THE TURNERS
The eldest son of Humphrey Turner, John married, the granddaughter of Elder Brewster, on the twelfth day of November 1645. He succeeded to the tannery of his father with his brother Thomas. Like his father he held numerous town offices and was in the Narragansett campaign with his brother Joseph. His great affection was for his brother of the same name. These two were much attached to one another. They lived and worked in complete harmony. If a committee was to be chosen to carry forward some action for the town, the name of both appeared upon it; if an inquest was to be held to inquire the cause of death of a Scituate freeman, both would be named for it, if one. They served together upon juries in the Court at Plymouth and they made division of between their neighbors. In 1647 the Colony Court permitted the purchasers and freemen of Scituate to dispose of the common lands. Soon thereafter these gave it over to the municipality and in the town meetings which follo!
wed for a decade, John Turner, Senior and John Turner, Junior, were more frequently assigned to the performance of this duty than any other persons.

Still another member of the Turner family to be honored with place in the Massachusetts legislative assembly of the provincial period was Major Amos, who served as representative from Scituate in the years 1726, 1727, 1728 and 1732. He did not attract much attention. In those years there existed a Province fund of 50,000 pounds held by Trustees and created for the purpose of being loaned upon "good security" or first mortgages of real property to such as should be approved in the various towns, according to thier population. Major Turner had, some years before, being chosen availed himself of this fund to obtain a mortgage upon his farm. He was three years in arrears of the payment of interest. It may be that he had a purpose in mind when he was first elected; or it may have been a mere happening that his fellow member in 1726 remitted this interest "because he sustained gross loss in the burning of his barn." This was his only legislative accomplishment in the four !
years of his service. At this day it looks of doubtful propriety - the security having been diminished, th interest should therefore be rebated.
