James Turner arrived in Washtenaw County as a teenager with his family; Marian Munroe came at 18 with her family, settling in Clinton County and later finding work as a teacher in Mason. James and Marian married in 1843.
Marian 24y married James 23y on October 31, 1843 in Eagle, Clinton, Michigan.
Although James Turner was a businessman in Mason, they made plans to move to a piece of property in the unsettled township to the north — the spot on the Grand River where Turner-Dodge House stands today.
