* She is a descendant by her name of Thomas Turner Sr., who immigrated a few years after the Mayflower pilgrims. Her ancestors, traceable up to 7 generations back in America, mostly lived in Scituate, Massachusetts, and some later moved to Hanover. They include some (including Humphrey Turner, apparently from a different Turner family than Thomas, and John Williams) who were in the colony by 1630.
Her name is from Waldoboro, Maine town records, under the marriage date, as "Polly Turner." [2]
