Turner History
Turner's history began in 1765, when the Massachusetts General Court chartered and granted some 63 square miles of land in Maine to "the heirs and assigns of Captain John Sylvester and his company, for services rendered in the invasion of Canada under Sir William Phipps in 1690." As you will see, such grants of land to individuals by governments in gratitude for military service was not uncommon.

The grant was located in what is now Androscoggin County, Maine, some twelve miles north of the modern cities of Auburn and Lewiston. You can see a map of Turner here. In honor of Captain John Sylvester and his exploits the new town was called "Sylvester - Canada," but Sylvester and the other Proprietors - as they were called - had considerable difficulty in convincing settlers and their families to move into their grant.
