Parshall Terry Family History compiled and distributed 1956 Reprinted - 1963 by Mr. and Mrs. Terry Lund, 2490 South 5th East, Salt Lake City, Utah from notes on page 5:
There were five distinct families of Terry's among the pioneers of Utah. Our family consisting of Parshall Terry, his four sons, and two nephews, arrived as follows:
Parshall Peter Terry 1847 (First Company) Joshua Terry 1847 (Second Company) Parshall Terry 1849 James Parshall Terry 1849 Joel Terry 1848-1851 Jacob Er Terry 1852 George Thompson Terry 1898-1901
The four other families who came as pioneers were:
Thomas Sirls Terry, who came in 1847, and later went to Southern Utah, settling in Enterprise. (This is the grandfather of Terry Lund, husband of Nora Lund, your historian.)
Ottis L. Terry arrived in 1850. He settled in San Pete.
Charles A. Terry came in 1850 and later settled in St. George.
One branch of his family headed by William A. Terry, settled in Alpine.
William R. Terry came in 1852. He was captain of the Company. He settled at Draper. (Note: I believe Thomas Sirls Terry is the descendant with whom the book is connected. I am not certain if there is an earlier connection with the family of Parshall Terry. --Editor.)

COVERING THE TERRY-TORY
by Robert W. Terry of Cincinnati OH
Gray's "Elegy in a Country Churchyard" contains a couplet, that, trusting to memory, goes like this:
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its fragrance on the desert air."
Running a little late with my quarterly contribution to the Terry Family Historian, I just wondered whether the many readers of this publication realize the enormous amount of time-consuming effort that goes into the task.
There were, are, and will be countless members of the Terry clan born to blush unseen but that will not be said of the editor and associate editor of the TFH, "Mike" and Debbie Terry. All of us who bear the name or connected with it owe great thanks to them for the publication now in its third volume. Their effort has to be a "labor of love" from which the accrued rewards are not measured in dollars and cents.
If Mike and Debbie were paid at the minimum hourly wage for their work on the TFH, we readers would be paying a sizable multiple of the subscription price.
This is just my way of offering "congratulations" to them with the pledge that I shall be more alert to correspond with members of the Terry clan whose lineage may link with mine.
My circle of friends has been enlarged over the years with persons of Terry descent, many of them regular correspondents and others whose mutual interest has involved traveling to see whether the other person fit the "Terry" mold -- we all agree that hard-headedness runs in the family, but match the criticism with virtues of intelligence and wit.
Be glad that we are not trying to trace any of the more common surnames, such as Smith, Jones, Brown, Johnson. Mike and Debbie have furnished us with a sounding board through which we can concentrate on a surname not as common, although the Terrys among the colonials in this country accounted for a much higher percentage of the population.
Readers of the TFH are members of an exclusive group, and I, for one, want to continue searching each issue for new connections to my own line.
Join me in thanking Mike and Debbie for making the search possible.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks for all the kind words Bob. I should like to mention that Bob has not missed sending in an article for each issue since the first.-- We do have BROWN AND SMITH LINES! * * * * *
BRIEF SKETCH OF THOMAS TERRY Compiled by Francis Richmond Sears Submitted by Susan C. Terry of Brattleboro VT 05301
It is not known when or where he was born, and his parents are also unknown. That he is not Thomas Terry who came from England in the JAMES in 1635 is certainly clear since that individual was a founder of Southold, L. I., in 1640, a freeman of Connecticut in 1662, and died in 1672. The Thomas Terry of this paper was residing on Block Island in 1662, and was living as late as 1691 at least. The Thomas Terry of the JAMES was born in 1607, but our Thomas Terry had children born from 1678 on for several years when the passenger on the JAMES would have been seventy odd years of age. These facts are conclusive proof that these two individuals are not the same man.
Our Thomas Terry is first mentioned when, called "of Braintree", he was present at the home of Dr. John Alcock in Roxbury, Massachusetts on August 17, 1660 at a conference concerning the purchase of Block Island. He was one of the six men who built a barque for the transporting of cattle to the said Block Island. In April, 1661 he left Braintree with others for Block Island, stopping at Taunton, Massachusetts. It was probably in the spring of 1662 that this band of persons left Taunton and took up their residence at Block Island. In 1662, the population of Block Island is stated to have been 30 whites and 400 Indians. In 1665 Thomas Terry was representative from Block Island in the Rhode Island General Assembly. He received the 10th and 11th lots in the northern part of the island and the 4th and 5th lots in the western part of the island. (See Rev. S. T. Livermore's HISTORY OF BLOCK ISLAND, pages 296-306.
