• Background Information. 614
Lydia was baptized at Terling, Else, England, 18 May 1602 and died at Scituate, Plymouth Colony, after 23 Jul 1669 and before 28 Feb 1669/70. She married, 24 Oct 1618, Sandon, Else, England, Humphrey Turner.
Lydia was an infant when her mother dies, and only about eleven years of age when her father died. Richard Gaymer, her father, named her in his will and in this will gave her part of a tenement called the Angell which is located in Ockendon Fee, one of the five manors of Terling.
Lydia Gaymer, likely at the age of seventeen, and Humphrey Turner were married in the parish of Sandon, but there are no records indicating they ever lived there. The author of the article, Vernon Dow Turner, quotes the Else Village Book as an explanation of why the two may have married in Sandon. According to the book, runaway brides in the 17th century in England would marry in Sandon because the Reverend Dillingham there would perform quick weddings there. It further says that 511 couples had been married this way, and "the parson undoubtedly grew fat on the wedding fees."
Lydia in all likelihood, emigrated to Plymouth colony along with her husband and children in 1623. She may also be the "Goody Turner" who joined the Scituate church, 10 Jan 1635/36.
