  • Notes 

    • JOHN TURNER, (Young son John), second son of Humphrey and Lydia (Gamer) Turner, was born in England and given the same name as his elder brother, "at the instance of godfathers," tradition says. In Plymouth Colony records the elder is called John Senior and the younger John Junior. In Colonial days those terms were not restricted, as in ours, to the father-and-son relationship, but were used to distinguish between any two of the same name, usually uncle and nephew, or cousins, though lack of kinship made no difference in the custom. Occasionally one finds mother and daughter or mother-in-law and daughter-in-law so termed.

      John Junior must have been born not later than August 1627 since both Johns are on the list of those able to bear arms (ages 16-60) in Plymouth Colony in August 1643. The elder brother married Mary Brewster, granddaughter of William Brewster of the Mayflower, and the younger brother married in Scituate, April 15, 1649, Ann James (believed to be the daughter of Philip and Jane James of Hingham). They had a family of six sons and three daughters. John Junior was about sixty years old when he died. An inventory of his estate was taken February 24, 1686/7. A few months earlier, October 25, 1686, I, John Turner Jun Sonne of Humphrey Turner Late of Scituate Deceased made a will in which were named daughters Miriam Turner, Ann Green and Sarah Turner, sons Jacob, David and Philip; the latter two called not yet of age. Sons Japhet and Israel were appointed executors.

      The will was exhibited at the Inferiour Court of Common Pleas in Plymouth June 8, 1687, proved and allowed; but actual probate was not completed until the 23rd of December the same year, in Boston. Sir Edmund Andros was then in power and the only court of probate for the entire region under his jurisdiction was in the city where he made his headquarters.

      The death of Ann (James) Turner is not on record. She is not named in her husband's will nor is the youngest child, Ichabod, who had been born the 9th of April 1676 when King Philip's war was raging. The Indians were repulsed in their assault on Scituate the 21st of April and a few weeks later (May 20, 1676) their last desperate attack was made, an all-day fight, and a great part of the town left in flames.
