Somerset / Re: Rev. George Turner SEYMOUR (Tyntesfield)

Hi,
I am descended from Harriett Cam, who was the sister of Louisa Cam who married George Penrose Seymour. From my research I can tell you that William Turner of Belmont was the first cousin once removed of Harriett and Louisa Cam. Harriett and Louisa's mother was Elizabeth Cam, nee Plaister, who was the first cousin of William Turner of Belmont, (and also his brother John, and sister Hester).
I have corresponded previously to "Seymour14" in a few emails, and I think I mentioned that the common ancestors of the Cam, Plaister and Turner families was John Cobb and his wife Hester.
There is the possibility that George P. Seymour was also blood related to William Turner (not just related through his wife) but I have found no evidence of that, despite what is written in various books about William Turner being his uncle. However, this possibility shouldn't be discounted. Cousins seemed to marry cousins in those days.
