Joseph Turner (1793/1794 – February 1, 1874) was an American farmer, Democratic politician, and Wisconsin pioneer.
Theirs was one of the three settlers' houses on the trail between their cabin and Aztalan on the Rock River, some thirty miles away.
Their daughter Amanda Anna Louisa Turner married Harrison Reed, then editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, who would (after her 1862 death) later become Governor of Florida.
In 1855, Joseph and Mary Turner moved to Winnebago County, Wisconsin, along with Amanda and her husband, where they were among the founders of the city of Menasha.
There are unsourced claims on some websites that Joseph was the brother of Peter H. Turner, who also came to Wisconsin in 1840.
