For those who wonder: I still hope to have a phone modem by the end of this year and possibly a hard disk depending on personal finances so we can start a TERRY BULLETIN BOARD. Just could not swing it in 1985. Editor.
* * * EDITOR'S NOTES * * *
Well, off to another start for 1986. My goals for the coming year:
1) I have personally been concentrating on South Carolina Terry Families and related lines and have made a commitment to unravel the Terrys in this state this year. I am also asking for volunteers to commit to do some census research or commit funds to have professional genealogists provide primary research in South Carolina. Hopefully, this will provide the links to several Terry families in the South. If you would like to be a part of the South Carolina task force please let me know. If you have any references to South Carolina Terrys or those that originated in South Carolina, please send them to the editor. You may contact me at 405-242-5158 in the evening. This includes: Bible records, census records, deeds, wills, inventories, marriages, family sheets, pedigree charts, cemetery records, old letters, narratives, etc.
2) Concentration on publication of primary documents and records outside of the South.
3) Updating and correcting Stephen Terry's Notes on Terry Families 1887.
4) Publication of pedigree charts of members of the Terry Family Historian. An example is the editor's personal pedigree chart in this issue. WILL EVERYONE SEND A RECENT PEDIGREE CHART OR UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION previously printed in the TFH by July 1, 1986! Also indicate your permission to print this chart with your address.
* * * * *
My own personal attitude toward family sheets, pedigree charts, biographies, narratives, bible records is: They are useful for one purpose.-- To give us a road map to find primary records to prove relationships. Therefore, it is very important to include locations of particular date- events i. e., parishes, counties, towns, and states on these sheets or other data. It is also important to identify very clearly what is the actual record and what is your personal comments in each case. This will allow others [at the present time or perhaps years from now] to pursue leads.
If you send in a pedigree chart and someone challenges it, be prepared to back up your line with primary (legal) documentation, i. e., deeds, wills, estates, military birth and death records. Because the editor prints it in the TFH, does not necessarily indicate it is documented fact.
1
What I do in the TFH is similar to putting together a puzzle. I am a collector of Terry Family "puzzle pieces". When I get a sufficient number of pieces and can see the outlines of a recognizable object in the puzzle, it becomes a short article in the TFH. The puzzle pieces isolated do not portray anything in themselves and the editor does have many single pieces to several incomplete Terry Family puzzles. These are all sizes, colors and shapes of little sheets of paper with and without documentation at times.
I personally do not have a large library of primary records in Enid, Oklahoma. I do have access to a large collection of information sent by readers of the TFH over the years from across the United States. I try to print documents or articles in the TFH which give clues to relationships and heirs or relate to another geographical areas. These are most valuable to researchers.
If you are not sure about your lineage, please use a generous number of the words "probably", "believed to be" in your records. Please do not be offended by myself or others should your assumptions be questioned. I personally will print a comment from time to time if I have evidence that casts doubt on your assumptions. This is particularly true in reference to Terry families in South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas and Texas wherein lies my personal interest and expertise.
It is becoming impossible for me to answer mail on an individual or timely basis so I have tried to insure that your questions are published in the TFH and have tried to compensate with the December 1985 TFH issue which lists surnames that members have submitted in various queries over the last four years. In addition to this I have, from time to time, published indexes to the TFH which give some ideas to what was covered in that issue. There are particularly good notes on Edgefield, Chester, Laurens, Greenville, Fairfield Counties in South Carolina and Rockingham County, North Carolina in several issues. I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO PURCHASE BACK ISSUES as many of the questions I receive are answered in articles in those particular issues or in queries from readers. Any suggestions concerning the correspondence problem and how we might handle it better would certainly be appreciated. I know there is a great deal of interaction between members and the editor would appreciate a carbon copy or notations.
In any event, you are most likely to receive correspondence from the editor if you send information that has never been included, covers a new area or family in TERRY RESEARCH, or adds information to a line of interest to several TFH members.
2
I would encourage you to sit down and begin writing about yourself and preceding generations of your family for others. If you do not write, a tape recording is a good way to do this as well. I welcome any narratives that you might submit.-- Mike Terry, The Editor

COVERING THE TERRY-TORY
by Robert W. Terry 4900 Springdale Rd. Cincinnati OH 45247
I wonder how many of you TFH readers received an invitation last November to attend the "Historic Grand Reunion of the Terry's of Ireland."