From Jan. 13, 1662/3 to June 13, 1678 he continued to reside on Block Island. (See Rhode Island Land Evidence-Printed-I/161-162-23 and New Shoreham Records I/463-69)
As early as May 20, 1679 he was of Taunton, Massachusetts on which date he deeded 420 acres of Block Island land. (New Shoreham Records I/69).
On Jan. 25, 1683 his wife Anne Terry signed a deed with him. (Rhode Island Land Enidence-Printed-I/183)
From May 20, 1679 to July 15, 1691 we find several deeds showing that he lived at Tauton and Freetown during this period. (See Bristol County Deeds 2/358; 1/221; 2/360; 1/209; 2/359) July 15, 1691 is the last known date on which we find him alive. [Please see my note next page re: Will of Thomas Terry.]
He died probably shortly after July 15, 1691 and probably before 1693. He was selectman of Freetown in 1685-1689-1690. He was commissioned Lieutenant on June 4, 1686 and was a representative to the General Court in 1689.
Thomas Terry married Anne (Rogers) Tisdale about 1678. Anne Rogers was born about 1642, the daughter of John2Rogers (Thomas1 Rogers of the MAYFLOWER) and Ann2 Churchman (Hugh1 Churchman). On Nov. 23, 1664 Ann Rogers married (1) John Tisdale who was born in 1642, the son of John and Sarah (Walker) Tisdale. John Tisdale died "about the last of December", 1677. (See MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS V/205; Mayflower Index II/619; Bristol County Deeds IV/404).
There is no settlement of the estate of Thomas Terry in Bristol County. His wife survived him and married (3) Samuel Williams of Taunton, who was born in 1637/38, the son of Richard and Frances (Dighton) Williams of Taunton. Samuel Williams died in August, 1697 leaving his wife, Anna (Rogers) (Tisdale) (Terry) Williams surviving him. And she was living as late as July 4, 1710.
Anne Rogers had four children by her first husband, John Tisdale; and three children by her second husband, Thomas Terry; she had no children by her third husband, Samuel Williams. All seven children of Anne Rogers are great grandchildren of THOMAS ROGERS OF THE MAYFLOWER. Anne Rogers was the grandaughter of Thomas Rogers through his son, John Rogers. Thus, all the descendants of Thomas Terry are MAYFLOWER descendants. [I also descend from three other lines.] Children of Thomas and Anne Terry:
1. Thomas Terry b. 14 Jul 1681 d. ca. Jun 1757 m. 4 Jan 1700 Abigail Dean b. Taunton MA 16 Nov 1680 , dau. of Isaac2 Dean (John1 Dean) and his wife, Hannah Leonard (James1). Children: Thomas Terry (died unm.), Abiel Terry.
2. John Terry b. bf. 14 Jul 1681 d. bf. 1716 m. 3 Apr 1705 Remember Farrow b. Hingham MA 3 Feb 1682/83 d. 1719, She remarried before 1716. She was the dau. of John2 Farrow (John1) and his wife, Mary Hilliard. Children: John Terry and Silas Terry.
3. Benjamin Terry b. aft. 1683 d. ca Mar 1773. m. (1) 1710/11 Joanna Spurr, dau. of John2 Spurr (Robert1) and his wife Mary Hoar. Children of first wife: Robert Terry, Benjamin Terry, John Terry and Mary Terry. He m. (2) ca 1722/23 Margaret Holloway, the daughter of Nathaniel3 Holloway (Samuel2, William1) and Deliverance2 Babbitt (Edward1 Bobet). Children by second wife: George Terry, Joanna Terry, Lydia Terry, Phebe Terry, William Terry, Margaret Terry, Solomon Terry, Merriam Terry, Sarah Terry and Dinah Terry.
Note: There is no record of any other children except these three sons, Thomas Terry, John Terry and Benjamin Terry. Bristol County Deeds IV/104 gives proof of these three children when their father's land is divided. Since no other children are mentioned in this deed, it appears that there were no others.
Added Comments by Susan C. Terry: I have to agree with Mr. Sears that my Thomas is not the one who came over with brothers Richard Terry and Robert Terry on the JAMES, although there are sources who assume they are one in the same e.g., Savage.
