Turnbull was educated and studied law in Scotland, later setting up practice in Arichat, Nova Scotia.[2] In 1826, he was named the excise collector for the port and district of Arichat, serving until his death. He also served as registrar of probate for Richmond County from 1842 until his death at Port Hood four years later.[1]
