JOHN KEY 
Of Virginia

   John Key applied for revolutionary pension while living in Lunenberg County,
Virginia, in 1825. He served in Captain Boyer's company as a substitute for
Christopher Carlton in the First Virginia regiment commanded by Colonel
Campbell. He was wounded in the battle of Eutaw Springs. He stated that he had a
wife and children. After his death his widow applied for pension about 1832. The
widow, Fathey Lester Key, stated that she married John Key in Lunenberg County
in 1808 and that she had 15 children, the youngest child was 22 years of age in
1850.

Note:- It is probable that Fathey Lester Key was a second wife.
