John (hus of Sarah Kellam) Turner

Abt 1635 - Aft 1673  (> 38 years)

• Name	John (hus of Sarah Kellam) Turner  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1635  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Anecdote	A yDNA test revealed that the Genetic Distance between Stephen Wayne Turner (b 1945), a proven descendant of Samuel Turner I (c.1672-1760) of Worcester Co, MD and Brendan Turner (b.c. 1985), a proven descendant of Edward Turner I (c.1670-1729) of Northampton Co, VA is 6 at 37 markers and 7 at 67 markers. This is consistent with them being descended from a shared ancestor who lived in the late 16th century or early 17th century before coming to the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Their yDNA is shown as "salmon." (yDNA analysis provided by Nigel Bond, a member of this "salmon" yDNA group.)
