I'm still thinking about what to write by Mike Terry Well, we made to the big one. Hope this is a very "Terry'fing" 2000 for you all. Jay Terry who contributed much of the early documentation in the form of census information and notes on NC/SC Terry Families in the early Terry Family Historian is now on line at: jaydtmusic@yahoo.com I have published information on his Terry line beginning with himself to the last proven Terry in his line from Granville, NC. It is in an Adobe Acrobat PDF file called: Jay Terry Genealogy Report.PDF Please note the caveat concerning the unproven aspects of Jay Terry's line by Frank Skidmore in the Terry Genforum at: http://genforum.familytreemaker.com/terry/messages/1977.html I will be publishing notes about Granville Co. NC Terry Families and
connections as I receive them from Jay. Additionally, I received a GEDCOM on the Parshall Terry family from Jenny Kernan-Cienfuegos jkernan@xpressweb.com which she admitts is not documented; however, I would like to have comments and possibly add documentation as we go along. Carol Schwaderer Dickinson ddced@alaska.net who is of the line of Parshall Terry has also recieved this GEDCOM and may be making some comments and/or suggestions about it. All of the above referenced data is found on this
page at the bottom right hand side of the page: This is the beginning of what I have labeled as group research. Will add these as time permits. As we update the information in the GEDCOM's I will re-publish the information. Please treat them as drafts in progress -- educated/uneducated guesses. They will change -- always, always check primary documentation and the original documents. Don't accept it just because it shows up here in the TFH. My thanks to the keen eye of Stephen Terry of Raleigh, NC for noting my serious problems with the North Carolina Census information in the Terry Family Historian issue June 1988 TERRY FAMILY HISTORIAN JUNE 1988. Jay Terry who contributed the information confirmed I had incorrectly listed the 1850 Censuses as 1860 in all of the counties after Richmond County in the NC censuses. The corrections have been made are quite prominent in that issue now.:
It's February 26th, 2000 and this will be a wrap for this issue. I will publish the e-mails I have recieved privately as time permits; however, I have to clean up some of the Terry cussin' and discussin'. Mike Terry, Editor

Parshall Terry #38 (son of Jonathan Terry #19 and Jemima Parshall) Born on Long Island, August 8, 1734; died at East Palmyra, New York, May 15, 1811, probably 1810) Settled in the Wyoming Valley, Pa.

(This is probably correct, although Stuart T. Terry crossed this name out and in place of it added Joana Moore (widow) Parshall. I (Carol Dickinson not WZT) have other information on this family. Its interesting but written by an elderly lady who did not include sources. She claimed she had them but never sent them. She is undoubtedly dead or no longer able to correspond. Letters to her address are neither returned nor replied to. But truly interesting probably oral history of this family. Jonathan Terry #19 (son of Nathaniel #8 and wife unknown) Born in Southold about 1707: died November 18, 1753, age 46 years. Some believe that Jonathan was the son of Nathaniel Terry, Sen., and Mary Horton, but the reasoning is so indefinite that we prefer to follow the traditional view that he was the son of Nathaniel, Jr., (handwritten correction - Jonathan was) Tailor in Southold Married May 17, 1730 Jemima Parshall, daughter of Isreal Parshall and Joanna Swezy, born at Southold about 1708/10.

