Note 1. Conducted a potato business with brother Henry Ellis Turner until there was a falling out between the brothers which terminated the partnership.

Note 2. William H. served as Victor township supervisor.

Note 3. The turner homestead, which William lived in, in now (1999) little more than a barely discernable ruin in the woods that have overgrown the site. It was once the showplace of Victor, and rumored to have been a stop on the underground railroad. William H cut a fine figure in a buggy drawn by a matched pair of Paints. Richard Ellis Turner remembers his father, Henry Roy Turner, having possession of two preserved hides of the famed Paints (stored in his attic) in Buffalo, N.Y.
