Notes


Humphrey Turner-798

Humphrey and Lydia had four children born in England. Thomas, John Sr. John Jr and Lydia. Humphrey and family came to Plymouth Mass around 1628. Settling in Scituate they had 5 more children Mary, Joseph, Nathaniel, Thomas and Daniel.

He was on the 1633 freeman list, and on 18 May 1633 he sold his right to a piece of land near the Plymouth fort to Josias Winslow for £8 (PCR 1:13). He probably moved to Scituate about this time, for he was one of nine men with a house there when Lothrop arrived in September 1634. Turner was an original member of the church Lothrop formed on 8 January 1634/35. Turner's daughter Mary was baptized at Lothrop's house on 25 January 1634/35, and his wife joined the church on 10 January 1635/36 (NEHGR 10:42, 9:279-81).

In 1638 he was among those fined for nonappearance at court, in his case paying three shillings for each of the three times he failed to appear (PCR 1:104). On 5 January 1635/36 he was elected constable of Scituate for the first of several times (PCR 1:36, passim). He did not go to Barnstable with the Lothrop group, and on 30 November 1640 Turner, Mr. Timothy Hatherly, and Edward Foster were appointed to apportion new land to such people of Scituate as they thought fit (PCR 1:168). On 2 June 1640 Turner was elected a deputy for Scituate (PCR 1:155), and he often served on juries. By trade he was a tanner, and on 18 January 1643/44 James Till of Scituate was found guilty by the court of having received from Mr. Hanbury two hides to be delivered to Humphrey Turner for tanning, but selling them to Joseph Tilden instead (PCR 2:68). He made his will 28 February 1669, sworn 5 June 1673, and named his oldest son John Turner; his son John Turner the younger; his sons Joseph, Daniel, Nathaniel, and Thomas Turner; his daughters Mary Parker and Lydia Doughty; his grandchildren Humphrey Turner and Mary Doughty; the sons of his oldest son, Jonathan, Joseph, and Ez.