My invitation came from Halbert's Inc. Heritage Travel, 3699 Ira Road, Bath, Ohio, U.S.A. 44210. It painted a rosy picture of the 10-day tour with such comments as these:
"You'll be feasted at medieval banquets and daily in country pubs rife with the tangy scent of peat fires and the eddy of Irish conversation and song."
"You'll celebrate your Terry heritage when you meet privately with the Chief Herald of Ireland. He will present you with fascinating information about ancestor Terrys from the Irish side of the Atlantic."
"You'll be an honored guest at a gala reunion banquet in Dublin, where the Terrys from the United States will celebrate their heritage with Terrys from Ireland."
I failed to answer the invitations before the Dec. 11, 1985 deadline for several reasons:
1) Although the cost, $2195 per person, included everything but alcoholic beverages, it doesn't fit my budget.
2) Like other Terry researchers, I lean to the belief that Terry may have been "Thierry" originally, of French or Norman origin.
3) The reasoning presumes that Terrys went to England during or after the Norman Conquest in 1066, and that Terry migration to either Ireland, Scotland or Wales started in England.
3
4) Since my personal search for ancestors is bogged down in southern New Jersey, I don't know the overseas origin of my clan.
Since the invitation said similar ones were going to "every Terry family in the United States that we can locate", I'm guessing that other TFH readers also received them. Perhaps some of you will make the June 5-15 trip; if you do, take notes and send them to Mike Terry for publication here. We stay-at-homes realize that Mike is the "Grand Herald" of Terrys in the U. S. A.
While I ponder the unkindness of the Ohio Lottery in not rewarding me with a sizable prize, I'm reminded of lines from a grammar school poem:
"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, "The saddest are these: 'It Might Have Been.'"
("Maude Muller")

GEORGIA TERRY RECORDS
Submitted by Betty Jo TERRY 1725 Bouldercrest Rd. SE Atlanta GA 30316
In my off-and-on years of research for my husband's TERRY ancestors, I have drawn the following conclusions. They cannot yet be authenticated, but one day the truth will be discovered.
My father-in-law, Carlton Floyd TERRY, red-headed, with natural curl, and gray eyed, was the baby of twelve children. Therefore, he was the apple of his father's eye. (WILLIAM MARION TERRY) and gathered much oral history from him.
He related to me in the 1950's that his grandfather, PINCKNEY TERRY, came to Georgia from Texas -- a switch from the "goin' to Texas line. He had been in a war there. He had originally been from Virginia. All information I've been able to authenticate was that Pinckney TERRY was a farmer of 48 in 1864 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, from Laurens County, SC.
Mrs. Frances TERRY Hazelriggs (C. F. TERRY's sister) told me before her death that her grandfather's name was William Pinckney TERRY and that he had come originally from Virginia.
In the "Shakerag" community of Forsyth/Gwinnett/Fulton Counties, GA, (right on the lines) is a monument to the old
10
cemetery to the soldiers who were with Fannin at Goliad during the war for Texan independence in 1836. In Lawrenceville, GA, (Gwinnett County) is a monument to two Gwinnett County men who fell at Goliad in 1836.
In 1836 Pinckney TERRY would have been about 26 or 27 years old, and the correct age to be a soldier.
My surmise is that somehow he was in Fannin's troops, fought with them, and fortunately managed to escape the massacre, returning to Georgia where his family must have settled about the same time of the Gold Lottery. My further surmise is that his father was either Reverend Stephen TERRY, of Forsyth County, William TERRY, who owned a tavern license in Forsyth County, or Thomas TERRY. All three of these men were in Gwinnett County, GA, in 1820, and later were in Forsyth County after the 1832 Gold Lottery.
There were many TERRY heads of households in this area in the 1830-1900 time span. Many of them were from Kentucky, some from SC, and some from Virginia. I believe, however, they were somehow related.
On the following sheets, I am sending you all my research on the TERRY name, especially in Georgia. There is some little in other areas.
I trust it will help you, or some other TERRY researcher. ------------------------------------------------------------

Prior to 1832 Forsyth County and all lands north of the Chatahoochee River belonged to the Cherokee Indians. Adjoining was Gwinnett County to the east of the river.
