INTEREST IN TERRY FAMILY HISTORIAN
FROM CONTEMPORARY ENGLISHMAN
Just though I would share a letter with all that
excites me greatly. -- The Editor.

7th November 1987
Dear Sir/Madam,
At a recent meeting of the Wiltshire Family History
Society, of which I am a member, I came across a back issue*
of the Journal of the Florida Genealogical Society which
contained a reference to a publication called 'THE TERRY
FAMILY HISTORIAN'.
Being a TERRY I am very interested to know if it still
exists and if back numbers are available.
In fact I would be pleased know anything about the
group or society that publishes it.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Terry

TERRY RELATIONS OF GRANVILLE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA:
Some Conclusions
by Jay Terry
224 Woodland Dr.
Orem UT 84058
*** DISCLAIMER ***
Mike, as I undertake to start the project we discussed,
I feel a need to make some preliminary comments for
publication with this submission.
First, as one researches in Granville County, North
Carolina, it becomes apparent that the records are not
complete and much of what is there has been recopied. Thus
114
the clarification of errors and deletions will probably
remain lost to the researcher as the originals are not
extant.
Second, as one who has read and used various private
publications referencing the Granville County records, I
have experienced many mistakes in such publications and long
ago decided to review quotes I was interested in. This has
paid off many times in corrected quotes and the discovery of
missing and/or additional names and information. Especially
one needs to read the original when an author abridges the
information. Many times what was important to me was ignored
by the one doing the compiling.
Third, I have been reluctant to publish my research on
Granville County because of the "gospel truth" people tend
to place on publications. "If one sees it in print, then it
has to be true," is an attitude that prevails with too many
searchers. Far too many lineages are constructed of wrong
information extracted from second-hand source records. My
advise is, seek to review the original source yourself if
the source does not provide a complete reproduction of the
quoted document.
Thus Mike, I begin this project with reservations. For
fear the reader will take what follows as "gospel" --
search and view the records for yourself is my admonition.
True, I have spent years going over and over many of these
same documents hoping to tie things together in a more
positive way. However, I have finally come to the conclusion
that positive ties are not possible at this time. The only
usable conclusion now will be based on the mutual agreement
of all those who have researched, studied, and compared
Granville County records.
To date I know only a few individuals who have been
able to seriously research Granville County records. Of
those, none have strongly disagreed with what I have
concluded and those who differ with minor points have not
changed the major ideas.
-------
The problem in Granville is, too many sons -- James`,
Johns, Williams, Stephens, and not enough proof to establish
who the father/s are. Records exist that clearly reveal
father and son relationships. However, because there are so
many children with the above given names, and with little
recorded to define exact family relationships, this has
caused much guess work in the past and has generated some
differing family definitions by researchers.
Granville County was established in 1749 from Edgecombe
County and the earliest document listing persons is a 1755
115
tax list. No Terrys are included on that list. There are
early deeds that refer to Terrys in the 1760s.
The next tax list to survive is the 1767. This list
reveals the presence of (assuming they lived there), James
Terry and son William, Joseph Mintor (Mintors married
Terrys), and Rowland Terry as searcher. A deed in book N,
page 63, dated 3 May 1791 refers to the fact that a James
Terry lived on land in Granville as early as 1766. "...land
to James Terry and Nicholas Burch...where on they (Terry and
Burch) have lived more than twenty-five years." This deed
was written in 1791 and if one subtracts the 25 years from
that date, the result is 1766.
This is important because in 1832 James Terry (born
1758) of Tar River District submits his Revolutionary War
Pension Application and states his father (not named) came
to Granville County in 1765 from King William County,
Virginia. Thus one can conclude that the James of Tar River
was in Granville in 1765 and his father settled (bought)
land with Nicholas Burch in 1766.
The tax lists for Granville are fairly complete from
around 1780 on. Years are missing here and there and names
are not consistently enumerated every year. Yet, there is
enough consistency to tell what families were in the area on
an ongoing basis and some speculation is possible with
respect to older sons. (Note: It is necessary that one
understands the taxing procedure in North Carolina at this
time and is aware of the age changes occurring every so
often--see NORTH CAROLINA RESEARCH GENEALOGY AND LOCAL
HISTORY by Leary and Stirewalt, 1980.) If one does not
understand such, the use of tax records will just "muddy the
water" more.
There is sufficient evidence from the tax lists to
define the families that stayed in the county when another
source is confusing. For example, in 1800 the U.S. census
reveals a duplication of the James Terry and Gideon Gooch
families. There is a James Terry family, a Mary Gooch and a
Gideon Gooch family in both the Island Creek and Abram
Plains districts. Yet in checking the tax list for 1800 one
clearly sees there was only one James Terry, one Mary Gooch
and one Gideon Gooch families. The problem? Abram Plains
district had a boundary change and obviously different
enumerators at different times, took the count for these
families. There is a slight variation in the head counts
which causes one to believe the visits were probably months
apart. The writer has experienced this problem of
enumerators straying out of their district boundaries many
times in later U.S. census filings and double counts of
households is not uncommon.
