According to family tradition, Kerenhappuch Norman Turner had a son who was badly wounded at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. She rode by horseback from Maryland to Guilford Courthouse, where she found her son and nursed him back to health. Her statue, shown here, stands near the visitor center at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.