The lands were opened up with a Gold Lottery in 1832. William I. TERRY and John TERRY, Jr., received lands in this lottery.
William received land in the 14th District, 2nd section, lots #311 and #323, right on the Chattahoochee
11
River and Gwinnett County line.
John received lands in the 17th and 19th districts far to the west and north of the territory.

NOTE: These two brothers did much to build Atlanta prior to the Civil War. Atlanta's first waterworks was built on Mr. Stephen TERRY's land. He suffered through the holo- caust of the war and finally, being unable to stand any more it was reported he returned to South Carolina. [Editor's note: He may have returned at some time, but is buried in Lakewood Section of Atlanta near his home at the time.] The researcher has wondered a lot about this man and has won- dered if he could possibly be the same Stephen TERRY buried in Forsyth County cemetery. [See note above, Editor.]
The land upon which the Terry brothers farmed is in what is in 1986 is known as the Lakewood Section of Atlanta. The Southeastern fairs were held on this property for many, many years and now Bert Reynolds and other actors use the old exhibition buildings for making movies. Smoky and the Bandit and its sequel was filmed on the old Terry lands. Submitted by Betty Jo Terry, Atlanta GA.

HOW A WOMAN PUT TWO ROBBERS TO FLIGHT
By S. C. Turnbo
The writer has mentioned the Bull Bottom in these sketches on several occasions. As is well known in Marion County, Arkansas, this bottom is situated on the left bank of White River in Cedar Creek township. I am informed that George Weaver made the first settlement here. Weaver sold the improvements on this land to old man John Terry, the first settler on the Asa Yocum place and Mr. Terry gave the improvements to his sons Tom and Ron Terry. After Tom Terry's wife died and Wilshire Magness died Mr. Terry and Wilshire's widow were married in 1860 and lived in this bottom until ravages of cruel war forced them to abandon their home here. When Mr. Terry enlisted in the union army his wife whose name was Elizabeth was left alone with the children to contend against hardships, thieves and robbers. There were 6 children, Joe Magness and Bob Magness, children by her first man Wilshire Magness, and Joe Terry, Dump Terry and Mary Terry, which were Tom Terry's children by Mr. Terry's first wife who was a sister to Wilshire Magness, and Tom Terry an off spring of the marriage between Mr. Terry and Mrs. Magness the latter child was 6 months old. Mr. Terry's wife in describing the hardships she encountered in this bottom while her and the children were staying there alone said that one day two men who were horseback and well armed approached the house and rode up to the yard gate and stopped and demanded to know if she knew where any rebels were. She told them that she did not know anything about them. After they had repeated the inquiry a few times they reversed the questions put to her and they wanted to know if she knew where any feds were and she answered in the negative. The were very inquisitive and continued to ask her questions until they found that they could not obtain any information from her. They then backed their horses from the gate and reining them around as if they were going to ride off and stopped and held a whispered conversation and then they started off down toward the lower part of the bottom. I was convinced that they had gone off to procure help to rob the house and drive off the stock. I and Mr. Terry owned more than 100 head of cattle which Terry kept on the range in the hills of Music Creek. This was just after we were married, but in 1862 the land pirates taken all but a few of them and disposed of them. Mr. Isaiah Wilkerson who lived on Music Creek just above the mouth noticing that the principal part of the cattle had been stole he gathered up the remainder which included a few milk cows and drove them across the river where we could find them. The cows were giving milk and the milk from the cows kept the children from starving. After the two men had left I went to work with a determination to save my stuff in the house and my
20
milk cows if I had to fight for the property and with the help of the children that was old enough to do anything I went to work and carried all our household stuff into the house that had only one door. I forgot to mention that there were two houses with a hall between them. Then I armed myself and the oldest children with something to fight with such as the chopping axe, hatchet, butcher knives, clubs and so on. Then I and the children sit down and waited for the return of the bandits and in a little while I saw the same two men coming back driving the milk cows before them. I saw at once that it was their intention to steal all we had and I says, "Children, let us not let them scoundrels have an easy job taking our stuff from us." When they had reached near the cow lot gate with