It has been the experience of this writer that when a
116
deed, census, etc., does not make sense, a check of the tax
lists, if available, will provide a clearer picture. It
seems that much more attention was provided tax collecting
and the need to keep track of all tax collecting potentials
-- not much different from today.
The August 9, 1786 State Census for Granville lists
the following Terrys: Roland, James Sr., James Jr. and two
Stephens. There is a listing for a John Tery. This John
married a Mary Gomen (Gomer) in 1784. The bondsmen were
William Gomen and John Gomen. In 1786 John and Mary sell
land that belonged to John's father William. If one reads
this deed carefully, it will be noted that the name is
Ferry. Likewise, when the father, William purchased the land
in July of 1761 it is clearly Ferry in the deed and in the
index. Even later in Caswell County, North Carolina, John
and Mary are clearly recorded as Ferry and the above two
bondsmen, William Gomer and John Gomer too are located in
those records. It is true that there are persons who claim
this name was in error from Virginia to North Carolina, yet
the interaction that was usual with families was not
evidenced with this John Ferry (Tery). The writer became
suspicious of this 1786 census entry when the name was
spelled Tery, showing a distinct difference from the other
Terrys. It is believed by him that the spelling was Fery and
was transcribed incorrectly by those compiling the forms for
printing. Many later publications have miss-quoted this name
due to the lack of reading the original records.
Back to others of the 1786 census: We know that James
Terry and Roland (Rowland) Terry received land from their
father Stephen Terry of St. Martins Parish, Hanover County,
Virginia. This is clearly recorded in Deed Bk F, pages 222-
223, in Granville County.
A Granville deed in 1769 (Deed Bk K, page 112) shows
that the son James sold the land he bought from his father
for $1, and it appears he never lived in Granville, but
stayed on his land in Louisa County, Virginia. This fact is
accepted by all researchers this writer has worked with who
descend from this James Terry of Louisa County, Virginia.
Therefore, the James Terry who bought land in Granville
County in 1766 (see above) is not a brother to Rowland. Deed
records also reveal that Rowland did come to Granville and
settled the land his father sold him and James. Shortly
Rowland sold his acreage to the same person his brother
James of Virginia had sold his parcel to and bought other
land in the area. The point is this, the writer sees, in
1786, James Terry Sr., from King William County, Virginia,
James Terry Jr. who had married Sarah Thorp in 1780 and
moved to the Tar River area with the Thorps (this is the
James Terry who submitted the Rev. War Pension request
above), thus making James Sr. and James Jr. father and son,
and Rowland Terry, probably some relation, but not a son to
117
James Sr. The will of James Sr, probated in 1799 bears this
out. Later I will discuss that will and the two Stephens
listed in the state 1786 and U.S. 1790 censuses.
A look at the Granville marriage bonds shows: James
married Sarah Thorp, 05 April 1780; Stephen married Anny
Clement 04 Feb 1783 and; Stephen married Elizabeth Barnett
07 Mar 1785. Note that all the marriages are before the 1786
State Census. In the 1790 tax list (the 1790 census is
lost), these individuals remain the same with James Sr. and
Rowland and one Stephen in Island Creek District, James Jr.
in Tar River District and one Stephen in Knap of Leeds
(Reeds) District among the Clements. The writer feels this
Stephen of the Knap of Reeds District is the one that
married Ann Clement. Stephen Terry and Obediah Clement
apparently were very close, at least the two families were.
Obediah Clement appears to have married Sarah Terry, sister
to Stephen and both families moved in late 1790s to
Edgefield County, South Carolina.
James Terry Sr., (it is believed by many that this
James married an Elizabeth Gooch; see the will of John
Gooch, Granville County, Nov. Court, 1793), left a will
written 1797 and proved in the Feb. Court, 1799. He lists
his children (no wife mentioned, probably deceased), as
follows: William (some researchers believe this is the
"son" William listed on the 1767 tax list (see above) who
appears to have married Sarah Minter; Stephen (who the
writer believes married Ann Clement); James (Jr.) who
married Sarah Thorp; John who appears to have married Anna
Maria Minter; Sarah Clement (mentioned above); Mary Strom
who married 1st, John Mintor and 2nd, William Strom;
Elizabeth Childs (who married Nathan Childs and died before
1799) and; Joseph Gooch Minter, a grandson, son of Mary
Strom.
There has much discussion and lack of agreement
regarding this family and where they all ended up. But for
those who have spent time in the Edgefield County, South
Carolina records, it strongly appears that William, Stephen,
John, Sarah (Clement) and Mary (Strom) went to that area as
deed records, wills, probates, tax records, etc., have many
references to all these respective given names and surnames.
