As reported by the Scituate Archivist:
Humphrey and Lydia Turner are buried in the Men of Kent Cemetery. Sometime in the 1800s, the Turner Family purchased a memorial stone for Humphrey and his family. The delivery company unloaded it at the wrong cemetery, i.e. the First Parish of Norwell, and installed it there.
When the family learned where it had been installed, they refused to pay for it until it was installed at the correct cemetery. It was never moved and remains there today, even though Humphrey and Lydia are buried elsewhere.
The following added by Contributor #48265806 on 2/12/2015:
The maiden name of Humphrey's wife, Lydia, has not been proven. Humphrey Turner's Will names the following children:
John 'The Elder' TURNER 1620 – 1697
John 'The Younger' TURNER 1627 – 1687
Thomas TURNER 1627 – 1688
Lydia TURNER 1629 –
Mary TURNER 1634 – 1704
Joseph TURNER 1636 – 1681
Nathaniel TURNER 1638 – 1715
Daniel TURNER 1641 – 1699
While it seems perplexing that Humphrey had two sons with the name, John, who lived, simultaneously to adulthood, it was apparently decreed by their godparents.
