  Notes	Henry Talley served in the army during the Revolutionary War. He first served one month in Captain Elisha White's Company, under Colonel Stark. He then enlisted in the summer of 1780 as a private and served in the companies of Captains Crawford, Morgan, and Thomas Edwards, in the regiments of Colonels William Davis and Richard Campbell, First Virginia Detachment, and saw action at the Battle of Camden. He also served one month in the militia as a substitute for his uncle, Jeremiah Lindsey. He was described in his service record as a carpenter by trade, 5'6" tall, with black hair, hazel eyes, and a fair complexion. He served in General Nathaniel Greene's army. After the war, he lived near Richmond, Virginia, then moved to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and finally to Newton County, Georgia, where he became a large land-owner and planter. He participated in the Georgia Land Lotteries of 1827 and 1832. In 1827, he received land in Troup County, and in 1832, while living in Newton County, he received land in Cherokee County. He may be buried in the cemetery of Old Salem Baptist Church, Rockdale County, Georgia, where his wife Edith was a member. Henry may have been a grandson of John Talley (see ID# 17014). According to Dr. Jim A. Talley (drtalley@drtalley.com), Henry Talley was married first to Judith (Talley?), by whom he had a son, Henry, born in Loudoun County, Virginia.
