Turner family[]

He became a blacksmith in Port Royal, and later a pirate after helping Jack Sparrow retrieve the Black Pearl. He ended up marrying his longtime love, Elizabeth Swann, conceived a son, and became the new captain of the Flying Dutchman. Years later, he was freed from his duty by his son and returned to his family.
• William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner - The first known member of this family. To Jack Sparrow, and few others, he was a good man and good pirate. He and his wife conceived a child, William "Will" Turner, shortly before becoming part of Jack's crew aboard the Black Pearl. Eventually, he became cursed after the mutiny staged by Hector Barbossa and his crew. He betrayed Barbossa and later became part of the Flying Dutchman's crew, led by Davy Jones, and later by his son, Will.
• William Turner Jr.'s mother - Bootstrap Bill's wife. She raised Will by herself in England many years before she died.
• Henry Turner - Son of Will and Elizabeth Turner. He was raised by Elizabeth for nine years and three months until Will's return from his duty aboard the Flying Dutchman.
