COVERING THE TERRY-TORY
by Robert W. Terry
4900 Springdale Road Cincinnati OH 45247
We family tree searchers are occasionally grateful for an unusual given
name bestowed upon a male of the Terry tribe by his parents. These names pop
out at the searcher much quicker than the more common given names and give
rise to the question:
"Is he the one in our ancestry?"
That leads to a more detailed and thorough investigation of available
facts and the ultimate conclusion that the person with the unusual name is,
or is not, important to the search being conducted.
In my case, I'm grateful for one ENOS TERRY, probably the eldest of five
sons of my g.g.g.grandparents, John and Ruth Terry. Their second son was named
REUBEN, again unusual enough to make the searcher pause, but the last three
sons in order were ROBERT (my ancestor), JOHN and WILLIAM; much more difficult
for the searcher to trace.
First mention of ENOS is in "Notes of the Terry Family in the U.S." which
says he was a native of New Jersey, born about 1755. Based on other
2
information, I feel that he was born some time later than that date.
ENOS not only had an unusual name, he had an unusual occupation. A book,
"The Trans-Appalachian Frontier," reveals that he was not a hunter or a
trapper, as many pioneer men were, but a potter. He is said to have fashioned
trenchers, dishes and bowls to trade with the hunters for meat and pelts, in
1780 at Strode's Station, near present Winchester, Ky. He was listed as
present at Strode's during the Indian attack of 1781.
In March, 1782 ENOS is listed as "AMOSS" Terry; in May, 1782 as "ENEAS"
Terry, and in November, 1782 as "ENOUS" Terry, in the Lincoln County, Ky.
militia. Also in the November was his father, JOHN, with both surnames spelled
"TERREE" on that list. (I am curious as to the type of military duty performed
by a potter not familiar with firearms -- could he have been a cook?)
The Madison County, Ky. tax lists of 1787 show ENOS as the owner of one
horse and two cattle. His father, JOHN, is much more affluent with three
horses and 16 cattle. The same county's 1788 tax lists say that both Terrys
had moved to Fayette County.
My conjecture is that the families moved to a location near the Ohio
River opposite Cincinnati in what later became Woodford County, Ky., extending
north to the river at the time it was formed.
JOHN and son ENOS lived close enough to acquire lots in what is downtown
Cincinnati in May, 1789. John received a gift lot from the developers and
bought two other lots. ENOS made news by paying an unheard-of 80 shillings for
a lot at Sixth and Main Streets. Even my ancestor, Robert, then a youth of 18,
bought a lot.
Prior to the Cincinnati move, the name "ENES" Terry appears on a Kentucky
petition in 1785, asking that two additional counties be created from Lincoln
County, the division occurring two months later.
In Cincinnati proper, ENOS was listed with early settlers of the present
Cumminsville community in 1790, but removed with others as the result of
Indian threats. My guess is that he came back to Cincinnati and began to buy
and sell real estate.
In 1794, ENOS gave $2 toward a new Presbyterian church (his own parents
were Baptists); he appraised the oxen and wagon of a man killed by Indians.
Since 1790, ENOS had filed for forfeitures of land in sections whose owners had
not provided for settlement; he received forfeitures in several cases, and
either sold the land or absented himself for another location. On one
occasion, he bought a 100-acre tract and sold it at a profit five weeks later.
By 1803, ENOS was listed among organizing members of the South Bend
Baptist Church formed west of Cincinnati. He had acquired in 1799 the 106-
acres originally forfeited to his father, JOHN, in that community.
ENOS apparently left Cincinnati for Montgomery County, Ohio and by 1808
or 1809, had settled in Darke County, where he afterward became an associate
judge of Common Pleas Court. The "History of Darke County" says that ENOS and
Billy Wilson connived to win designation of their settlement, called
3
Greenville, as the county seat in 1810, but the Ohio Legislature reversed the
selection and re-established the county seat at the old military fort site.
As a judge, ENOS once inflicted unusual punishment on a man convicted of
stealing a watch from a Fort Greenville soldier. ENOS gave him the choice of
40 lashes, OR divesting his clothes and climbing a thorny locust tree at Enos'
home. The outcome has not been recorded.
In Darke County, Enos operated a mill near Greenville which the troops
from the fort dismantled due to Indian dangers. He also operated a tavern.
There is no identification of his first wife, mother of his sons: Nathan,
administrator of ENOS' estate, and John. His second wife was Elizabeth (Hole)
Craig, widow of John Craig, of Montgomery County, and the mother of eleven
children. They were married in 1816.
ENOS died May 1, 1826 at Greenville, Ohio. Because his parents gave him
an unusual name and because he was a colorful character, I owe much of my
success in researching Terrys to him.