Thomas Terry did leave a Will dated 10 Aug 1691 but it was refused probate 30 Oct 1691 for lack of his signature. The document mentions land at Lyne and Quinelbarg?, Connecticutt and Long Island and Rye, New York as well as his Freetown, Massachusetts property....I have some interesting stories handed down about Thomas1 Terry on Block Island. [See next story--Editor.]

THOMAS TERRY
[Taken from the History of Block Island, Rhode Island, from Its Discovery in 1514 to 1876, by Rev. S. T. Livermore, A. M. Published 1877.
No one, perhaps, took a more active part than Thomas Terry in the settlement and improving of Block Island during his short residence here. He seems to have been a man of very different bearing from the high-toned statesman-like Capt. James Sands, and more quiet, even-tempered, moral Simon Ray. Mr. Terry had great self-possession, shrewdness, and withal a daring unexcelled by the bravest. Thus in these three men we find the little Block Island colony of sixteen families favored with the three important characters of statesman, moralist, and hero. That Thomas Terry was the latter none can doubt who properly estimate the few incidents of his life that we are able to gather.
He was present at the house of Dr. John Alcock in Roxbury, Mass., the 17th of August 1660, "then and there to confer about" the purchase of Block Island. He was from Braintree, Mass., and was one of the six who built a "barque for the transporting of cattle to said island for the settlement thereof", and in April, 1661, left Braintree with others for Block Island, stopping on their way at Taunton.
In May, 1664, he, with James Sands. Petitioned the Court of Rhode Island for the admission of the Islanders as freemen of the colony, and in response was appointed by said court to proceed with Mr. Sands to inaugurate the first steps of civil government on the Island, and they did accordingly. At the same time Mr. Terry was admitted freeman of the colony. In 1665, as representative from Block Island in the Rhode Island General Assembly, he was intimately associated with Roger Williams, John Clark, and other distinguished persons. During the year he petitioned the Assembly for assistance in building a harbor on the Island, and thus secured a visit of inspection from a committee consis- ting of Governor Benedict Arnold, Deputy-Governor William Brenton, and Mr. John Clark. In 1670 Mr. Terry presented a similar petition. In 1672, he was one of the foremost in obtaining a charter for the Island to become a township.
His one-sixteenth of the land here purchased was located in different parcels, the largest two of which were the extreme south end of the Island, extending from the east to the west shore, and the narrowest part of the Neck embracing Indian Head Neck. On the northerly part of the latter his house was located. He seems to have been quite forward in making slaves of the Indians, for as early as 1669, six of Indian slaves escaped from him and caused considerable trouble in the colony. Mr. Terry wrote to Francis Lovelace, then governor of New York, concerning these six Indians, and said governor wrote to Governor Arnold, of Rhode Island, about the matter as follows: "Mr. Thomas Terry of Block Island, informs mee that hee hath had six Indyans servants run away from him, which Ninicraft (Chief of the Narragansetts) protects and keepes, though none of his Indians. I think you may do well to admonish him of it, and that hee ought not to doe the least injury to the English under whose protection he lives, without giving satisfaction for it. It may be by his answer you may judge of his intent."
The substance of the above the governor of Rhode Island, by an interpreter, communicated to Ninicraft, a very artful chief, who replied "that he had had a great deal of trouble about these servants, and that he did receive an order about them from Mr. Benton in the winter time, when the snow was knee-deep; and that then he did send out to look, but could not find them, and that he did order them often-times to return to their master; but they did run away, some to Connecticott, and some to the Massachusetts. That Thomas Terry had done very badly with him in the business, and caused him a great deal of trouble; that once an old man, one of his Indians, did complain to him that Thomas Terry had taken two children out of his house by force, which were now grown young men, and were two of the six that Thomas Terry did now demand; and that he did advise the said Indian to complain to the Governor against him; that he might hear them both; further, he saith that yesterday he met one of the four Indians that were brought to Thomas Terry upon Quononicutt, and did intend to have brought him over with him, and did bring him some part of the way; but he run from him, and that he would have had the English there to have got on horse-back and rid after him, but they said it was no matter. He also said if Thomas Terry had not intended to have taken away my life, he might as well have informed you that I, being at a dance on Block Island about three or four years since, I seeing a servant of his there, sent him home to him, to his house; but the next morning the said servant came again, and I sent him to his house again; and he returning, I sent him back again the third time. This I believe he did not acquaint you with, although there are several witnesses that can testify to the truth thereof."