the cattle the calves began to bleat and the children began to cry for the little innocent and helpless children depended on the cows for a living and when they realized that the robbers intended to take the cattle from us we would all have to meet starvation and distress. My heart seemed to sink in despair for they had the power to drive them off but I had set a resolution that I would fight to the last moment to save the cows and my household. But what could I do to help myself, they would take all we had in sprite of all the efforts I could do to prevent it. The robbers were preparing to let the calves out to the cows to make ready to drive them off and about the moment I was ready to interfere with their theiveish plans a thought came into my mind that I might get rid of them before they had time to ride roughshod over me and the children and I put it into execution at once by snatching the dinner horn from where it was hanging on the wall in he hallway and blew a lout blast with it, then stopped a moment and blew it a second time then I hallooed at the top of my voice and used these words, "Here they are, come quick." Then I repeated the blowing of the horn and yelled out the same words. The two marauders seemed to be awfully surprised and remounted their horses and urging them into a gallop and run to the river bank and down it to the waters edge and plunged into the river and swam across to the opposite shore and up the bank they went beyond my view. As they were getting away I blew he horn and kept repeating he same words loud as he strength of my lungs would admit. I succeeded in bluffing them and saving my property from he rascals so far. No doubt they were fully convinced that a body of federal soldiers were nearby ready to pounce on them. I learned afterward that these men never stopped until they reached the John Knight cabin in the range of the Short Mountain which was used as a gathering place of a number of southern men in war days. In a short time after this I moved out into Missouri where I received better protection from the unwelcome bandits and guerrillas. Mrs. Elizabeth Terry, who after the death of Mr. Terry, married Henry Clark, died at her old home in the southeast part of Taney County,
21
Missouri, February 13, 1907, and was buried in the graveyard at Protem on the following day. ------ The first Tom Terry mentioned in "How a Women Put Two Robbers To Flight" is a son of John Terry of Indiana. Tom first married Annie Magness and they had children: Joe, Thomas "Dump", and Mary. Annie died and he married Annies brothers', Wilshire Magness, widow, Nancy (Holt) Magness. Wilshire and Nancy had two sons,Joe and Robert "Bob" Magness. Then Tom and Nancy had one son, Thomas Terry. Tom was killed in the Civil War and Nancy later married Henry Clark.

Ohio Miscellaneous Terry Records
JOHN PEASE TERRY 1807-1886
John Pease Terry, late of Portsmouth, was born in Coos County, New Hampshire, February 16, 1807. His father, Charles Terry, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, November 14, 1744, and died there May 19, 1815. He married Hulda, daughter of Ebenezer and Hulda (Pease) Pease, of Hartford, Connecticut, January 9, 1772. The children of Charles and Hulda (Pease) Terry were Charles, born September 25, 1792; Horace, Born November 11, 1794; Hulda, December 7, 1796; Henry, Harriet, married Horace Perkins, and resided at Port Byron, New York; Esther, married a Mr. Lake, and lived in Ontario county, New York; John P. (subject of sketch); George, married Sarah Jenkins, and lived at Winamac, Indiana.
Samuel Terry, father of Charles, and grandfather of our subject, was born April 28, 1703, and died about 1759. He was married January 30, 1734, in Springfield, Massachusetts, to Sarah, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Bridgman) Chapin, who was a native of Springfield, born February 18, 1707, and died January 25, 1773. Their children were Samuel, a shoemaker, born April 20, 1736, died April 1, 1802; Eli, born February 26, 1737, died at Locke, New York, in 1816; he married Elizabeth Olds, of Locke, New York, who died in 1818; Sarah, born August 18, 1739; married Thomas Fairfield, of South Hadley, Massachusetts, May 3, 1759; Charles, Mary, born February 27, 1745, died November 4, 1804. She married, August 20, 1767, Preserved White, Jr., who was born November 25, 1743, and died June 8, 1823. They lived in Springfield.
22
Thomas Terry, great-grandfather of our subject, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, March 6, 1664, and lived to be over eighty years old. His first marriage occurred at Springfield, Massachusetts, April 21, 1687, to Mary, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Cooley. She was born June 29, 1659, and died December 16, 1720. Their children were: Mary, married John Lombard; Ann, married Joseph Younglove; Bethia, married Henry Burt; Thomas, married Martha Miller; Rebecca, married John Brooks; and Samuel.