NOTES ON TERRY FAMILIES OF
WARREN AND BUTLER COUNTIES KENTUCKY
by
Matilda Adams

Corona CA 91720
I have been to Salt Lake City twice to do research and hired a good
researcher to help me and we could not find my George Washington Terry's
parents. George was born June 1819 in KY and married in Warren Co. KY 1843 to
Sarah Jane Sumpter. He then appears on the 1850 to 1900 Census in Woodbury,
Butler Co. KY. Earnest Terry [of Meridian MS] thinks his parents were William
B. Terry b. 8 Sep 1785 VA and Mary Bean Carter. William was the son of Obadiah
P. Terry and Sarah Day. William died in Harrison Co. KY 12 Mar 1860. We could
not find a will for William or any deeds to tie him to my George. I have quite
a bit on William's family back to Thomas Terry Sr. b. 1732 VA....If you have
any suggestions or places that I should do research please let me know and any
Terry information that I find will forward to you.

NOTES CONCERNING SIMILAR SURNAMES IN ENGLAND AND THE COLONIES
For several years we have wished to make a connection between the Terry
families of Virginia and those of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York.
Notes submitted by Waunita Powell of 407 Elm, Paris IL 61944 have pointed
out some of the similarities re: surnames and the locales that are
associated with certain surnames. Perhaps others will help to put some of
the puzzles together.

EXTRACTS FROM NOTES BY BURTON W. SPEAR
STEPHEN TERRY - Born, 25 Aug. 1608 & baptized, 31 Aug. 1608, Stockton,
Wilts, England. He possibly married (1) Joan Hardy, 19 Mar. 1633, Dorchester,
Mass. sister of John Hardy. She was buried, 5 Jun3 1647., Windsor, Conn. He
married (2) Elizabeth ______, who died about 1683, age 90.

was born about 1555 in Long Sutton, Hampshire and he died, 10 May 1625. He
attended Winchester School in 1572 and graduated from Oxford in 1578 and he
died, 10 May 1625. He attended Winchester School in 1572 and graduated from
Oxford in 1578 B.A. & 1582 M.A. He held strong anti-Roman Catholic opinions

first Constable of Hadley. There he received 9 acres of land and was taxed on
the basis of 200 pounds. He related, somehow to Nathaniel Cooke, of Windsor,
who was named in the will of Stephen's mother, Mary (White) Terry, in England,
who called him nephew. Nathaniel is sometimes mistakenly called the son of
Aaron Cook, of the "Mary & John".

At a general meeting of the inhabitants of the County of Cumberland, in
New Jersey held at Bridge-town, on Thursday, the 22nd day of December, 1774.
The articles of the Association entered into by the American Continental
Congress being publickly read, were unanimously approved of; whereupon it was
resolved, that a committee of thirty-five persons be appointed to carry the
same into execution throughout the county; accordingly the following persons
were chosen: viz.: Abraham Jones, Thomas Maskell, Ephraim Harris, Silas
Newcomb, Ephraim Seely, Daniel Elmore, Jonathan Ayres, Elijah Hand, David
Bowen, and Josuah Brick, Esquires; Messieurs John Wheaton, Benjamin Mulford,
Abijah Holmes, Thomas Brown, Joel Fithian, Daniel Maskell, John Gibbon, Michael

According to Chambers the surname TERRY appears very early in ["Early
Germans in New Jersey] Southold, Long Island which was named after a town of
the same name in Suffolk County, England. Some of these early settlers removed
to Elizabeth, New Jersey.... "The township of Roxbury was formed ...
December 24th, 1740. From it, the present townships of Chester, Washington,
Mt. Olive and also a part of Mendham, Randolph and Roxbury were probably
formed."
Chambers also notes that Richard Terry, from Southold, was the first of
the name in Roxbury. He further states, Richard, of New Jersey, was probably
the great-grandson of the first of the three brothers Richard, Thomas and
Robert TERRY of 1635 fame.

"History of First Baptist Church of Piscataway." I found no Terrys. The
fourth paster was Reune Runyon 1783-1811. A later note gave the first pastor
as John GANO with a footnote that Mr. Gano married a daughter of John STITES,
Esq., Mayor of Elizabethtown, and a ruling elder of the Scotch Plains
Church...later pastor of New York City church for 25 years, retired to KY in

THURSTON-TERRY CONNECTIONS
Submitted by
Joel Terry
7632 Topanga Canyon Blv. Apt. 219
Canoga Park CA 91304
When my father, Carl Anthony Terry, Sr., died several years ago, he left
for me a hard-bound copy of a very interesting book. It had belonged to his
uncle, Edward Anthony Thurston (ref. page 594 copy). As you can see from the
copies, it has become quite fragile.... [The book was published by Mr. Brown
Thurston of Portland Maine in 1892.]
In reference to the copy of page 594 of the Thurston Genealogy, Dr.
Charles Church Terry was my grandfather.... I understand that his marriage to
my grandmother, Cora Belle Thurston, was his second marriage and that he had a
son by his first. He was 52 when my father was born. He died shortly after as
a result of a fencing accident. He had remained agile and enjoyed the sport of
fencing. When very young, I had heard my parents say that there was some
questions as to it being an accident. The only details I remember are that the
tip of his opponent's foil fell off and the foil pierced his mask, entered his
eye and pierced his brain.
Editor's note: This book on Thurston's is very similar to the book by Stephen
Terry of 1887. It is interesting research because several of these TERRY-
THURMOND citations are not found in Stephen Terry's book on Terry Families in
the U.S.