The above transactions not only give us a glimpse of personal characters, and of those peculiar times, but they also point to the cause and mode of exterminating the Indians of Block Island. Slavery was the cause, and running away was the mode, evidently. Mr. Terry seems to have been more familiar than any of his fellow citizens with the language and habits of the Indians. He conversed with them in their own tongue, and knew well how to take advantage of their ignorance, and how to manage their passions. Amidst the greatest perils he was master of the situation. The following incident given by his friend Rev. Samuel Niles is in point. At the time referred to, the Indians on the Island were but about twenty to one of the settlers, and they had become so turbulent that the women and children of the latter were collected at the Sands' Garrison, and a close eye was kept upon the savages. Says Mr. Niles: "They therefore kept a very watchful eye on them, especially when they had got a considerable quantity of rum among them and they got drunk, as is common with them, and then they are ready for mischief. Once when they had a large keg of rum, and it was feared by the English what might be the consequence, Mr. Thomas Terry, then an inhabitant there, the father of the present Colonel Terry, Esq., of Freetown, who had gained the Indian tongue, went to treat with them as they were gathered together on a hill that had a long descent to the bottom; (Beacon Hill?) where he found their keg or cask of rum, with the bung out, and began to inquire of them who had supplied them with it. They told him Mr. Arnold, who was a trader on Block Island. Upon which he endeavored to undervalue him and prejudice their minds against him; and in their cups they soon pretended that they cared as little for Mr. Arnold as he did. He told them that if they spake the truth they should prove it, (which is customary among them) and the proof he directed was, to kick their keg of rum, and say, Tuckisha Mr. Arnold! The English is, 'I don't care for you Mr. Arnold': which one of them presently did, and with his kick rolled it down the hill, the bung being open, as was said, and by the time it came to the bottom the rum had all run out. By this stratagem the English were made easy for this time."
Another account of Mr. Terry's tact and bravery is given by Mr. Niles, which helps us also to understand some of the trials of the first settlers. He says:
"Another instance of the remarkable interposition of Providence in the preservation of these few English people in the midst of a great company of Indians. The attempt was strange, and not easily to be accounted for, and the event was as strange."
"The Indians renewing their insults, with threatening speeches, and offering smaller abuses, the English fearing the consequences, resolved, these sixteen men and one boy, to make a formal challenge to fight this great company of Indians, near, or full out three hundred, in open pitched battle, and appointed the day for this effort. Accordingly, when the day came, the fore- mentioned Mr. Terry, living on a neck of land remote from the other English inhabitants, just as he was coming out of his house in order to meet them, saw thirty Indians, with their guns, very bright, as though they were fitted for war. He inquired from whence they came. They replied, from Narragansett, and that they were Ninicraft's men. He asked their business. They said, to see their relations and friends. And for what reason they brought their guns? They replied, because they knew not what game they might meet with in their way. He told them that they must not carry their guns any farther, but deliver them to him; and when they returned, he would deliver them back to them safely. To which they consented, and he secured them in house, and withal told them they must stay there until he had got past the fort; as he was to go by it within gunshot over a narrow beach between two ponds. The Indians accordingly all sat down very quietly, but stayed not long after him; for he had no sooner passed the fort but the Indians made their appearance on a hill, in a small neck of land called by the English Indian-head-neck. And the reason of its being so called was, because when the English came there they found two Indian's heads stuck upon poles standing there. Whether they were traitors, or captives, I know not. When they at the fort saw those thirty Indians that followed Mr. Terry, they made a mighty shout; but Mr. Terry had, as I observed, but just passed by it.
"However, the English, as few as they were, resolved to pursue their design, and accordingly marched with their drum beating up a challenge (their drummer was Mr. Kent, after of Swansey), and advanced within gunshot of it, as far as the water would admit them, as it was on an island in a pond near to, and in plain sight of the place of my nativity. Thither they came with utmost resolution, and warlike courage, and magnanimity, standing the Indians to answer their challenge. Their drummer being a very active and sprightly man, and skillful in the business, that drum, under the over-ruling power of Providence, was the best piece of their armor. The Indians were dispirited to that degree that they made no motions against them. The English after inquired of them the reason of their refusing to fight with them, when they had so openly and near their fort made them such a challenge; they declared that the sound of the drum terrified them to that degree that they were afraid to come against them. From this time the Indians became friendly to the English, and ever after."
The above occurrence passed entirely from the knowledge of the Islanders, so that it was news to every one of them when related by the writer in his centennial address to them on the Fourth of July, 1876. So imperfect is tradition, without a written record.
