He was the son of Lewis Turner and Ellen Roberts, daughter of Major John Roberts who was an officer in the American Revolution. He is the great grandson of Captain Hezekiah Turner who also served the cause. He came to Warrenton in 1856, a lad of sixteen, after the death of his father where he continued to live until the Civil War. During which time he worked under John S. Bryne Clerk of the Circuit Court. During the Civil War he was a member of the Warrenton Rifles and was elected Lieutenant. He then joined the Black Horse Cavalry. After the war he spent a short time in Culpeper and soon after returned to Warrenton and accepted a position he held until he was appointed in 1879 Clerk of the Circut Court of Fauquier County. He was a member of the Baptist Church and deacon in his church in Warrenton for more than thirty years. "John R. Turner is gone and his familiar form will never be seen again, but he will live in the memory and in the lives of all that knew him, and his name is a heritage richer far than hoardings of gold, or exalted place won at the cost of truth and honor." - Bar of Fauquier County