In addition, Clement researchers have never denied the fact
that the Terrys and Clements in this South Carolina county
are from Granville county.
The point here is that one can account for all of James
Sr.'s family. As his son James stayed in Tar River area and
died there in 1849, the rest of the children listed in the
will appear to be relocated in the Edgefield County, South
Carolina area.
This brings us to the question of the 1786 State Census
118
again. If all of James Sr.'s children were married by the
census date, then who are those enumerated in the household?
This question has plagued the writer for years. It has been
the question that has caused him to hesitate placing his
James Terry with a father. However, it has become necessary
to assume that the head count in James Senior's family must
include a married child and family -- anyone else have
another idea?
Back to the 1790 census (tax list) and the two
Stephens. You will remember from above that two Stephens
married before 1786. One the author labels as the son of
James Sr. and married Ann Clement. The other should be the
son of Rowland and married Elizabeth Barnett. However, the
writer has tried to track this Stephen and has had little
success -- anyone have a suggestion?
Rowland Terry left a will written in 1819 and was
proved in the Granville County Feb. Court of 1824. This will
is strangely written. Read it carefully to see what is meant
by that comment. He claims to have given his son Stephen 100
acres of land previous to the will -- Rowland sold the land
Stephen lived on in 1805 -- did he give him a new plot?
Curtis is said to "come in" for his child's share. All
researchers know Curtis was in Central Tennessee by 1819 and
most likely was in Giles County, Tennessee. It is also
interesting that at the sale of the estate, only a Thomas
Terry, Rowland Terry Jr. and Godfrey Aiken bought items. It
being the usual thing to see all family members involved in
such an event, one asks, where was Curtis, James, John,
William and Henry Johnson? Was the Thomas Terry, executor,
a "friend" only as stated or was he a distant relative?
Also, where was the son Stephen at this time? Then to
compound the problem, one of the two executors, Joseph G.
Norwood, apparently did not register the papers relating to
the disbursement of the monies to the heirs and in 1832 when
Norwood died, the court appointed a committee to audit his
records to satisfy the closing of the Terry probate and the
committee did not bring in the papers (if they existed), and
the settlement record is only the sworn statement by the
committee that the act of settlement was accomplished -- no
proof documents! Thus, where Rowland's children were living
at that time has been the key to many researchers trying to
place father to son.
One at this point may ask, what is the writer trying to
prove? Simply this -- he descends from the James Terry who
married Mary Gooch and removed about 1814/15 to Jackson
County, Tennessee from Granville County. The father of Mary,
Gideon Gooch is well documented in Granville records, but
too many possibilities exist for James' father. Researchers
believe James was born about 1770, thus on the 1786 State
Census, he could be the son of Rowland, James Sr., or of one
of James Sr.'s sons if such is enumerated in the household
119
with James Sr.
Nothing has ever been located naming his father. The
courthouse burned at Jackson County, Tennessee and if any
settlement records referring to North Carolina were there
they were lost. So a monumental effort has been made to
track the sons of each father to try to eliminate or prove
the possibilities. Extensive reading and comparing has been
done to make use of all that can be located in Granville.
This has included comparing of signature marks (see book by
Woodford Terry), bondsman/men on marriage bonds, location of
land by deeds, etc., etc.
The writer has had to conclude the following: If
Rowland's sons followed the norm prior to the father's
writing his will, then Stephen who lived in Island Creek in
the early census' was his first son and stayed close to his
father in the early years of marriage. Curtis stayed until
he received a part of his father-in-law's estate, then he
headed west. Thomas has not been tracked well enough to make
comment. James stayed too until he received a portion of his
father-in-laws estate and shortly followed his brother
Curtis, or they may have gone together. John, who the
writer's James was bondsman for his marriage, also received
part of his father-in-law's estate and shortly there-after
removed west. Rowland Jr., by 1840 too was in Jackson
County, Tennessee and by 1850 has his brother William living
with him.
Now the "norm" is this -- brothers tended to move
either together or to the same areas. They were bondsmen for
each other (i.e., James for Curtis and John), and brothers
tended to marry sisters from another family. Usually,
marriages were between families that lived in close
proximity and generally those who had been around for a
time. Thus, four of Rowland's children married children of
Gideon Gooch who was a close neighbor for at least two and a
half decades before marrying age. In addition, it appears
that five and maybe more of the children were together or
very close in Tennessee at some time.
The writer's conclusion, at this time, places his James
as the son of Rowland. This is however, open to proof that
may in time change such a belief. Sitting beside the writer,
as this is concluded, rests a file cabinet filled with
Granville County records. All are copies of originals, or
hand copied. None-the-less, with all this he remains open to
the fact that somewhere, sometime, a researcher may come
upon an item that will disprove all this theory. If so, well
and good! He welcomes the day when all doubt is erased!
And he is sure that others would also welcome such a find.
