This letter from Abram Penn to Captain Joseph Martin is dated at
"Smithfield," Montgomery Co. VA: "Dear Sir, I have proceeded
on my journey home. As for our discharge, it will not be till
November at least. The Col. won't agree that any more of my men
shall go home, but I am to get three or four whilst gone, to
relieve those few that necessity requires at home. Philip
Cavenaugh must be employed as a spy, and pray keep them all at
their constant duty, for the Indians have made four breaks on
Holston, and the people are all forting with all dexterity, so
that we may expect the next stroke. Be constant on your guart
and keep strict in those parts. Let the people know that it is
thought they are in danger, so they may be on their defence. I
think that Gatliff and Clay had better move their families back
again as they are in a back place, for I should be very sorry if
any mischief should be done in those parts. Pray don't le one
charge of powder be shot in vain, for I expect we shall be in
great want before any supply can be got. Col. Preston says he
will stop Alsups wages for you if it comes in his hands. I
expect Col. will send a supply of provisions to you soon. No
more, but I am your sincere friend and humble servant. Abram
Penn" To Captain Joseph Martin at Culbertson Bottom, October
7th, 1774:
"Smithfield" was the home of Colonel William Preston, in
Montgomery Co. VA. In Virginia Magazine of History and
Biography, we see- "The first court of Henry Co., April 20,
1788, was composed of Edmond Lyne, Abram Penn and Peter
Saunders, and George Waller Justices." March, 1799, Abram Penn
was appointed Excheator for Henry County. In August, Patrick
Henry, Abram Penn and John Dillard were recommended to the
Governor as Comissioners of Peace for the county. In 1779 he
was appointed "Burser" to receive fines, etc. On March 11, 1781,
Abram Penn organized and commanded a regiment " to the
Assistance of General Green," from the site of the present town
of Martinsville, and served until the surrender at Yorktown. The
original roster of his regiment (in his own Handwriting) ad his
sword, are in the possession of his great-grandson John T. Penn
of Martinsville, VA.
Abraham Penn returned to the Continental army 1779. After two
years of distinguished service, he was commissioned Colonel.
soon afterward he was granted a furlough and moved his family to
that part of Pittsylvania County later to the organized as Henry
County, settling on Beaver Creek, three miles north of present
Martinsville. after the war ended, Colonel Penn was granted a
large tract of land by the state of Virginia in Patrick County
in recognition of his valuable services in the Revolutionary
War. He moved to Patrick County and built a large home there
which was called Poplar Grove as he surrounded the house with
Bombardy Poplars and a few cedars.
When Henry County was established, Abraham Penn became active in
its affairs. He was one of the "Gentlemen Justices" presiding
over the first court of the county. He was a Delegate from Henry
County to the General assembly in 1777 and 1779. One Henry
County Record states that Patrick Henrys John Dillard, William
Letcher, Archelaus Hughes, and Abraham Penn were recommended to
serve as a Committee of Safety. This was between a gubernatorial
term for Patrick Henry and during a time when he resided at his
Leatherwood estate in Henry County.
As an officer in the county militias Col. Penn organized a
regiment in 1780-81 as the only body of Revolutionary troops
from Henry and adjoining counties to march from Beaver Creek to
Hillsborough, North Carolina, where they joined General
Nathaniel Greene to fight in the Battle of Guilford Court House
in March of 1781. An original document signed on 11 March 1781
by Abraham Penn, Colonel, Henry County is located in the
Virginia State Library Archives.
In May 1781, Governor Thomas Jefferson wrote to Penn directing
his regiment to join General Greene again in defense of the
Carolinas. They fought in the Battle of Eutaw Springs in
September 1781. Penn served through the surrender of Cornwallis
at Yorktown, 19 Cctober 1781. A sheathed sword and a mahogany
lowboy brought back from Yorktown are in the possession of his
descendants as is a mahogany sideboard. Col. Penn wrote a letter
on October 7, 1774, to Capt. Joseph Martin at Culbertson's
Bottom which is in possession of the descendants of Capt. (later
made General) Martin.
Patrick County was formed as a new county in 1791 from Henry
County. Abram Penn was commissioned by the Governor to
administer State and Federal oaths to the officers of Patrick
County at its first court, June 1791. One of these, Samuel
Staples (later militia colonel served as county clerk for 34
years. He married Colonel Penn's daughter Lucinda and they lived
in the "Stonewall House" at the county seats the present town of
Stuart, formerly known as Taylorsville. During the early years
of the county, Abram Penn and seven of his nine sons served the
county as "Gentlemen Justices."
Colonel Penn was said to be a man of resolute purpose magnetic,
with a vigorous intellect and a commanding presence.
Abram Penn was a man of prominence and influence in Henry
County. This patriot died 2 June 1801, in Patrick county and he
was buried in the family cemetery of Poplar Grove, in Patrick
County. In June 1932 his grave was marked during a memorial
service by DAR members of the Col. Abram Penn Chapter, and
descendants of Abram Penn. The gravestone was provided by the
United States Congress for the grave of this Revolutionary
patriot.
The Poplar Grove home was one of the oldest frame houses in
Patrick County before its demolition in 1977, leaving only the
later brick wing standing to overlook the North Mayo River and
the highway given Col. Penn 5 name by the Virginia General
assembly-
Colonel Penn left many descendants who followed his example of
devotion to public service. Among Abram Penn's descendants
internationally known in the field of letters are Phyllis Penn
Kohler (Mr.. Foy Kohler), U. S. Embassy Moscow translators
Journey for our Time and Robert Penn Warren, Yale University
professor of English literatures Pulitzer Prize Winner in poetry
and novel, All the King's Men.

"Source: "Lewises, Meriwethers and Their Kin," by Sarah
Anderson. Also, "The Genealogy of the Rush Family of Virginia
and The Terrell Genealogy," by Nellie F. Ayres.
Note: I have shown William's more likely father to be Richmond
Terrell who arrived and settled in new Kent Co., Va in 1656.
From Michael Lewis "Mike" Monroe of Roanoke, Virginia
[[email protected]]: "The Terrell Family history, as far as I'm
concerned is a complete mudtrap. Apparently only two children of
William and Susannah Terrell can be proven -- Henry and David --
and anything else is unsubstantiated guesswork.
The Terrell Family is not solid. I've seen at least three
different theories about William and Susannah Terrell ranging
from the idea that William was born in the 1620's all the way up
to the late 1660's --- which looks a lot like a missing
generation. Yes, I've seen the idea that Richmond Terrell was
William's father... I've also seen something that suggests that
William lived to be about 100 years old... and another theory
that has William living to about 115. About the only solid piece
to stand on is the power of attorney in the 1720's, and a land
deed in the 1720's -- and those only specifically named sons
Henry and David Terrell. I think there was a witness named James
Terrell, but I don't think his relationship was listed --- son,
brother, uncle, whatever.""
