Both manuscripts found at the GCHS library state that Robert Turner was probably the son of a John Turner (and Hannah Hall) who owned a plantation called "Two Brothers" near the head of Salem Creek. Although no wife was named in Robert Turner's will, we know that the mother of this family was Abigail from the baptism record of Meriall at Pennsneck and Racoon Church. It says "Robert and Abigail Turner's Maryall" was born March 22, 1752. Burne is sometimes spelled Bourne.
