Kerrenhappuch Turner Monument, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park

Kerrenhappuch Norman Turner was the wife of James Turner, one of the early settlers of Maryland. Oral tradition indicates that upon news of her son’s grave injury at the Guilford Courthouse Battle Ground, Kerrenhappuch rode on horseback to her wounded son’s aid. She is said to have nursed him to health at Guilford Courthouse. This statue depicts her holding a cup of water and a towel as she nurses her son back to health.
