Individual:
What follows was sent to me by Toby Turner:In 1779 he furnished a substitute to the Militia. In that sameyear, he probably served as vestryman of Amherst church. In1780, he served as a Lieutenant in the Militia. On 29 Sept.1781, he furnished 305 lbs. of beef [Source: Pub. ServiceClaims. p. 12]. He was probably the Henry who took an oath asEnsign on 2 Dec. 1782. Family tradition tells that he was knownand called "Major Turner."In Impressed Property Claims For Persons In Amherst CountyDuring The Revolution: Also Some Interesting Excerpts From AnEarly Order Book of Amherst County, I found that, in addition tothe 305 lbs of beef valued at 2-20-20, he also provided 54 1/2lbs of bacon 23 Feb. 1781 Militia (2-0-9); 9 bu of corn, 60sheaves of oats and 200 lbs of fodder 28 Feb., 1781 Augustmilitia (1-3-6) [page 490 in 'The Lost Order Book']. In theOrder Book of 1784-1787 in the July court 1785, he provided 85lbs of bacon (3-3-9) Amherst militia when guarding prisonersmarching through this County; proved in court.Listed beside John on the 1783 tax list, he had 6 in his familyand 7 slaves.In Amherst County Virginia In The Revolution 1773-1782 IncludingExtracts from the "Lost Order Book" by Leonora HigginbothamSweeny on page 39, in the Court held December 2, 1782, HenryTurner qualified as Ensign on page 71.On page 47 [ibid.] a Henry Turner is named as a revolutionarysoldier in the chapter entitled, "Revolutionary Soldiers fromAmherst County, Comprising then the Territory of the PresentCounty of Nelson."On page 173 [ibid.], there is the following entry: "Turner,Henry, - Pike Co., Mo., June 13, 1849, Rachel Turner, aged 89,widow of Henry Turner who furnished a substitute 1779 in AmherstCo., Va., Militia, and in 1780 served as Lt., applied.