Only a very small portion of the documents searched
have been quoted in the foregoing. The writer is aware that
120
there are some who will read this and take opposition to the
conclusions. I would be interested in different views and
conclusions. Assured at this time that a totally correct
answer is not possible, I feel the sharing of thoughts and
bits of documentation, etc., will in time probably piece
this thing together.
Thanks to Mike, the TFH editor for the opportunity to
submit these thoughts. How about articles from other readers
to establish an on-going "readers submit" section each
month?

by
Robert J. Terry
P. O. Box 859 Leland MS 38756
Joseph Minter Terry (b. 1799 - d. 1862 came to
Mississippi in 1836 from Edgefield Courthouse South
Carolina, today known as Edgefield, South Carolina. In a
letter to two of his daughters in Edgefield he wrote of his
trip to Mississippi and the purchase of lands in Hinds
County. He bought 17,000 acres at a cost of 50 cents an acre
and set about developing a large farming operation and
establishment of a store named Line Store. The store also
became a stage coach stop. The original Line Store ledger
and the Terry Family Bible are still in the possession of a
family member.
Joseph M. Terry's son; William David Terry, had the
honor of having the town of Terry named for him. It was
incorporated in 1867. The plantation of one of Mississippi's
most outstanding governors, Albert Gallatin Brown, was near
Terry and the families were life long friends.
One of William David's sons, William Dodd Terry, joined
a number of former Terry residents in the swamplands of the
Delta in about 1895. The Dossett and Tribbett Cassity
families had moved to the Beulah area of Bolivar County
earlier and developed farmlands, mercantile businesses and
Mr. Cassity organized the Bank of Beulah in 1907. The bank
premises were moved several years ago to Rosedale and
renamed First National Bank of Rosedale. W. D. Terry went
into the mercantile business at Beulah. His home is one of
the few still standing there. Beulah was once a thriving
little community boasting the afternoon train called the
"Peavine." Today, like so many little Delta towns of
yesterday, it is nearly deserted -- a very sad thing indeed.
William Dodd Terry was married twice. His first wife
was Virginia Lee Boswell of Brookhaven, Mississippi, who
121
died young. Their only surviving child was Carrie Burnet
Terry, who married Thomas Caleb Hannah of Hattiesburg,
Mississippi. She was very active in all worthwhile civic
projects for over 40 years. She was known for her interest
in historical societies and was one of the state organizers
of the "Daughters of the American Colonists" (1607-1776).
His second wife was the younger sister of Virginia Lee.
Her name was "Leo" Lightner Boswell. The had one son, Robert
Cunningham Terry. Carrie and Robert's maternal grandparents
were Dr. and Mrs. John Jay Boswell, she being the former
Amanda Swepson Sims of Athens, Georgia. They moved to
Mississippi from Columbus, Georgia following the Civil War.
He practiced medicine in Brookhaven until his death in 1870.
Mrs. Boswell lived on for 50 years after his death reaching
the age of 102. She died in 1920.
Robert Cunningham Terry entered the cotton business in
Greenwood, Mississippi as a buyer for Newburger Cotton
Company of Memphis, Tennessee. While in Greenwood, he
married Miss Mary Katherine (Katie) Schweikert of "Silent
Shade Plantation" near Cruger, Mississippi in Holmes County.
He moved his cotton business to Ruleville about 1910.
"Katie" Schweikert was the daughter of Joseph
Schweikert and his wife, Carrie Mae Barkhau. The Barkhau
family had moved to Mississippi Delta from St. Joseph,
Louisiana in the latter half of the 1800's. They purchased
lands on the Yazoo River near Cruger, Mississippi and farmed
for many years. Joseph Schweikert continued to farm "Silent
Shade" during his lifetime and added several plantations to
the original land. The Yazoo River was then navigable and
steamboats passed in the front of the old Barkhau home. They
brought mail, supplies and often visitors -- and lots of
happiness for the many children in the family.
Robert and Katie Terry had three children, "Leo"
Carolyn, Mary Amanda and Robert Joseph. Mary Amanda died at
the age of 19 months in 1913 due to the dread Delta disease,
malaria.
R. C. Terry of Ruleville moved to Leland in 1932 where
he established the Terry Cotton Company. He enjoyed a large
business connection and over the years his company grew to
be one of the successful firms in this area. His untimely
death at the age of 54 in 1939 brought an end to this well
known local business.
"Leo" Carolyn Terry married John W. Weilenman, Sr. in
1933. They farmed large holdings at Stoneville for many
years. He passed away in 1962 and she in 1985. They have one
son, John W. Weilenman, Jr., known to friends and family as
"Johnny." He married Le'Laine Smith of Leland and they have
children, Mary Amanda and John, III. "Johnny" is well known
122
for his interest in competitive pistol shooting and has won
the State Championship in 1984 and 1985. He is a Registered
Surveyor and land owner.
