MEMORIAL TO ROBERT TERRY OF CINCINNATI 1913-1987
{Editor's note: Bob Terry wrote "Covering the Terry-Tory"
which appeared in the TFH until his death in 1987. He may
have helped several others working on other than Terry
lines. I am in favor of this project and it would be a
special tribute to Bob.}
The stone for Robert Terry 1770-1862 is in the Pipe Creek Baptist cemetery in Penntown, Indiana. The stone is broken and is being held in place for the photo [not shown]. We have also been informed that the base of the stone has crumbled and no longer supports the stone, which now lays on the ground. If something is not done to repair or replace this stone, eventually it will be removed from the cemetery and the grave will be lost to future generations.

This project was started as a memorial to Robert Ward (Bob) Terry of Cincinnati (1913-1987), who aided so many in their search for their Terry ancestors. Joan Terry, Bob's wife has volunteered to locate someone to do the work on this stone, but nothing can take place until funds for the job are available.
We would appreciate your donation for this project, we have a possible way it can be repaired and hope it can be carried out, if not then it would probably have to be replaced with a smaller stone. Preserving the original is what we hope can be done.
If you will donate to this project please make your check payable to Arta Blonshine and I will be responsible for all donations received by me. I will also acknowledge every one and when the job is done each donor will receive a copy of the paid bill.
If for any reason this project fails, then all donations will be returned with an explanation. Please make your donations as soon as possible so work can start as soon as weather permits.
This stone was very special to R. W. "Bob" Terry and I am sure having it repaired would be the most fitting memorial we could give Bob.
Sincerely,
Arta Blonshine 7706 Maxwell Drive Boise, ID 83704

NOTES ON NATHANIEL TERRY Margie Brown 3005 Phyllmar Oakton VA 22124
I had originally planned to do an article, proving all of the children of Nathaniel TERRY and Sarah ROYALL, and the children of their children, but now I feel we must correct Nathaniel TERRY Jr.'s descent first.
Nathaniel TERRY was born 3 Dec 1755 in Halifax County, Virginia the third son of Nathaniel TERRY and Sarah ROYALL. He married Ann THOMPSON, daughter of William THOMPSON and Rachel COLEMAN. She was born about 1767, as in her pension application she says she is 84 years old in 1859. They married 7 Dec 1784. Nathaniel TERRY died 8 Feb 1837 and his obituary is printed in the National Banner and Nashville Whig 3 Mar 1837.
Ann (Thompson) TERRY died between Feb and Jun 1860. She was 93 years of age at her death. Their children were:
William Thompson TERRY m. Elizabeth WATLINGTON 2 Jul 1806 in Halifax County, Virginia. This couple left 10 provable children. He was born about 1786 and died 22 Nov 1854 in Kentucky. Elizabeth (Watlington) TERRY who was born about 1786 was still alive in the 1870 census in the household of my ancestor Coleman and Lucy H. Jordon TERRY.
5
(Tradition says she was the first burial in the Jordan Cemetery 1879.)
James H. TERRY born about 1802 and died unmarried, 7 Nov 1854. His will is in book H & G, page 350 Logan County, Kentucky.
* Benjamin TERRY born about 1790 married Rebecca STANLEY in Person County, North Carolina, 13 Jun 1813. He was probably the father of the grandchild of James H. S. TERRY who was mentioned in Nathaniel's Will. His mother remarried Robert SHANKLIN in Todd County, Kentucky in 1827. [Proof is in Deed Book E, page 213 Todd County, Kentucky, 19 Nov 1827].
Joseph R. TERRY which we covered in the last issue
{December 1987 TFH} b. 17 May 1792 m (1) 12 Apr 1816 Sarah
David Smith m (2) Cumberland Co. KY 1 Jul 1850 Bethenia
Phelps. I can document four of his children.
Nathaniel Dickerson TERRY born 10 Nov 1794 and died 8 Feb 1861. He married first in Virginia, 23 Mar 1814, Elizabeth LIGON. He married second in Kentucky, 16 Mar 1836, Malvina Ann HAYES. I have this bible record and can prove his children.
Robert Jefferson TERRY born 23 Apr 1800 died 27 Nov 1859 married in Kentucky, 29 Apr 1824, Rebecca Mumford KEESEE. Have his bible, can prove his children.
* Sarah B. TERRY born about 1804, deceased at the time of her father's will, married in Halifax County, Virginia 15 Feb 1819. She was the mother of Walter and Ann T. BOYD mentioned as grandchildren in Nathaniel's will. (Have enclosed proof.]
Lucy H. C. TERRY born about 1807 married first Powhatan TERRY. She had four daughters of this marriage. [Can prove this]. She married second Dr. John CHASTAIN in Logan County, Kentucky, 1847. They had no children. She died after 1880.
* Mary Ann Martha TERRY born about 1810 married only once in 1832 to Lawrence Hall. The other marriage picked up by Edna Bushnell in TERRY RECORDS OF VIRGINIA was a daughter of Johns and Sarah Neal TERRY. A different family. The 1850 Census of Todd County, Kentucky lists four children. Hope you can figure this out okay. The proof is to show that there was no daughter Elizabeth and that there was a deceased son Benjamin. Also, not a previous marriage for Mary Ann Martha Hall.
* This is correcting earlier mistakes.

