Husband of Mary Lingo
One of the oldest settlers in the township was Judge Joseph Turner. He was born in North Carolina, in 1802, moved with his parents to Tennessee in 1815, was married in 1822, and moved to Missouri and entered the land on which he now resides, near Eldad church, in 1830. He was appointed justice of the peace before the township was organized, and had jurisdiction to the Iowa line. He held the office of justice of the peace until 1850. In 1861 he was appointed county court justice, was president of that body, and held the position nearly six years. Judge Turner lived in Chariton township 54 years at his present residence, where he raised a family of eight children, three boys and five girls, all now living, and most of them around him, except one son who died out West about 1877.