Robert Terry, also known to friends as "Bob" graduated
from Leland High School in 1934. He was active in student
organizations and won the Rotary Award. In the fall of 1934,
he entered Davidson College, Davidson, North Carolina. He
graduated June, 1938 with a BS Degree in Economics. He
entered the life insurance business with Jefferson Standard
at High Point, North Carolina. He was active in the Life
Underwriters' movement in North Carolina and helped
organized the High Point life Underwriters's Association of
that city. He was elected president of the association in
1941. He was also very active in civic, religious and social
life of High Point.
In March of 1942, he entered the Army and was sent to
Camp Chaffee, Arkansas where he was assigned to the 6th
Armored Division. In 1944, he was sent with a group to
Italy, joined the 755 Tk. Bn. and spent the rest of his
overseas duty in Italy. He received a Battlefield Citation
from 755 Tk. Bn. and later awarded the Bronze Star Medal.
After World War II, "Bob" returned to his native State
and opened his own office with Jefferson Standard in the
same office that his dad had used in his cotton business,
116 East Third Street. He has been active in all
organizations that have been a part of the development and
growth of Washington county and Leland since World War II.
He is proud of his 40 years as a Lion's Club member in
Leland and Greenville. Bob believes in the possibilities of
this fine little Delta community and in the spirit of its
citizens. He lives at 609 East Third Street, the Terry home
since 1932.

WHO WAS JOSEPH TERRY THAT DIED IN MISSISSIPPI 1847?
by
Marge Brown
3005 Phyllmar Place
Oakton VA 22124
In the September issue, 1982 of the Terry Family
Historian page 96, appeared the following query (which I
enclose a copy). In the body of the query is this note:
Joseph R. Terry b. 1792, son of Nathaniel and Ann Thompson
Terry was father of my grandmother Martha Ann Terry b. 1834
123
who married Lampkin S. Terry b. 1828 Virginia. This Joseph
R. died in 1847, as recorded in our family Bible.
I do not know the querist descent but I submit proof
that it was not through Joseph R. son of Nathaniel and Ann
Thompson Terry, for their son Joseph is found throughout the
records of Todd and Logan Counties, Kentucky. He is executor
of his father's will in 1837, I find other instruments of
deeds, promissory notes etc., continually in the 1830's to
the 1870's until Joseph R. Terry's death in 1877. He married
2nd Bethenia Phelps in Cumberland County Kentucky 1 Jul
1850. He is found in Kentucky censuses 1850, 1860 and 1870.
In 1871, he applied for a pension for the War of 1812.
It was granted. At his death in 1877, his widow Bethenia
applied for a widows pension, it too was granted after
submission of a deposition from a provable sister of Joseph
R. Terry, Mrs. Lucy Terry Terry Chastain and her husband
John Chastain. At her death, Mrs. Ann Thompson Terry was
residing with Lucy and John Chastain.

NOTES ON THE LINE OF MARTHA ANN TERRY
Mike Terry, Editor
Box 1661
Sapulpa OK 74067
According to TERRY FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA AND ELSEWHERE
by Lina Terry McIlwain published by Lina Terry McIlwain, 33
Village Green Cir., Jackson MS 39211, page 22, the following
is stated:
"Martha Ann Terry b. 28 Sep 1834 AL d. 11 Sep 1897
Attala Co. MS (Dau. of Joseph R. Terry b. 17 May 1792 and
Sarah David Smith) m. 13 Jun 1849 Lampkin Straughn Terry,
her cousin b. 23 Jan 1828 King William Co. VA d. 12 Aug 1893
MS."
Further research indicates:
Lampkin S. Terry received a pension for the Mexican War
#14471. Lampkin S. Terry died the "12th day of August 1893"
and his widow [Martha A. Terry] filed an application for
accrued pension (widows) the 26th Day of October 1893.
She says in her application "she was married to the
said Lampkin S. Terry the 13th day of June 1849 at her
parents home in the state of Mississippi". Her residence was
given as Attala Co. Mississippi and her post office as
Kosciusko.
In a declaration of widow for pension the 29th of
December 1893, Mrs. Martha A. Terry indicated ...."she
married under my name of Martha A. Terry to my said husband,
by Paul Engle a justice of the Peace on or about the 13th
day of June, A.D. 1849 at the residence of Mrs. Lavina Terry
in the state of Mississippi." Martha A. Terry further stated
"I am 59 years of age, and that I was born on or about the
28th day of Sept., A.D. 1834, at my fathers house in the
State of Alabama."
Other researchers note Joseph Royal Terry was not a
resident of Alabama, as he has many records in Kentucky at
that time, and he never married a Lavina.
It appears from the review of documentation received in
this article and noted in the former article, the lines of
Martha Ann Terry and Joseph R. Terry and particularly the
line of descent from Nathaniel and Ann Thompson Terry is
incorrectly stated by several members.
If you wish to receive evidence of the above one can
send to the National Archives, Washington DC for the
complete pension file # 14471.