VIRGINIA NOTES
The following was published in the Virginia Genealogist by J. F. Dorman and was submitted by Elaine Couch, 6848 Sarah St., Temperance MI 48182. It is interesting because it names several Terrys and allied families. --- Editor.
O o o O o o O
THOMAS TERRY. 31.15.5, 1775, Petersburg Store. He lives in Pittsylvania. His circumstances are rather doubtful but it is believed his estate is sufficient for the payment of his debts. No steps have been taken to compel payment and the justice is not admitted. Source: British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 25, #1, Jan-March 1981 The Virginia Genealogist page 34 by John Frederick Dorman.
JOSEPH TERRY. 0.13.10, Pittsylvania Store. There is one Joseph TERRY who lives in Pittsylvania and who is very able but he not the debtor. Another man of that name died many years since and left estate sufficient and Beverly Barksdale administered on his estate and gave good security. The estate is now divided but still the executor and his security would be liable for any debt which could be properly ascertained. The justice of the debt is not admitted. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 25, #1, Jan-March 1981 The Virginia Genealogist page 42 by John Frederick Dorman.
WILLIAM TERRY. 6.11.7, 16 April 1774, Pittsylvania Store. He removed many years since to South Carolina and is said to be insolvent. His circumstances were doubtful at the conclusion of the war. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 25, #1, Jan-March 1981 The Virginia Genealogist page 46 by John Frederick Dorman.
JOSEPH TERRY. 1.1.8, Halifax Store. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 25, #1, Jan-March 1981 The Virginia Genealogist page 116 by John Frederick Dorman.
O o o O o o O
WILLIAM TERRY. He denies the account is just. His estate is fully sufficient to satisfy.
OLIVER TERRY. He died in North Carolina with estate sufficient to satisfy all creditors. It is unknown in what North Carolina county he lived, but probably Caswell.
PETER TERRY. He is able to discharge the claim against him.
7
MOSES TERRY. He died in Georgia insolvent. Whether he was insolvent at the close of the war is unknown.
NATHANIEL TERRY. He is solvent.
COL. NATHANIEL TERRY. He died in March 1780 possessed of sufficient estate to satisfy the debt. His son WILLIAM TERRY qualified as executor on the state and it is now sufficient to discharge the claim. The store was kept by John Calder, factor for Alexr. Spiers, John Bowman & Co., and special contract was made by Calder and Nathaniel TERRY relative to the store houses &c where the debt was contracted. TERRY was to build the store houses and board the store keepers seven years, for which he was to receive L100 per annum. A considerable part of the claim was for articles used in building the houses. The Company had the use of the houses as long as they continued in that country but the store keepers did not continue to board with Terry more than two years. The houses since the departure of Alexr. Spiers, John Bowman & Co. have been of little or no use to Terry or his family. Terry always claimed a credit on account of the contract which has not been allowed him. The executor lives in Halifax County. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 26, #3, July - September 1982 The Virginia Genealogist page 202 by John Frederick Dorman.
