rowan, North Carolina, United States. This is her husband's DOD. ~ Ward-9858 18:17, 2 February 2023 (UTC).
  • Note: Adams-16917 14:00, 28 June 2016 (EDT) based on marriage dates, marriage to Atwood is another person.
  • Adams-16917 13:08, 28 June 2016 (EDT) in my experience SAR applications cannot be depended on for accuracy.

In my private database, I have her listed as Mary Turner, and the dates posted here are correct. I notice that there is also a Mary Harris, 1592-1652, dau. of Sir William Harris and Lady Alice Smythe. Perhaps someone had a mix-up in transcribing dates . I always try to use maiden names for the wife and only put the husband's surname in brackets if I don't have a last name prior to marriage to prevent this sort of thing.

this note was added when the merge was completed: "Alternate DOD 1752 - further investigation required." Where did 1752 come from? 1766 has been with Mary Turner since she was created.