Samuel Terry, the immigrant, was the father of Thomas, and the founder of the American branch of the family. He was born about the year 1633, in Barnet, England, which is eleven miles from London. The Hon. William Pynchon, of Springfield, Massachusetts, visited England in the early part of 1650, and there received as an apprentice the boy Samuel Terry, and brought him to New England. On the arrival in Massachusetts of Mr. Pynchon, he became involved with the Colonial authorities on account of his theological views, and for this reason left the country the next year. Young Terry was then (October 15, 1650) apprenticed to Benjamin Cooley, a weaver, of Springfield, Massachusetts. January 3, 1660, he married Ann Lobdell. She died in May, 1684. November 19, 1690, he married Sarah, widow of John Scott, and daughter of Thomas and Margaret Bliss. There were no children by this marriage. The children of Samuel and Ann (Lobdell) Terry were: Samuel. first married Hannah Morgan, and second, Margaret, widow of Benjamin Crane, Jr.; Ephraim, who was "drowned in ye great river at ye wharf," at Springfield, Massachusetts, when but seven years old; Thomas; Mary married Jeremiah Horton, Jr.; an infant daughter; Ephraim, married Hannah Eggleston; Rebecca, named for deceased sister, married Alex Wright; Elizabeth; and Ann, who married John Bliss.
The European ancestry of our subject may be traced to John Terry, of England, who lived in the first half of the seventeenth century. Charles Terry, father of our subject, moved from Connecticut to New Hampshire, where he resided for three years. He then took his family to Oneida county, New York, where he remained for one year, and then moved to Ontario, now Wayne county, and purchased a farm in the wilderness. Assisted by his growing sons he cleared this tract. He died in 1814 from the effect of a gunshot wound received at the battle of Sodus Point, on Lake Ontario, having served two years as a soldier in the war of 1812.
Shortly after his father's death the subject of this sketch was bound out to a farmer, and remained with him until nineteen years old. He then determined to go West, and with a single dollar in his pocket, given him by his mother, he started down the Genesee river, walking a distance of
23
forty miles to its mouth. He then proceeded by boat to the mouth of the Niagra river, and having spent the last penny of the dollar, he stopped and cut wood for a time in order to get some cash. He next proceeded to Buffalo, where he worked for a month as attendant on a brick-mason and received ten dollars for his services, half in cash and half in dry goods. He took passage in a sailing vessel for Cleveland, and the vessel having a storm to weather was just a week in making the trip. From Cleveland he proceeded on foot to Akron, where he was employed for six months as clerk in a dry-goods store. In 1825 he worked for his brother-in- law, William Lake, at Newburg, Ohio, who was engaged in the manufacture of fanning mills. In 1828 he began work with the engineering corps on the Ohio canal, and later became assistant engineer. He was thus employed for four years. He did some contract work on the Cincinnati and Harrison turnpike during this time.
Our subject had now acquired a small capital, and in 1832 purchased an interest in the Clinton furnace, of Scioto county. Unfortunately he had indorsed heavily for friends who failed in their business ventures, an in 1834 Mr. Terry was obliged to dispose of all his property to meet these endorsements. The next few years were given to contract work in Ohio and Indiana, and in 1837 he opened a wholesale boot and shoe establishment at Portsmouth, Ohio, which he conducted for four years, and then for two years was engaged in running flatboats to New Orleans, carrying the products of the country. About this time he purchased considerable agricultural land near Portsmouth and farmed it; later he added a milling business to this. In 1853 he built the Madison furnace, in Jackson county, and was its active manager until 1864. He purchased the Buckeye furnace in 1866 and two years later sold it. He had business interests in Pettis county, Missouri, and managed the building of a furnace in Washington county, Missouri. He was prominently identified with business affairs of Portsmouth from 1874 to the time of his death. He was a large stockholder in the First National Bank, and for a time acted as its president. He served as director in the Portsmouth Iron and Steel Works until June 1, 1881, when he was made president and general superintendent. Mr. Terry was married November 14, 1832, to Susan Waller, daughter of Dr. Thomas Waller (see sketch elsewhere). Of the children, Charles was born November 30, 1839; he married Josephine Johnley, of Scioto. Thomas Waller was born February 9, 1841. He was taking a course at West Point when the war broke out. He left school and became a member of the staff of General S. S. Fry, and at Camp Burnsides, Kentucky, died March 3, 1864, having contracted typhoid fever. George was born March 10, 1846. During the war he was a member of the Union Light Guards, whose duty it was to act as a body guard for the president. At the death
24
of President Lincoln he was appointed Orderly on the staff of General Augur, and is now located in the town of Blaine, Washington; he was married in March, 1888, to Miss Flora Tice, of Cincinnati. Lewis W. was born September 16, 1843. He attended Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, for a short time. In 1861 he enlisted in Company A, Thirty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry and served through the entire war. After the war he was engaged in the furnace business for a time, later became cashier of the First National Bank, a position which he still fills. He was married December 17, 1866, to Miss Phoebe Tillow, daughter of John and Elizabeth (nee Williamson) Tillow. Of the daughters, Alice Bancroft was born April 16, 1852, and died November 25, 1890. Mary Indiana, the oldest child, was born February 4, 1837, and is living with her mother at the old home in Portsmouth.
