Notes

Benjamin Turney had settled in Concord, Massachusetts, by 1639, and was made freeman in June, 1641. He moved (it can be supposed) in September, 1644, with Rev. Mr. Jones, the Wheelers, and others to Fairfield, Connecticut.

His estate was inventoried on June 6, 1648, and presented by Mary Turney on November 10, 1648. The ages of his children were given in his will as: Mary 17, Robert 15, Judith 13, Ann 11, Rebecca 8, Sarah 6, Ruth 4, and Benjamin 3. Receipts were given to Joseph Middlebrook in 1661 by Nathaniel Seeley in behalf of his wife and for use of sister Sarah; John Wheeler in behalf of his wife and for the us of sister Ruth and brother Benjamin Turney and sister Rebecca; and Stephen Sherwood who married the said Rebecca acknowledged receipt of her portion; also Thomas Sherwood receipted to Middlebrook for his wife's portion. John Wheeler by 1673 purchased from Stephen and Matthew Sherwood all their interest in right of their wives, the daughters of Benjamin Turney, deceased.

The International Genealogical Index has additional ancestral lines of Benjamin Turney.

He settled in Concord, Massachusetts by 1639, and was made freeman, June 1641. He removed, possibly in September 1644 with the Reverend Jones, the Wheelers, and others, to Fairfield. Here he died in 1648. It may be assumed be assumed that he or his wife was closely related to Ann wife of Thomas Wheeler Sr, for in her will of 1659, which was witnessed by Robert Turney, Mrs Wheeler gave her best hat to Rebecca Turney.
