He appears to have been a son of Charles Turner, cook of Pembroke College, Oxford, and to have been educated as a chorister at Christ Church. He was sworn a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal 11 Oct. 1669, as "a counter-tenor from Lincoln," and afterwards became a vicar- choral of St. Paul's, and a lay vicar of the Abbey. He had the degree of Doctor of Musie, at Cambridge, in 1696. They are said to have lived together nearly seventy years. His will, dated 4 Jan. 1727-8, was proved 14 Feb. 1739-40, by his dau. Anne Robinson (see her burial 8 Jan. 1740-1). He merely bequeathed a shilling each to his five children, William-Partheriche Turner, Edward Turner, Elizabeth Jenkins, Catharine Gardiner, and Anne Robinson, and the residue of his estate to his wife.
