  	"During the Revolutionary War, as the Redners adhered to the Tories and remained loyal to the Crown, their home was attacked. During the affray, Henry was shot, and although not killed, he was badly wounded. The mishap only tended to embitter the dissatisfaction that was felt by the loyalists, and added an animosity that readily caused Henry and his family to emigrate to Canada after peace was declared."

  Loyalist	Henry Redner of Ameliasburg was described as a "U.E." when his son, Peter Redner, petitioned for land on January 17, 1816.
  Military	"When the Redners arrived in 1791, Henry brought with him a wonderful document wherein Lt. Thomas Van Buskirk late of the King's Orange Rangers attested to the loyality of both Henry Redner and his son-in-law James Johnson. Both the King's Orange Rangers and the New Jersey Volunteers recruited from the same areas, and had many similar surnames in the Muster Rolls. Early documents tell us that Henry was a weaver by trade."
