    Henry KEY

    Henry Key made his first land patent in 1756, and by 1771 he had patented over 2,700 acres of
    land in what is now Nelson county, Virginia, to which he later added by numerous purchases.
    When Amherst county was formed from Albemarle county in 1761, court was held for a time at
    Henry's home.
    From Amherst county records of 1769 and 1770, it appears that he held the rank of Captain in the
    Militia.
    In 1773, Henry conveyed most of his Amherst property to his attorneys, one of whom was Martin
    Key, security for a debt. In 1777, the attorneys began selling the property, and by 1782, Henry
    had moved to Ninety Six District, South Carolina.
