John Turner, Sr. (oldest child of Humphrey Turner and Lydia Gamer) was born 22 Oct 1620 and baptized 24 March 1621 in Terling, Essex County, England.[ John died after 20 May 1697 and before June 28, 1697 in Scituate, Massachusetts.
John came with his parents to the Plymouth Colony in 1628 and went on with them to Scituate in 1633. He had a brother also named John (possibly to please a Godfather) and the two were distinguished as Sr. and Jr. or "Old" and "Young" or "the Elder" and "the Younger".
John married Mary Brewster (daughter of Jonathan Brewster and Lucretia Oldham) on November 10, 1645 (November 12 in Plymouth Colony records). They had thirteen children.
This John settled 30 rods north-west of Union bridge, where he succeeded to the tannery of his father with his brother Thomas. Twenty acres were laid out for John, east of Barstow's hill and adjoining the third Herring brook; his son Isaac lived on this land.
Like his father John held numerous town offices and was in the Narragansett campaign with his brother Joseph (who was Scituate's ne'er-do-well; see Harvey Pratt's, "The Early Settlers of Scituate", p. 316).
