THE TUENEK FAMILY 17 
Gumey & Co. when they opened a branch of their Norwich 
bank at Great Yarmouth. 
This James Turner married, as has been mentioned, EHza- 
beth Cotman, and gave his mother's family name to his son 
Dawson (&. 1775). 
Dawson Turner, as might be expected, went to Pembroke 
College, where his uncle was Master ; but in his second year his 
father died, and he had to leave the University and take his 
place at the bank. But business did not exclude letters. As 
banker and author he was a forerunner of Grote and Bagehot 
and Lubbock. His library, his collection of autographs, his 
small but choice gallery of pictures, were all notable. 
As early as 1797 he became a Fellow of the Linnean 
Society, and later, of the Society of Antiquaries and the Eoyal 
Society.^ 
Through the Turner connexion the Hookers gained several 
interesting cousinships — ^notably with the Palgrave family. 
Dawson Turner married Mary Palgrave (1774-1850), second 
daughter of William Palgrave, of Coltishall, and EKzabeth 
Thirkettle. Her younger sister, Anne Palgrave (1777-1872), 
married Edward Rigby, M.D., of Coltishall. Three of the 
Rigby daughters were married in Esthonia : Anne (1804-69) 
to George de Wahl, Maria Justina (1808-89) to Baron Robert 
de Rosen, Gertrude (1813-59) to Theophile de Rosen ; 
Gertrude's daughter, again, in 1860 married General Mander- 
stjerna, and the rest of her children married and remained in 
Russia. These second cousins of his welcomed Joseph Hooker 
on his visit to St. Petersburg in 1869. 
Another Rigby daughter, EHzabeth (1809-93), married 
Sir Charles Eastlake, P.R.A. She was a close and life- 
long friend of her cousin Joseph. Matilda, the eighth child 
and youngest of the Rigbys, married James Smith. Their 
1 Dawson Turner published important illustrated works on the British 
Fuci, the Mosses of Ireland, and especially the Natural History of Fitci, 
1808-19, and, with L. W. Dillwyn, The Botanist's Guide through England and 
Wales, 1805. Later he devoted himself especially to art and antiquities. 
He wrote largely on the archseology of Norfolk and Suffolk, inter alia ' Granger- 
ising ' Blomefield's History of Norfolk with 2000 drawings. His chief archaeo- 
logical work was his Account of a Tour in Normandy^ with fifty etchings by his 
wife and daughters and John Cotman,