Larry McGee
ONTARIO TERRY'S
Larry, I am interested in any Terry's, the ones I am
most familiar with are the descendants of Parshall Terry.
The Loyalist part of the family ended up in Canada. [This is
Larry McGee's line at 150/190 Chemist's Comport.] Later
descendants were early elders in LDS church in Utah. Would
like to link up with Terry researchers in Canada.
Mike, I'm interested in the part about the loyalists.
The tradition we have in the family is that the Terry's were
in Palmyra NY area around 1810-1818. Dates are just guesses,
but it was after the Joseph Smith family moved to the area.
Then they moved to Canada, but well before the Book of
Mormon was published in Palmyra and before the Mormon church
was organized near there. So some time between 1818 and
about 1825. I would have thought if they were loyalists,
they would have moved to Canada long before then. Ah here it
is. Parshall Terry III b 30 Sep 1778 in Ft. Niagara, New
York. First child born 19 Aug 1803 in Palmyra New York.
Eighth child born 21 May 1819 in Palmyra. Ninth child born 5
June 1821 in Ontario Canada. So if they were loyalists, they
would have left at least by the War of 1812?

SOLOMON BEACH IN DEARBORN CO. INDIANA
Mike, I noted your message to Yvonne Weber about
Solomon BEACH in Dearborn Co, IN. I also have several lines
that have moved from NJ and PA to OH and on to IN. The NGS
Library has a book "Early Ohio Settlers: Purchasers of Land
in Southwestern Ohio, 1800-1840" compiled by Ellen T. Berry,
published by Genealogical Publishing Co, of Baltimore, 1986
(NGS Call Number F490.B48). This book lists individuals who
bought land in SW Ohio and SE Indiana from the government.
Solomon BEACH has two entries for land purchased in the
area described as follows:
"Indiana Survey: Land lying West of a meridian drawn
West of the Great Miami River (known as the "GORE").
Switzerland, Dearborn, Franklin, Ohio, Union & Randolph
Counties (all or only a part of each county) - all in
Indiana." The entries are as follows:
BEACH, Solomon 2 Sep 1814 resident of Hamilton 2-11-36
BEACH, Solomon 22 Oct 1816 resident of So. Carolina
1-11-30
The three numbers are the Range, Township, and Section
in which the land is located. This book is available at the
NGS Library and through their Library Loan Program however
the above is the entire entry for Solomon BEACH. I hope this
will be of assistance to you. Don

Larry McGee
PARSHALL-TERRY
Larry, Rec'd info regarding 'Hudson Valley Heros'. It
was a lot of PARSHALL and some TERRY. However, the families
are so inter-related it is relevant.
Mike, glad some of it may be of use to you. When I
first heard of your board I was sure you'd already have
everything that I have. Glad I could help. It will probably
be ok to reprint if you give credit to the source. I hope
you'll be able to make a connection with them. I haven't but
then I haven't tried very hard yet either. About
documentation with deeds etc.
Larry, I have very few counties on marriages in your
family. Lots of dates though. I would like to re-print the
Joshua Terry information from religious material.
Mike, the article on Joshua Terry is reprinted from the
"Church News" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints. The particular series was prepared by the Church
Historical department. You could ask for permission there. I
doubt there will be a problem. I think the same stories are
in the Nora Lund book that you sent me a copy of.
Larry, are any of the original officers of the
publication still active or alive?
Mike, I don't know if any are still active. The last I
was able to find around home was 1973 but that could have
been because my parents stopped subscribing rather than that
they stopped publishing. If you find out about them please
let me know.

ENOS TERRY OF OHIO
In the March issue, Bob Terry wrote about one of his
Terrys-- Enos Terry of Ohio. He wrote that he had the
unusual occupation of being a potter. That really excited
me, because our Terry, who was from Ohio, was also a potter.
I immediately wrote Bob a letter. He sent a very nice reply
stating he really didn't know very much about Enos' family,
but he gave me the information he had. I was very sorry to
hear of his death. -- Janet Reid.

JOHN PEASE TERRY
John Pease Terry was born in Coos County, New Hampshire,
February 16, 1807. His parents, Charles Terry and Huldah
Pease, were from New Haven Connecticut, subsequently
removing to New Hampshire, where our subject was born. When
he was three years of age, the family removed to Oneida
County, New York, and one year later to Ontario, now Wayne
County, where his father purchased a farm in the wilderness,
and began clearing it, assisted by his eldest sons. His
father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and died in 1814
from the effects of a gunshot wound received in the defense
of Sodus Point, on Lake Ontario, against the attacks of the
British.
