John Turton (1735-1806) was the only son of Dr. John Turton M.D. by his wife Dorothy, only surviving child of Gregory Hickman. Having graduated from Oxford he spent a short time in Leyden and then settled in London where he soon built up a large practice. He was appointed Physician to the Queen's Household in 1771, Physician in Ordinary to the Queen in 1782 and in 1797 Physician in Ordinary to King George III of Great Britain and Ireland and the Prince of Wales.
