Thayer's Note:

a The Register does not give the date of Mr. Turner's death, although he is marked as deceased in Vol. IX of the Supplement. I supply it from the Find-a‑Grave site linked under the burial information: while the identity of the two men is surmise on my part, it's made very plausible by the unusual full name and the location of the grave in Portland.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