MOSES TERRY. 32.0.0 1/4. Halifax Store. He was insolvent at the conclusion of the war and has been so ever since. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 26, #3, July - September 1982 The Virginia Genealogist page 202 by John Frederick Dorman.
DAVID TERRY. 2.16.10 1/2. He died solvent in Pittsylvania. His estate is very sufficient to pay all his debts. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 26, #3, July - September 1982 The Virginia Genealogist page 204 by John Frederick Dorman.
THOMAS BUCKINGHAM. 2.12.9. Died in Tennessee in very good Circumstances. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 26, #4, Oct - Dec 1982 The Virginia Genealogist page 288 by John Frederick Dorman.
JAMES DANIEL SENR. 0.15.5. Dead. He was always insolvent and died so.
JAMES DANIEL (son of Richard and Agness (TERRY?) d/o Daniel and Christian?) 68.11.7 1/2. Died before the conclusion of the war. He was possessed of a small estate but not sufficient to satisfy the debt.
WILLIAM DANIEL. 3.0.8. Was insolvent in 1783. Since that he has removed from Halifax, unknown where.
8
TERRY DANIEL. 12.5.4 1/2. Lately died solvent. He was always so to the time of his death. David Daniel is his executor and is possessed of sufficient estate to satisfy the debt.
WILLIAM DANIEL. 40.4.8 1/4. Is now and always has been solvent. He lives in Rockingham Co. North Carolina.
RICHARD DANIEL SENR. 75.6.6. Died before the conclusion of the war, solvent. His estate is now divided among his several children.
JAMES HILL. 1134.1.8 1/2. Died before 1783 solvent. JOSEPH TERRY in right of his wife Sarah has administered on his estate. British Mercantile Claims _ 1775 to 1803 noted in Vol. 26, #4, Oct - Dec 1982 The Virginia Genealogist page 291 by John Frederick Dorman.
RICHARD DANIEL dec`d. 7.2.7. Died before 1783., solvent.
JAMES DANIEL Jnr. 6.3.10 1/2. Was insolvent in 1783.
O o o O o o O
CHARLES BIBB. Louisa Store. Now lives in Louisa, a very poor man. There has been but little variation in his residence and circumstances from some period before the peace til the present. He lives in a cabin which I have lately seen on the side of the road where he keeps a tippling house which seems to be his only means of support.
WILLIAM HENRY, Fluvanna. 30.11.3 1/2. Richmond Store. He died in Fluvanna during the war. He left a very good estate and the widow but no child. His brother Patrick Henry administered on his estate and died last year in Charlotte County. The estate was distributed between the widow and next of kin during the war and before the peace the widow removed to Bedford County where she married _______ Holt.
THOMAS KEY, Albemarle. 32.13.5 3/4, open account, Richmond store. He moved to Georgia about the commencement of the war in very good circumstances. About eight years ago he was inspector of tobacco in the town of Augusta and was reputed to be solvent.
REBECCA BURTON, Fluvanna. 29.2.9 3/4, open account, Albemarle Store. There were two persons of this name at the time this debt was contracted, Rebecca Burton, widow of Wm. Burton, and Rebecca Burton, one of his daughters. The widow married Michael Thomas of Albemarle County and is since dead and her husband Michael Thomas has become insolvent since the peace. The daughter married George Thompson with whom she removed to Kentucky about 1791. They carried with them a large estate. They now live near Danville, still reputed solvent. In the remarks of the creditor it is said Rebecca
9
Burton married William Henry but it is a mistake; he married Polly Burton.

