In his will, which is too long to quote here, Turner bequeathed to his wife[65] "his best pece or syluer vessell and halfe dozen of syluer spones," and to his nephew "my lyttell furred gowne." Peter, the son to whom he left "all my writen bookes and if he be a preacher all my diuinitie bookes, & yf he practise Phisicke all my physicke bookes," had some knowledge of plants, for in a copy of Turner's Herbal in the Linnean Society's Library there is a long list of errata for which Peter Turner apologised in an Address to the Reader. There is something very naïve and charming about Peter's admiration for his father's "fame and estimation." He tells us that he has diligently compared the printed book with his father's "owne hande copie," and refrains from having the whole book printed again because "I should have done against Charitie to have caused the Printer by that meanes to lose all his labor and cost which he hath bestowed in printing hereof. Wherefore, gentle Reader, beare a little with the Printer that never was much accustomed to the printing of Englishe and afore thou reade over this booke correct it as I haue appointed and then the profit thereof will abundantly recompense thy paynes. In the meane time vse this Herbale in stede of a better and give all laude and prayse unto the Lorde."