Shortly after this event, young Terry was bound out to
a farmer, where he remained until he was about 19 years of
age. Not liking his master, he left, and after visiting his
sister some thirty miles distant; started on foot for the
west, with but one dollar in his pocket, which he had
borrowed from his mother. He had at this time no definite
destination, but made his way to the mouth of the Genesee
river, walking a distance of some forty miles. Then, by
boat, he reached the mouth of the Niagara river, where,
having spent his dollar, he stoped a short time, and cut
wood to earn some money to enable him to pursue his journey
by water. Reaching Buffalo, he again stopped, and worked a
month carrying brick and mortar, for which he received ten
dollars, half in cash and half in dry goods. He then boarded
a sailing vessel bound for Cleveland, and was some seven
days on the way, the vessel being stormbound. From
Cleveland, he walked to Akron, Ohio, where he found
employment for six months as a clerk in the store of the
131
contractors on the Ohio canal. This was in 1825. For
something over a year subsequent he worked for his brother-
in-law, William Lake, at Newburg, near Cleveland, in he
manufacture of fanning mills. From 1828 to 1832, he was
connected with the engineering corps on the Ohio canal,
being for a part of the time assistant engineer. He was also
subsequently engaged in contracting on the Cincinnati and
Harrison Turnpike. On November 14, 1832, he married Susan
Waller, daughter of Doctor Thomas Waller. He then purchased
an interest in Clinton Furnace, Scioto County, and had
management of it until the spring of 1834, when he was
compelled to sell out and pay a large sum of money on an
endorsement for Jacob Clingman, cashier of the old
Commercial bank of Scioto. This misfortune left him worse
off than nothing.
For several years following he was employed on the
public works of Ohio and Indiana. In the fall of 1837, he
embarked in the wholesale boot and shoe business in
Portsmouth, and so continued for some four years. For the
two subsequent years, he was engaged in freighting products
to New Orleans, and for two years later in farming in the
vicinity of Portsmouth, and still later in the milling
business. In 1853, in connection with others, he built the
Madison furnace, in Jackson County, Ohio, and he had the
general management and supervision of it until 1864. In 1866
he purchased Buckeye furnace, in the same county, conducted
it two years and then sold it. He was subsequently
interested in a farm in Pettis County, Missouri, and also
superintended the building of a furnace in Washington
County, in the same state. After 1847, he was variously
engaged in business in Portsmouth; was a while president of
the First National bank.
He was town surveyor of Portsmouth from 1838 to 1844.
In 1839, he received $50 per year for his services. In 1842,
he and C. McCoy were fence viewers of Wayne Township. In the
same year, he was a director in the Portsmouth Insurance
Company. He was a school trustee in 1857. In 1864 to 1867,
1875, and 1880, he was a member of the City Board of
Equalization. He was a member of the council in 1877. In
1880, he was a candidate for the State Board of Equalization
for the Seventh Senatorial District, but was defeated by W.
T. Washam. He was a director in the Portsmouth Iron and
Steel Works until June 1, 1881, when he became president and
general superintendent; and was also interested in a large
tract of woodland near Portsmouth, working up the timber
into lumber.
He always manifested a large degree of public spirit;
and has been prominently active in advancing the efforts of
his adopted city. He was a member of the county military
committee, during the Civil War, appointed by Governor
Dennison. In the discharge of the duties of this office, he
132
was independent, conscientious, and true to the interest of
his country. Politically, Mr. Terry was a staunch,
uncompromising Republican. He was very successful in this
business, and always maintained first class credit. He was a
fine specimen of a self-made man, and, as his record shows,
worked his way from a poor, fatherless boy to a leading
position among the business characters of his community.
Retiring in manners, strictly honorable and conscientious in
all his dealings, he was greatly respected in the community
for his sterling qualities, both as a man and a citizen.
Mr. Terry had four sons and two daughters: Charles
Terry, Louis Terry, deceased, who has a sketch herein,
George Terry, Thomas Waller Terry, who died in the Civil War
and has a portrait and sketch herein, Mary I. Terry and
Alice B. Terry, who died November 25, 1890. Mr. Terry gave
three sons to the cause of the Union, all three of them
entering the army while yet under age. Mr. Terry died May
17, 1886.

LOUIS WALLER TERRY
Louis Waller Terry was born September 1, 1843, at
Portsmouth, Ohio on the lot where Irvin Drew now lives. His
father was John Pease Terry and his mother was Susannah
Waller. He went through the Portsmouth schools before the
age of sixteen and was in the first graduating class from
the Portsmouth High School. He entered college in the fall
of 1859. He remained in Kenyon College until December 1,
1861, when he enlisted in Company A, 33rd O. V. I. He was
promoted form Private to Sergeant of his company January 1,
1862. He was made Quartermaster Sergeant of the Regiment on
the same day, a double honor. He was mustered out December
4, 1864. He went into the County Treasurer's office as a
clerk and was there until he was married December 17, 1866.