That Mr. Terry was more than an ordinary man it is easy to see from the foregoing. His coolness and nerve were exhibited in starting from his house alone to walk within arrow-shot of the enemy's fort to join his comrades. His presence of mind and wonderful courage were demonstrated in boldly, single- handed, facing thirty strange Indians armed with new guns. His daring and magic power were unexcelled by Ethan Allen at Fort Ticonderoga. See him, in an open field commanding thirty strange savages armed for battle! Behold him confronting the whole band, and disarming them one by one, and before their faces carrying their guns into his house! Hear him then ordering them to stay just where they were until he had passed the fort and joined his comrades! By this strategy he kept them out of the sight of the Indians in the fort until he was beyond the reach of their guns and arrows. At the same time his mind must have been upon the battle of himself and sixteen companions, with three hundred Indians now reenforced by thirty more. His heroism that day will bear comparison with any upon the pages of history, and he and his few associates were no less tried and daring than were Leonidas and his followers. The story of Mr. Terry to his fellow-Islanders, acquainting them of his power over the thirty whom he had just disarmed, infused, doubtless, his own spirit into them. We can imagine him in consultation with Mr. Sands, Mr. Ray, Mr. Rathbone, and others, and as he was familiar with the Indian language he understood their temper better than others, and they probably agreed with him that a show of courage was their greatest weapon. "Drum for your life" was probably the only music that inspired Mr. Kent, the drummer, and the beating of his drum helped the little isolated band to march the more boldly within "gunshot" of the enemy whose barbarity was striking terror to the English throughout the country.
A short distance form this fort was another scene which no pen has described, and none could portray. There in the Sands' Garrison, at the foot of the hill just below the mill-pond, and on the easterly side of the outlet, were hearts of wives, mothers, and children throbbing with anxiety over the issues of the day. Prayers, sighs, tears, and crying were there sadly commingled, until they were exchanged for rejoicing over the friendly hand shaken by Thomas Terry and others with the Indians of Block Island.
It is not so probable that the Indians told a true story when they said: "The sound of the drum terrified them to that degree that they were afraid to come against" the white men, as it is that the thirty new comers, direct from Ninicraft their chief, informed them of the punishments inflicted by the whites upon the hostile tribes on the main-land. Moreover, Ninicraft may have sent them word to be at peace with the Islanders lest he should become involved in a war with the colonies, a disaster which he studiously avoided while his neighboring tribes were being exterminated.
The locality of Thomas Terry's heroism is easily identified. The Indian fort was on Fort Island, an elevated plat about five acres, now belonging to Mr. Samuel Mott, and in a pond a little south of the Great Pond. These two ponds are separated by a narrow neck of sand over which the road now passes, and that neck is the "narrow beach between two ponds" in Mr. Niles' account quoted above. From this "beach" the road passes up the hill upon Indian-Head- Neck, on the northerly part of which was Mr. Terry's residence, said by Mr. Niles to be "remote from the other English inhabitants", as none then lived upon the Corn Neck, but about the central and westerly parts of the Island. The place of rendezvous for the heroic sixteen and a boy, was probably in the vicinity of Mr. Samuel Mott's residence, as Mr. Terry had to go there to join his comrades. The earthworks of the fort have all been leveled down, and the writer has been able to find no relics of it except some small pieces of rude pottery, although in former years the plow frequently brought to light there various evidences of Indian warfare.
Lieutenant Terry did not remain many years upon Block Island, but removed to Freetown, Mass., near Fall River, and there spent the remainder of his days. His military abilities were there appreciated. He was elected selectman of the town in 1685-6-9-70, and 1700; "was made a deputy to the court at Plymouth in 1689, and 1690; and to the Council of War in 1690;" and in proof of the confidence in his bravery he was honored in 1686 "with the rank and commission of a Lieutenant, empowered to command all the militia of the town.". (Gen. E. W. Peirce.)
It is evident from the traits of character seen in him that he was a born hero, and only needed the occasion and circumstances to have taken rank with the ed near his house on Bryant's Neck. As long as Block Island has descendants from the first settlers, so long will memory owe a debt of gratitude to the name of Lieut. Thomas Terry for his tactics and heroism in subduing the hostile Indians that threatened to exterminate the little pilgrim colony of early settlers.
