Mary was one of at least 5 children born to Revolutionary Solider James Turner and Sarah Ann (maiden name unknown) Turner, likely the oldest. Sister to Revolutionary Soldier James Turner and sister-in-law to Susannah's husband Revolutionary Soldier Martin Hammond. Wife of Revolutionary Soldier Thomas Trammell and patriot in her own right.
After the war these Turners, Trammells and Hammonds moved from South Carolina to Hancock county, Georgia and later to Alabama together.
Mary married Thomas 21 Dec 1775 in Union District, South Carolina. They had 9 children: Leah, John, Elinor Burke, Thomas, Farr Harris, Betsey Green, Nancy, Drakeford Lee and Milcah.
Favorite Mary tale: "the Tory band of pillagers had paid Mary a visit, took nearly everything she had, and as an officer walked out of her house Mary called to him, "Officer, here is something you forgot." He stepped back to the door and she struck him in the face with a dishrag."