Marriage and name of wife unknown, probably the parents of Jonathan Terry #19 Nathaniel Terry #3 ( son of Richard Terry #l and Abigail Lines) Born at Southold, Long Island in the beginning of January 1656; died at Southold, October 23, 1723, age 67 years. Married November 31, 1682, Mary Horton, daughter of Caleb Horton and Abigail hallock. The date of her birth is in question, she died September 266, 1728. Richard Terry, the immigrant Born in England about 1618, may have been August 17, 1618. Died on his farm "Quashaneck" near Southold, Long Island, about May 1676. His will dated July 6, 1675 was proved at Southold May 13, 1676. Came to America in 1635 sailing from London on the ship James on July 13th. The three Terry's on the ship, Thomas age 28, Robert age 25 and Richard age 17, are supposed to have been brothers. They landed at Salem, Massachusetts. Richard remained there a short time, then removed to Springfield, thence to Lynn, and finally in 1640 to Southold, being one of the original thirteen settlers. Thomas Terry afterwards settled at Southold. Robert Terry settled at Flushing, Long Island. Richard Terry was recorder of the Southold Town and clerk of the court from 1664 to 1673. He recorded the names and births of his children on the Town records married May 22, 1649/50 Abigail Lines, name variously spelled Loines, Line, Lyune, Lind, etc. She was probable the daughter of Ralph Lines who died in New Haven in 1640. She was living with her son John in Quashaneck farm in 1683. The manuscript by WZ Terry was typewritten. The copy I have is a very very very faded photocopy of the manuscript I collected from the LDS library in Salt Lake. WZ Terry quotes as his sources a. Manuscript prepared by James P. Terry of Rockville, Utah b. Material prepared from various printed books (citations given) by Addie Bell Baggerly Chase, of Washington, D. C. for Nellie Terry Garlock, of Port Gibson, N.Y. c. Material furnished by Nellie Terry Garlock of Port Gibson, N.Y. and by her sister Alice Terry Throope of Montclair,N. J. d. Microfilm copy of the manuscript prepared by Stuart T. Terry of Southold, Long Island. Original in the Historical Library of Suffolk County at Riverhead, Long Island e. Various family records and letters Additional information from other sources is in my collection. A couple of more possible generations of Terry's in England. The Parshall ancestry published in the Parshall book 1906 going back to the ancient Kings of England, a few generations of Abigail Lines ancestry. Misc. stuff. A few generations of Hortons. I am descended from William NATHAN Terry (son of Parshall Sr. and Deborah Clark) died Pontiac Michigan. Carol Dickinson
The Terry Family of William and Mary
Raiford submitted by Jay Terry jaydtmusic@yahoo.com The file(s) wmraif.rtf and wmraif.pdf, includes the family of Rev'd William Terry and wife Sarah Childs (Leak) Terry. There has been a lot of guessing and wondering on this family because when Rev'd Wm. died at the home of his brother, either no probate was done, or it was done in a county where the records were destroyed. Thus, I'm sure a lot of people will question this. But I have great documentation from AR, TX, MS and AL. From different persons in the family yet all showing the same story.
Family
of Phillip Terry of Beaufort District SC My
name is Raymond Donald Terry, son of Jacob Miles Terry III. I received
your e-mail and I would like to thank you for the info. I thought you
might be interested in what I have on my family line. Jacob Miles Terry
Sr. and Jr. are buried in the Crocketsville cemetery as are many more of
the Terry's that married others (Hiers, Bowers, and Gooding). My
Grandmother, Mary Lutitia Brunson Terry and a lot of her relatives are
buried in the cemetery at Beech Branch Baptist Church, just outside
Hampton S.C. My father and mother, Maudie Elizabeth Covington Terry, are
buried just north of Statesboro, Ga. at Upper Mill Creek Cemetery. I
know very little about this Genealogy business but I am trying. I
am retired now and have more time. My
son is the last of our line of Terrys. He has two girls and they can have
no more. Raymond

Miles Terry Sr., born January 19, 1826, between Prince William Baptist
Church and the town of Hampton, now known as the Tom Miley Place, Hampton
County, S.C. While he was growing up he got enough education to carry him
through, he wrote a beautiful old fashioned hand. When he was about 20 years
old he was taken very ill and lost his sense of hearing partially. When he
was 25 years old he married Elizabeth Ann Branch, January 2, 1850. She was
also 25 years old. His
father gave him a home of about 150 acres of land. He worked hard and
improved it. He had field workers and worked in his own black-smith shop. He
made plows and worked on wagons and buggies. He invented the Sweeper Plow
and gave the pattern away and it is now known as the Orangeburg Sweep. He
did not know the value of it. He gave each of his children a hove of about
125 acres of land, except his oldest son, Dan, who inherited some of his
father’s talent of working with machinery and did not want land. Jacob
Miles Terry Sr. and Elizabeth Ann Branch had ten children: Eugenia

quite young, at the age of 16. She had one brother. William Branch and two
sisters Rebecca and Martha Branch. In
those days there were no sewing machines, and she lived around with her
neighbors and sewed with her fingers, whipping, gathering, and hemming
frills for the young girls dresses, making beautiful stitches until she was
married to my father Jan. 2, 1850. My
husband John Hiers and I moved in with my father, as I inherited the home
place. He lived about six years after my mother's death, passing on Jan. 7,
1902. They were both faithful members of the Whipey Swamp Primitive Baptist

Hello Mike, Today I learned that the father of Rosemond Terry (m. Benjamin Henry) was Thomas Terry of Pittsylvania County, VA. This information is contained in an Indenture dated 19 December 1816 which states briefly: "This indenture made this 19th day of December 1816 between Thomas Terry, Walker Terry, Benjamin Henry and Rosa Henry his wife all of whom are legatees of the late Thos Terry dec'd of Pittsylvania County and State of Virginia of the first part and ????? Smith of Pittsylvania County and State of Virginia on the other part. Witness whereas (?Champess) Terry, Nathaniel Terry, Joseph Terry, Susannah Beasley, (?Solomon) Dalton and his wife Mary Dalton ..." Rosemon Terry was born c. 1778 per 1850 census. Married Benjamin Henry 1812. Died 1850-1860, probably 1850-1853. Is the Thomas Terry mentioned above the same Thomas Terry Son of Benjamin Terry/Elizabeth Parker. Would appreciate any help.