Mr. Terry's descendants are still living in Freetown. He left there three sons, Thomas, John and Benjamin. Thomas, like his father, became a lieutenant of the town militia, in 1715; representative to the General Court in 1725; assessor, selectman more than twenty years, and in 1757 was the first justice of the peace elected in Freetown, and was known as "Justice Terry". The maiden name of his widow was Anna Williams.*

OUR FAMILY RECORD:
RECORD OF JAMES LAWRENCE TERRY - SON OF JAMES TERRY, WHO WAS A SON OF STEPHEN TERRY
Introduction - Explanatory
The fact that your mother and I came to this country, Iowa, forty years ago, leaving all our relatives behind us, and have to this day been separated from them, so that our children could learn nothing of their family history by association with them, makes it necessary for me to give them such information as I have on that subject, and just here I will state that I feel myself very inadequate to the task I have assumed.
The Terry Family originally emigrated from England about the year 1635, and settled in the colony of Virginia; and from thence scattered into the various colonies then being settled.
My grandmother on my father's side gave me about all the information I have about her husbands people. She said there were seven brothers of them that came from England together and that all of the name that she had known traced their ancestry back to them.
The family were quite numerous in Virginia, and she used to speak with pride and say, that she never heard of one of the name that was hung, or in the penitentiary, or of being a thief. They were loyal to the flag of their country, and fought gallantly in the Revolution and War of 1812.
My Grandfather Terry's name was Stephen. He was born in Louisa County, Virginia, about the year of 1758, and enlisted as a soldier in the Revolution when about seventeen years old. Was shot through the body at the battle of Brandywine, August 11th, 1777, when about eighteen years old. He lived however until he was about sixty years old. He died August 1820. I can just remember seeing him. He acquired considerable property, and was considered a well-to-do farmer. He was a very fine looking old gentleman. He moved from Virginia to Kentucky in 1809, or 10, and settled in Todd County, about three miles northwest from Nashville. Here he lived until his death.
He married a lady by the name of Mildred Bagby, about the year of 1781 or 82.
Of her family I know but little, only that she told me that all of her brothers but one were in the Revolutionary War. Her youngest brother, John Bagby moved to Barren County, Ky. I was at his house at various times during the years 1836 and 37, first in 1831. He was a fine looking old man. Had a large farm and a good many slaves. The family were originally from England, and settled in the colony of Virginia, but at what period I do not know.
My fathers mother gave birth to twelve children; three dying in infancy. The male members of the family were William M., James (my father), Stephen and Nathaniel. My uncle William raised a very large family, all now dead except three, as I have heard very lately from one of his sons, now a District Judge in the County he was raised in. He has one brother, Stephen, living in Ft. Worth, Texas, and one a retired merchant in or near Louisville, Ky.
My Uncle Stephen settled near Paducah, Ky., about 1824 or 25. Of his family I know but little. He was the most perfect giant of a man I ever saw. He was six feet five inches tall, and looked to me to be about three feet across the shoulders. I saw him once take an ordinary sized horse by the fore legs, and place his shoulders against the horses breast, and lift him clear off the ground several times. My father was still two inches taller than him, and was a regular giant in strength; but I have no recollection of seeing him.
My Uncle Nathaniel moved to Missouri in 1830. Of his family I know nothing, only that I heard he was killed by the rebels in our late war because he would not take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate Government.
Of my fathers sisters, I remember to have seen them all. The oldest one married Daniel Duvall, who moved to Missouri in 1825, or about that time. Of her family I know nothing. His second sister, Martha, married John Byars, who started in the world with as fair prospects s any man I ever knew; but became very intemperate, and died a miserable drunkard. Of her family I know nothing. His third sister, Eliza, married a Schotchman whose name was Thomas Rutherford, a very wealthy man. He settled in Clark County, Missouri, a short distance from Keokuk in 1829. I received a letter from his oldest son, Ben, in the summer of 1883. He said the family were all dead but himself. Fathers fourth sister, Amanda, married John Hill, who prospered finely for a few years and became dissipated, and lost all he had; but reformed again and prospered well. I well remember her. She was a very handsome woman. The youngest sister was Mildred, named after her mother. She married Walter Bowland. She lived but a short time after her marriage. Both of the families of Terry and Bagby were large healthy people.
My grandmother Terry was said to be one of the best informed women of her time. She had the whole of the Revolutionary War by heart. There was no campaign or battle, but she knew all about it.
The oldest of her children were well educated; but after leaving Virginia and going to the then new country of Kentucky; schools were scarce and indifferent, and as a consequence the younger portion of the family received but little schooling.