John Pease Terry died May 18, 1886, and is buried in the Portsmouth cemetery. He was a man of fair business success, and public spirited in a marked degree. Politically he was a straight, uncompromising Republican. During the war he was appointed a member of the Military Committee for the Eleventh District, by Governor Dennison. He was intensely patriotic, and, as will be seen above, sent three sons to the war. His credit has always remained unimpaired, and thus he was enabled to get a start in life again when every dollar was taken to pay surety money. The early struggles of the fatherless boy only fitted the man for the encounters of life. He was a fine specimen of the self-made man, and may be pointed to with pride by a loving relationship and an admiring posterity. Source: Biographical History of the Scioto Valley.

Mrs. Bryant was born in Marion county, Ohio, August 27, 1855. Her father, Champness Terry, a native of Virginia, emigrated to Ohio in 1831 and settled in Marion county, where he bought five hundred acres of land, a portion of which extended into Hardin county. On this land he built a log cabin and in true pioneer style set about the work of clearing his farm, which he accomplished in due time. The Terrys are of English origin. Thomas Terry, the grandfather of Champness, was born in England; in early life he came to America and settled in Virginia and later was a soldier in the Revolutionary war. His son Thomas, Champness Terry's father, was a slaveholder in Virginia; religiously, he was a Quaker, and, espousing the Abolition cause, he moved to Ohio and freed his slaves. Champness Terry was twice married. By his first wife, whose maiden name was Anne Thompson, he had six children, namely: Thomas J. (deceased), Joseph C., David D., John H., Sarah J. (deceased), and William P. (deceased). Three of the sons were veterans of the Civil war - James M., Luke A., and David D. The last named was killed in action. For his second wife he married Rebecca Peters, who bore him fourteen children, as follows: Mary A., James M., Luke A., George W., Ruth C., Elizabeth A., Zachariah, Catherine L., Hannah J., Magnolia, Mack C., Susan R., and two that died in infancy. The mother of these children died January 18, 1901, at the age of seventy-six years, and Champness Terry died January 13, 1887, at the age of eighty-six years. He was held in high respect by all who knew him. For eighteen successive years he filled the office of township supervisor, and for several terms he was school director. One of his sons by his first marriage, John H., has large mining interests in Colorado, where he resides, and where he has been honored by election first to the office of probate judge and later to the office of judge of common pleas.

[Editor's note: This differs somewhat from query #361285 and perhaps indicates the relationship between the Short and TERRY families. Alvin C. TERRY has indicated that the marriage for William TERRY is noted in a New Jersey record but have not seen citation [book, page no.] for this. Sometimes his wife is noted to be Rachel Martin also not documented. I don't think it has been proven conclusively that Rachel is the mother of all the children belonging to William. This needs to be documented!]
130386 TERRY HILL PURVIS RODEN
In reference to query page 182, 441285 HILL-PURVIS, Moses Hill lived his entire married life in Fairfield Co. SC and died there in 1821. I wish also to say that Hiram Hill was not a son Of Moses Hill & Savilla Roden. Issac Hill, who Mrs. Purvis states lived in Alabama might be related to this family, but not as a son. Mrs. Purvis also refers to the name of Moses Hill in Warren County Georgia in a book by Maddox "Early Georgia Pioneers." The book indicates Moses Hill did participate in the land lottery, but we have no information to show he lived in Georgia. There is knowledge of a Moses Hill who served in the Revolution in Georgia, but he is not the Moses Hill that married Savilla Roden. Robert R. Hill, 631 S. Echo Dr., Brandon FL 33511.