STOKES FAMILY QUARTERLY
Mr. Alton T. Moran, editor of the STOKES FAMILY QUARTERLY, has just sent
the editor his second copy of his quarterly. The January 1987 issue has a
short section on notes concerning STOKES AND ALLIED FAMILIES by none other
than the Editor of the Terry Family Historian. Looks like a good start to me;
it is $12.00 per year and well worth it! Send orders to Mr. Alton T. Moran,

DESCENDANTS ON SHIP "MARY AND JOHN"
If you have descendants who came to America on the "Mary & John" in 1630
you are quite lucky. After six years of researching all the passengers on this
ship, Mr. Burton W. Spear of 5602 305th St., Toledo OH 43611 has published two
books on these descendants. They have pictures of early areas in England, plus
Massachusetts and Connecticut in the United States. Of specific interest to
TERRY-PHILES is Stephen Terry of Dorchester who is one of the few Colonial
American Terry's with a "proven line" from England.
The books are:
Vol. I "Passengers and Their Children" is $13.50
Vol. II "Descendants' Return to Ancestral Homes" is $14.00.
They are very good books and I highly recommend them. Mr. Spears has
indicated he is working on his next book which covers four generations for
each of the passengers on the ship "Mary & John".

Mrs. Emily Hixson P.O. Box 7117, Loma Linda CA 92354 has exhausted her
typed notes entitled "TERRY TRAILS" which is the record of JOHN TERRY, Jr. and
his spouse RUTH, and some of their descendants. John Terry, Jr. died about
1794, Hamilton Co., [Cincinnati area] OH. The Editor has been given permission
to enter it in the computer for sale to interested researchers. However, it
does contain some pictures WHICH CAN ONLY BE XEROXED. The manuscript is 74
pages long and I can xerox it for $9.40 [10 cents per page plus $2.00
postage]. Order from Terry Family Historian, Box 1661, Sapulpa OK 74067-1661.

JAMES TERRY OF TENNESSEE
The editor is pleased to announce Mr. Woodford Terry has published an
excellent accounting of his TERRY descendants. The book, entitled JAMES TERRY
OF TENNESSEE, is hard cover and contains 765 pages including pictures and an
index with almost 13,000 names. There is one chapter on James Terry's
background and other information in Granville County, North Carolina and
Virginia and one chapter on each of his twelve children and their descendants.
Other information includes stories, three old Terry cemeteries and
memorabilia. My favorite story in the book is an account concerning "a barn
door" which hangs in Woodford's den. The cost is $45.00 and the book can be
ordered from Woodford Terry, 111 Wiltshire Drive, Oak Ridge TN 37830.

BEAR TRACKS
The editor recently received a review copy of Nicholas R. Murray's BEAR
TRACKS, it is published quarterly for $10.00 per year and may be ordered from
Mr. Murray at P.O. Box 204, North Salt Lake UT 84054. The name is misleading
as the quarterly covers any surnames and is most noted for their computerized
marriage records.
A note on page 2 of BEAR TRACKS includes information concerning the
passing of Mr. Ray Beeman formerly of Memphis, Tennessee and a correspondent
of several researchers of the Terry Family Historian. Since 1976, Mr. Beeman
shared his information with the editor concerning TERRY-HILL-MORRIS-BEEMAN-
STOKES-JONES connections. Mr. Beeman left, as a legacy to us all, some
splendid work. -- He will be missed.

excellent quarterly. It may be ordered from Cj Stevens, 5323 Heatherstone

well worth the price. In the most recent issue, he cites the TFH as a
"...detailed and meticulous account of the Terry families" and adds .... "For
southern family, this is a good source." Of course we already knew this;
however, coming from Mr. Stevens, this is truly a compliment.

I understand you are the editor of the quarterly on the Terry families.
The past six years I have been studying the passengers of the ship, "Mary &
John" of 1630, including Stephen Terry of Dorchester, Mass., Windsor, Conn. &
Hadley, Mass. I have written two books on the subject and am now preparing a
520 page book, plus index, on the first four generations of the passenger's
descendants. In 1985 over 80 descendants spent 16 days in England and New
England visiting the home towns of the passengers. During the trip I learned
that Stephen Terry married Joan Hardy in 1633 and he returned to New England
on the ship, "Recovery of London".... Burton W. Spear, 5602 305th St., Toledo
