    Notes:

    Holden Turner was born in Glasgow,Scotland, joined the British Army at age 18, went to New York with the 22nd Regiment of Foot during the American Revolution, moved to Nova Scotia with the United Empire Loyalists in 1783.
    He relocated to the Fredericton area in 1784. Married Jennet Hutchinson and raised 10 children. Settled at Lincoln, Sunbury Co., NB. Purchased land south of Fredericton on the St. John River in 1801, but he did not move to Federicton, York Co., NB until 1820. On 6 May 1820 he declared that he had been an inhabitant of NB for nearly 36 years and never received any land from the Crown.
    His occupation was cordwainer, a maker of high quality leather shoes and boots.
    Holden Turner's death was reported in The Head Quarters January 8, 1845 edition: "On Friday morning last, Mr Holden Turner, in the 85th year of his age."

    Holden married Jennet Hutchinson 1785, Maugerville, New Brunswick.

    Notes:

    Jennet was a native of Ayrshire. Marjorie Waters identified Jennet's father as Robert. I have conducted extensive research in Canada and Scotland as to her origins without definitive results, but have concluded that (i) her father was Robert, who served with the 82nd regiment in the American Revolution and later settled in the Fredericton area, and (ii) she was born 1766-1770 in Ayrshire.
    She died in Saint John on March 3, 1856 and is buried in the Old Burial Ground in Fredericton.