His wife was Florence Tillow, daughter of John Tillow,
a former merchant of Portsmouth. After his marriage he was
book-keeper at Buckey furnace, Jackson county, for three
months. He then went to Hamilton furnace Missouri and was
book-keeper there for a year. From there he went to La
Grange and Clark furnaces, Tennessee, where he was book-
keeper. He was there one year and after that spent three
years as book-keeper at Talladega furnace, Alabama. He
returned to Portsmouth, in 1880, and became book-keeper in
the First National Bank of Portsmouth and were there in that
133
capacity and as Cashier until 1897, when he went to Seattle,
Washington.
May 1, 1889, he was appointed City Collector of
Portsmouth and was reappointed on April 17, 1890. At
Seattle, he engaged in the wholesale cigar business and
continued in it till his death. He died November 15, 1899,
of paralysis. He was interred in Greenlawn and his widow
resides in Portsmouth, Ohio. He was an Odd Fellow, an Elk
and a member of the Grand Army. He was a communicant of
Christ Episcopal church. Mr. Terry was one of the best
business men of his time. As a book-keeper, he had no
superior. Wherever his father was interested, he kept the
books. He was not a man to make acquaintances readily, but
when he once made a friend, he retained him.

DANNY AND THE JUNIORS INCLUDES A TERRY
I received a newspaper clipping from Ernest Fricks with
a picture of a group called Danny and the Juniors which
indicated the group members were Bill Carlucci, Joe Terry
and Frank Maffei. The article went on to say they recorded
the smash hit "At the Hop" about 30 years ago. They have a
new release on the Topaz label "Some Kind of Wonderful".
Information in the article said the group just finished a
stint at the Sands in Atlantic City and were just picked to
present an award at the Monday night's Philadelphia Music
Foundation Awards. "At the Hop" has sold over 10 million
records since it was released in 1957. Terry pointed out
that "At the Hop" was listed as No. 24 on the list of the
top 100 rock 'n' roll songs from the last 30 years, which
was compiled by Billboard magazine. "Imagine, we beat out
(placed higher) Michael Jackson,", says Terry. More than a
few folks also remember their hit "Rock and Roll Is Here
Stay." -- Just thought you would like to know and the editor
is showing his age!

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
TERRY
The surname Terry is distinct in origin from the
forename Terry. The surname is from the Germanic Theodoric;
the forename from the Latin Terentius or Terence.
As a family name, Terry, which is rated Irish and
English, had a circuitous development.
The source Theodoric (people-rule) was picked up by the
French, turned into Thierry and passed along to the British
in the 11th century.
In Britain it underwent the usual changes. In 1086 it
was Tedric, in 1200 Tericus, in the 1400's Terrick and in
the 1600s Terye. By the 18th century it has settled on
Terr(e)y
The name turned up in Ireland about the 12th-13th
century as Therry, Tyrry and Tirry, especially around
Kilkenny and Cork. For the last several centuries it has
135
been spelled Terry. John Foley

SKETCH BY W. F. SURBER
My father, Adam Surber, was born in Virginia in 1804,
and when he was about 18 years old he emigrated to Kentucky
with his parents where they bought land in Pulaski county at
fifty cents per acre. My grandfather's name was Jacob
Surber, and he lived many years after moving to Kentucky.
There were eight children in our family, but I am the only
one now living. I was born January 13, 1835, and am
therefore 87 years old. My wife and I have raised 11
children, all now married except one girl and she is living
with us. We have 34 grandchildren and 26 great
grandchildren.
I left Kentucky January 10, 1870, and landed at Center
Point, Texas, one month later. This was in Indian times, and
raids frequently occurred. One time while I was away from
home, up on the Verde threshing, my wife had a severe
toothache and got up during the night to get fresh air, and
when she opened the door someone jumped over the fence and
ran away. The next morning there were two horses about 300
yards from the house that had been killed by the Indians.
Not long after that the redskins came in again and stole two
fine Kentucky horses from my cousin, Munroe Surber, near
Comfort. The last and most brutal raid occurred in 1876. A
138
family named Terry lived about a mile and half south of
Center Point. When the Indians came in on this raid they
found Mr. Terry and his four little children some distance
from the house and killed him and two of the children, badly
wounded a third child and carried a little girl, nine years
old, off with them. A negro boy named Jack Hardy had been
captured in this raid and witnessed the killing of Terry and
his children. At the time of the attack Terry was sitting
down on the ground riving boards from cypress blocks and his
children were playing about. As he had his head down he did
not see the Indians approach, and was unaware of their
presence until one of them shot him with a rifle. He sprang
to his feet, ran a short distance and fell and was lanced to
death by the Indians. Mrs. Terry, at the house, heard the
commotion and seeing the danger, made her escape, ran to the
settlement and gave the alarm. A party of men took the trail
of the Indians and followed it to the Frio where they ran
into the savages and captured the little girl. The negro boy
got away from the Indians and was picked up by the pursuing
party. I helped to wash and prepare the body of Terry for
burial the next day. He was horribly butchered. Besides
being shot he had been pierced through the body with lances
and was bloody from head to foot.
