Biography

Daughters of the American Revolution
Ralph Horn is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A208226.
Roll of Honor
Private Ralph Horn was a Prisoner of War during American Revolutionary War.
1776 Project
Pvt Ralph Horn served with 2nd Virginia Regiment (1776), Continental Army during the American Revolution.




Ralph R. Horn was born about 1756 in England.[1][2]

Ralph was married to Lucy Renolds. [1][2]

Together they had at least two children:


Ralph served in the 2nd Virginia Regiment under Captain Tailiaferro and Colonel Woodford during the American Revolution. Afterwards, he enlisted in Captain Alexander Dick's marines aboard the Mosquito. The ship was captured by the British in June 1777. Ralph was imprisoned first in nearby Barbadoes and secondly in England.[3][4][5][2]

"Ralph Horn, charged with the crime of treason, was kept six days in confinement. On June 17, 1778, the men were distributed, he further recalled, in a fleet of British ships bound for Jamaica and there removed to a Man-of-War, "where six of us drew 4 British mens rations". Two chances to escape presented themselves, but each attempt met with failure. According to Capt. Dick, Horn, after seven months in Barbadoes prison, was removed to the Antelope "on the Course of Brazil'. On the ship Prince George several captives were ill used because they refused to enlist, and Horn, failing in his effort to escape, was brought to the gang-way. Three years later this marine was transported in the Romulus to England, and there lay three years more before he was finally released, reaching New Castle on Sept. 19, 1783."[6]


In the 1820 census Ralph was in King William, Virginia, United States.[7]

Ralph died on September 21, 1829 in King William, Virginia, United States, aged 72.[2]

In 1832, Ralph's heirs were: Robert R. Horn, Mary R. Horn, John A. Stewart, Lucy M. Stewart, William B. Horn, Anso Corso, Philip Horn, Marth H. Horn, Agnes M. Horn, and Susan Horn.[3]
