Hester Ann Turner
- Born: 1828-1830, Somerset Co., MD 1 2 3 4 5
- Marriage (1): William J.* Jones on 25 Nov 1845 in Somerset Co., MD

Most likely that Hester is d/o William and Sarah (Disharoon) Turner based upon circumstantial evidence plus support of the 1840 Census, Middle District, Somerset Co., MD. There, William Turner seems to have six (6) daughters viz, 2 are under age 5 (born 1835/40), 2 are age 5 to under 10 (born 1830/35), 1 is age 10 to under 15 (born 1825/30) and 1 is age 15 to under 20 (born 1820/25). Three of them are accounted for in 1850 - Juliet (b1830), Charlotte (b1836), Sally (b1833) - Disharoon Descendants states there was a Mary with unk dates and there are two missing! If we believe the 1840 census, then the flowing hypothesis works out
William Turner's daughters in 1840:
One age 15/20 - Louisa J. Turner (b 1824/26) One age 10/15 - Hester Ann Turner (b 1828/30) Two age 05/10 - Juliet Turner (b 1830), Sally Turner (b 1833) Two age 00/05 - Charlotte Turner (b 1836), Mary Turner (unk but could be b 1835/40) - she married Samuel Williams on 8/22/1855.
The proximity of this Turner family was near the James/William Jones areas and was the only Turner family like that.

Jones to William Turner Jones, a lot of land in Wicomico Co., MD where William resides beginning at a white gum in a field the end of the 1st line of a lot I have this day deeded to my son Samuel J.