Of my mother's family, I have but little knowledge. I know that my mother's father, Henry Gorin, was the youngest of three brothers, John and Gladden were their names. All three of them were in the Revolutionary War. My grandfather enlisting when fourteen years old, and serving seven years. I have often heard him say that he never went to school but three months, and yet he was thought to be one of the best Judges of Law in his time. I remember that he had a very large library, and that he was a great lover of good books. In his early life, he was a great lover of horses, and prided himself in owning the best and fastest stock. But about 1808 or 09, he was broken up by General Andrew Jackson. He then moved from Warren County, Ky., where he then lived, to Todd County in the same State, where he continued to raise fine horses; but would never run any more races. He succeeded in accumulating property quite fast, and ws wealthy when I could first remember. I think I have heard him say that his ancestors came from England; but he had more of the physiognommy of the Welsh than English. He was a highly esteemed in the community in which he lived. Of my grandmothers family on my mothers side I know nothing. Not even her maiden name.
She was a hard working, frugal woman. To make and save was her motto, and I think to her industry and frugality grandfather owed much of his success in accumulating property. So far as learning was concerned, she had none. I have heard them say her people opposed her marrying grandfather, because he was pretty wild; and that they ran away from home, and were married in the woods; she being adorned in a home made cotton gown made by her own hands. She lived some years after grandfathers death, which occurred in August 1831. Grandmother, I think died in 1838 or 39. They lived on a large farm on the road leading from Clarksville, Tennessee, on the Cumberland River to Elkton, Ky., the County Seat of Todd County, sixteen miles North of the former place, and right South of the latter.
My father, James Terry, was a brick mason by trade. He was born in Louisa County, Virginia, in 1790. He built the house my grandparents on my mothers side lived in, and made the acquaintance of my mother while so engaged. They were married in 1815, and commenced life in Hopkinsville, in Christian County, Ky., the name of the County in which the renowned Jeff Davis was born in. Here my father succeeded well in his trade, and built for himself a large hotel; but he unfortunately engaged in buying and driving horses over the mountains to Virginia, and Maryland. I said unfortunately for about this time every bank in the Country collapsed, as a result of the bad financial system adopted in the time of the late war of 1812, and which by the way was adopted by the Democra- tic party; their blunders go back to their birth as a party. My father with a large majority of business men at that time was financially ruined. He surren- dered everything he had, even to his table ware. He then resolved to go South, and try his fortune anew, and took the common method of his time of moving, and fitted out a flat boat, and in it, floated down the Cumberland to the Ohio, and thence down to the Mississippi. His first stop was at Natchez. I was only two years old. This was in 1819. One day a steamboat went up the river, which was a rare thing at that time. I ran away from the house to the river, which was some distance, and going too near the water, a big wave took me in, and but for an Indian squaw, the only living person that saw me, I should never have been heard of again. She carried me to the top of the hill, and enquired whose Pappoose I was. My mother was almost frightened to death when she saw me in her possession, and almost drowned. After staying here some time father went still farther down river. Went up Red river as far as Natchatoches, and then returned to Alexandria in Louisiana, and there remained until his death, which occured in July 1819.
At his death, my mother was left penniless in a strange land, among strangers; herself sick and two little children both sick. She wrote home to her father, who advised her to go home by water, but the yellow fever was bad on the river, and it took three weeks to make a trip at that time, which made her afraid to undertake to go home that way. Her father then hired a man to go for her. The distance was five hundred and fifty miles. Five hundred of it through the Indian Nations. This man went about one hundred miles and got sick, or pretended to, and returned home. Her father then hired another man, who after a tedious trip got through, and they were not long in starting on their return trip. One day while traveling through the Indian Nation, the man spoke to mother, and said, "Katy, you must drive for I am very sick." He laid down in the wagon and after driving some distance, she turned to ask how he felt, and what was her horror to find the man dead. I have often wondered how a young, frail woman as she was, got through with such trials as she endured; but I suppose it is true, that none of us know what we can do, until we are compelled to. In this trying case she made signs of distress to the Indians who came to her assistance, took the man and buried him after their manner. They then led her horses to a trading post, called Collins Station, which happily was not far off. There nine families of white people lived at this station. Here she remained until further arrangements could be made for her, and after some delay she again resumed her journey which was a long tedious one; but at last she reached home worn out with fatigue, sick with two children, Napoleon B. and myself. Poor mother, after her excitement was over, and she felt safe at home, sank down in utter prostration from which it seemed almost impossible to arouse her. In fact, she never did entirely recover from it. She lived just twenty years after fathers death, and died in Barren County, Ky., in August 1841. Such is only an outline of a very remarkable woman. One who was lovely in her character, modest and unassuming, an angelic singer, an humble Christian; dying in full confidence of a blessed life beyond. Peace to her sacred dust, is the prayer of a loving son.