[I feel the urge to comment here! While a Stephen TERRY is the father of James TERRY #64 above and his brother Roland TERRY as noted in Granville Co. NC and Louisa Co. VA records, I do not think there is documented proof that Stephen TERRY who d. 1769 Craven Co. SC is the same Stephen noted in #128. Further research in Lancaster and Fairfield Dist.'s SC needs to be done to unravel the several Stephen TERRY's who could possibly be THE STEPHEN we are looking for. Key allied family names in unraveling the mystery could be MORRIS, HILL, GLOVER, MITCHELL, STOKES, SEALY, PICKETT,
35
SUTTON, and WALKER in SC, NC and VA. The Thomas 1610 is a new one. Is there something I have missed?--Editor.]
200386 TERRY CHURCH TENCH MALICK
Your listing as TERRY FAMILY HISTORIAN in the May/June 1982 issue of the Genealogical Helper prompts me to enquire if you have information on my TERRY: Edward F. TERRY b. 24 Mar 1857 in NH, possibly on a farm near Concord, NH, son of Exra and Esther (or Lydia) (Church) TERRY. His obituary appeared in the New York Times of May 13, 1924 (p. 21) stating that he died on May 12, leaving a wife Rebecca Allie, formerly of St. Paul MN and a son Ezra David TERRY. His home was given as Riverdale NY -- 217 W. 259th St., The Bronx. The obituary also says that he was the founder in 1895 with Frederick Tench of TERRY & Tench Co., engineers and contractors.

210386 TERRY MOORE PARKER COOPER
In reference to your letter of June 10, 1981 we were right about Moore's and TERRY's being connected. In corres- ponding with Mrs. Sarah Parker, 2505 Savery Dr. Tupelo MS 38801, she tells us that the father of Stephen T. Moore was David Moore who was married to Anna Mariah TERRY. After David's death, she married William D. Cooper and had four children by him: Agrippa Cooper , William Cooper , Joseph Cooper and Sarah Cooper. This info was found in Sarah TERRY's Will d. 1834 Copiah Co. MS. By David Moore, Anna had Stephen T. Moore, John T. Moore and according to Will of Elizabeth Moore. Mrs. John T.

What information does anyone have regarding the old community of Pinckneyville, SC, on the Broad River in Union Co. SC in late 18th and early 19th Centuries? Did anyone ever hear that Eli Terry the clockmaker sold clocks in that area? I am very serious? Equity Court Districts in SC, in 1808 included a Pinckney district in Spartan, Cherokee and Union Counties. Also, who oned Terry's Tan Yard in Chester Co. SC about 1820? The tan yard was south of Chesterville, and just east of Broad River. Also has anyone heard of Terry graves being moved from area of Ft. Jackson, SC when the government enlarged fort? Where interred? Did Stephen Terry, who owned land near Stovall, NC, just south of Virginia line, die there or move to Chester Co. SC ca. 1767? A Stephen Terry, James McClure and Robert Gill owned land near Fishing Creek Meeting House and Saluda Rd. in 1767 per old NC Land grants in SC. Has anyone ever heard that many Southern Terry's were "fighting Quakers?" Who knows anything about Thomas Terry who lived near H. Terry near Anderson SC in 1857? Thomas Terry's children were: Nancy Ann, Eliza Jane, Mary Catherine, Martha Missouri, Warren Jefferson, William Joseph, and Thomas Gideon. They lived near old Asberry Church. [These Paid for by Jo Terry, 1725 Bouldercrest Rd. SE, Atlanta GA 30316.]

Am trying to locate the parents of Mary who married Thomas Terry. Could she be the daughter of David Watts who in 1758 deeded land to his son-in-law Thomas in Fredericksville Parish [VA]?
Also could this Thomas be the son of Champness and Christian of Louisa Co. VA? Thomas' known children were: Mary, Susanna Beasley, wife of Richard Beasley, Thomas who married Nancy Dalton, Champness, Joseph & Nathaniel. There may have been 2 more--who were they? Would like to correspond with anyone working on this line. Will share info that I have.
