  1. 8.  Sampson Turner was born in 1759 in Maryland, USA (son of Daniel Turner); died before 1805 in Hancock County, Georgia.

    Notes:

    - Sampson was a matross [the soldier who loads the cannon before it's fired] in the Gayle's Artillery of Maryland. He received 500 acres of land in Georgia for service in the American Revolution. OUR JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE, THE HISTORY OF THE TURNERS by Ellen Turner Edge Pitts says Sampson, Mary, and a number of cousins came to Georgia from Maryland in 1787:

    "They came by horseback and oxcart with a few belongings and some livestock. From Augusta, they entered the land of the Creek Indian Nation and traveled the lower Creek Indian trading path road in groups for protection. Records show that they were among the first white people to cross west over the Ocmulgee River into Indian territory. They stopped in Washington County and settled on the north side about 200 yards from the Indian trail. This area is now part of Hancock County, Georgia and is known as Turner's Hill. It is located very near the Washington-Hancock County line, just northeast of Linton, Georgia."

    Furthermore, this area seems to be the area near Buffalo Creek, where the old Turner homeplace stood. That area became part of Hancock County in 1793. [Steve Turner, Fellow Researcher]

    Sampson married Mary Turner. Mary (daughter of Zadoc Turner and Sabra Hicks) was born on 10 Mar 1763 in Maryland, USA; died on 17 Dec 1850 in Hancock County, Georgia. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Mary Turner was born on 10 Mar 1763 in Maryland, USA (daughter of Zadoc Turner and Sabra Hicks); died on 17 Dec 1850 in Hancock County, Georgia.

    Notes:

    - An 1813 newspaper article says Mary is about to lose her land, 250 acres, on the "waters of Buffalo," because of nonpayment of taxes, $3. Apparently she didn't lose this land, as she was living on it in 1825, after the death of her husband, Jacob. [Steve Turner, Fellow Researcher]

    Children:
    1. 4. Wilson Turner was born between 1799 and 1800 in Hancock County, Georgia.