Notes from Arlene Terry 6434 Larsen Lane Shawnee KS 66203
I might have found our John M. Terry in 1850 Illinois Census in Hancock Co.
Timothy TERRY 52 CAN Elizabeth 37 ENG John M. 16 CAN Sarah R. 14 CAN George T. 12 CAN Ellen E. 10 IL Richard S. 6 IL Eliza E. 1 IL
Our John M. states in Missouri Census in 1900, he came to Illinois in 1838. Timothy is still in same place in Illinois 1880 Census. He states his parents both born in Canada.
Also in 1880 Illinois Census I believe this is Timothy's son. He lives in Hancock County, born in Canada and age fits. I was interested in his children's names.
George T. TERRY 42 CAN CAN IRE Elizabeth A. 33 IL ENG ENG Benjamin F. 10 Parshall P. 4 Alice E. 2 Lucy 2/12
I have information back to Richard b. 1618. Also "Loyalists in Ontario". Parshall Terry 1756 m. Rhoda Skinner lists a Timothy. Have yet to prove this line.
I am still wondering about our dad's story that: John M. Terry came from Canada to Illinois with two brothers. Brothers went with a mormon leader to Salt Lake, Utah. John came to Fairport, Missouri.

TERRY FAMILY REUNION -- ALABAMA REUNION
To let you know our Governor Hunt is planning Alabama Home Coming for next year -- Maybe we can really have a BIG reunion in Lawrence County!! Wouldn't it be great to meet everyone!
Do you know anyone doing research in Franklin County Alabama on the Terrys? It adjoins Lawrence Co. AL and in Annals of N.W. Alabama Vol. III page 174 it lists 5 Terrys for 1830 Census among the 5 is Sarah aged over 100 -- in house by herself but same page as Jesse +30 and Moses +50. I don't think these are mine but be glad to pass info onto interested person. Juyne T. Lee, Rt. 2, Box 517, Killen AL 35645. O o o O o o O
KENTUCKY TERRY FAMILY
I received a letter from Mrs. Louis S. Sipple 1354 Clermontville Laurel Rd., New Richmond OH 45157 indicating they had done a narrative type newsletter on Terry a family. In her newsletter she indicates her William Terry settled in Harrison County KY 1810 and his wife was Polly ________. Their children were William, Obe, John, James, Thomas, Lewis and Sarah Terry. The genealogy was researched by the following persons:
Mrs. Helen B. Sorrell, 439 East Pike St., Cynthiana KY 41031 Mrs. Vivian T. Marx, P.O. Box 126, Cynthiana, KY 41031. Mrs. Louis Sipple, 1354 Clermontville, Laurel Rd., New Richmond OH 45157.
I thought I had seen most Terry families in Kentucky but this is a new one. William Mills Terry the first son was born 10 Feb 1817 of Harrison Co. KY and d 20 Feb 1890 bur. Battle Grove, Cynthiana, KY. He m (1) Mrs. Elizabeth (Muscelman) Lemmons 22 Dec 1863 m (2) Mary (Molly) A. Hedgers 19 Mar 1874.
I looked at the Kentucky Marriages I have and there does not seem to be a match. One son, John Terry, appears in later records of Hillsborough, Hill Co. TX according to a note by TFH member Ralph Terry of Coleman, TX. Perhaps he may have some leads on this family. Does anyone have a lead on this
13
family? The items in the newsletter contained several generations past these children but did not pertain to Terrys directly. Would share the information with those interested. --- The Editor.

I am not sure who Morgan Green Terry's father was, but I think it was Aaron B. TERRY from VA b 7 Dec 1783 d 15 Feb 1873. I have not been able to prove that Aaron was Morgan Green's father.
Morgan Green TERRY's wife died while they were in Kentucky. I have seen this grave and visited several cemeteries in this area the last couple of weeks. After she died, Morgan Green TERRY moved to Shawnee, OK. I understand he is buried near that area. My grandfather John W. TERRY lived in McCloud and is buried in Shawnee.
P.S. I was born and raised in Tulsa. My mother used to operate Terry's Old Book Store, 6 N. Main, Tulsa. It has now been torn down.

Dear Mr. Terry,
Have seen your ad's in the Genealogical Helper Magazine many times and have decided to take a chance and write to you about a little problem I have. It concerns an unknown TERRY who married a Ceriah or Seriah or Cheriah DAVIS, daughter of Richard DAVIS. Richard seems to have lived either all or most of his life in Caroline Co. VA but lucky for me he went to Granville Co. N.C. where he died and left a will. (Had he died in Caroline Co. no will would exist
19
today). He died in Oct. 1761 and Ceriah was already married but her husbands Christian name is not mentioned.
With you being a TERRY Historian I am hoping you have run across this group and can perhaps help me out. My main interest is the DAVIS line but I would like to know who the daughters married.
As son of Richard DAVIS, Absolom, named a daughter Chiriah and a son Joseph Terry DAVIS. This might be a clue but I haven't been able to find anything conclusive.
If you can help me out, I would very much appreciate the information.
Sincerely,
Leslie Watson
[1] Jay, This is a copy of the letter from Mrs. Watson. I think it is significant because of the inability to read the signature of the 14th child's name in Richard DAVIS's will and the mention of Augustine's child as Joseph Terry DAVIS.

I have my line one Mary (Polly) Terry whose marriage bond is dated 8 Apr 1819 Stephen Yates in Pittsylvania Co. VA. The bond was between Stephen Yates and David Terry and was for his intermarriage with Polly Terry. I have located them in the 1850 census, that saying that Mary was 50, indicating a birth of about 1800. However, I located a book published by Betha P. (Yeatts) Faust on the Yates Family History. On page 172, I quote relating to marriages: "Jan 5, 1799 David Terry and Littica Nash, Bondsman Tarpley Yeats, Parents John and Anna Nash (Their daughter Polly (Mary) Terry married Stephen Yates 8 Apr 1819)". She further states in her book that Mary Terry was born 1 Dec 1796 and died 29 July 1876. This not only conflicts with the census data, but also would indicate illegitimacy. I would appreciate any help you can give. Sue Anne Buck Stice, P.O. Box 774196, Eagle River AK 99577.