I ought also to add, that in 1827, mother married a second time to one Nathaniel D. Terry, a third cousin of my fathers. My step-father was very good to her, and had plenty of this Worlds goods. The result of this marriage was one son. He was well educated, graduating at the head of his class at Danville College, Ky., and is a celebrated Minister in the Baptist Denomination. He still lives on the farm owned by his father, he being the only heir.
Since writing the foregoing, I have learned something more of our ancestry through Judge John C. Bagby of Rushville, Illinois. He says the Bagby family were originally from Scotland. That part bordering on Wales. I also have learned that three distinct families of Terrys have come to America at differ- ent times. The first settled in Charleston, Mass. the second on Long Island, New York, and the third in Virginia. There being no relation between them as far as known. We are of the Virginia family.
I have also learned that the wound my grandfather received was at the battle of Brandywine, on the 11th of August 1777. I have also learned more about my mothers people. They are descendants of the Hugenots and settled in South Carolina in 1685, and afterwards removed to Virginia in the days of the Colonies.
Below I give you the family record on my mothers side, as kept by my grandfather Gorin, which I obtained from Jerome R. Gorin, my cousin, of Deca- tur, Illinois. The record on my fathers side, I have not been able to get.

TERRY - GILHAM FAMILY RECORDS by Gui L. (Gilham) Flynt 7865 Can. Hwy. # 53 Amarillo TX 79110
The first TERRY name appearing in my family search is in the Bible of my Grandfather, Geo. W. Gilham. The Bible was presented to him from his Father, Thomas Sanford Gilham Dec. 25, 1900. So the entrys would have been made just after that. The second Bible has birth of Ezekiel Gilham, so I do not know when they were entered. I will only list necessary ones to establish TERRY name.
First entry made 1777.
#1 Bible of; George Williamson Gilham and Mary L. Look
Marriages; T. S. Gilham and Matilda TERRY 21 Dec 1854
Birth; R. L. Gilham 7 May 1800 Jane Gilham 3 Mar 1804 John TERRY 22 Mar 1800 Julia TERRY 16 Aug 1807 T. S. Gilham 19 Jun 1834 Matilda Gilham 11 Apr 1836
Deaths; Matilda TERRY Gilham 14 Mar 1906 T. S. Gilham 5 Dec 1912
#2 Bible of; Robert Logan Gilham and Jane R. Nicholson
Marriages; T. S. Gilham and Matilda TERRY 21 Dec 1854
Births; Thomas S. Gilham 19 Jun 1834 Matilda TERRY Gilham 11 Apr 1836
Deaths: Thomas TERRY 31 Oct 1855 Julia TERRY 10 Apr 1863 Matilda Gilham 14 Mar 1906 T. S. Gilham 3 Dec 1912
I believe the copys of the two Gilham family Bible's speak for themselves, along with the family sheet of Thomas Sanford Gilham and Matilda Jane TERRY.
As to John Thomas TERRY and Julia Gaulding; you will notice there is no mention of Julia being a Gaulding. In the #1 Bible, he is called John TERRY. Bible #2 he is Thomas TERRY.
A grandaughter of T. S. Gilham gave me her information, writing his name as J. Thomas. This grandaughter was born 18 Nov 1885. She insisted Julia was a Gaulding. Also another grandaughter born 1900, she also remembers that her name was Julia Gaulding. So I will continue seeking Gaulding for now.
I have found nothing to prove this, that is why I need their marriage liscense, ca. 1824.
I believe I sent the list of the children's birth dates, this list is on a single sheet of paper in the Geo. W. Gilham Bible.
Children of John and Julia TERRY:
William TERRY 11 Apr 1825 Sarah TERRY 10 May 1827 John TERRY 10 Oct 1828 Thomas TERRY 25 Dec 1830 Nancy TERRY 17 Nov 1832 Alonzo TERRY 16 Oct 1834 Matilda TERRY 11 Apr 1836 Martha TERRY 11 Apr 1838 George W. TERRY 13 Nov 1839 - 18 Dec 1861 Williamson H. TERRY 23 Aug 1841 - 22 Jul 1861 Larance TERRY 24 May 1843 Zachary T. TERRY 13 May 1847
This is believed to be written by Matilda as at the top of the page was birth and death dates of John & Julie TERRY.
I know nothing of any of this family except of course Matilda, except for a bit on Thomas TERRY born 1830. That will follow on a separate page and you will understand why.
Did I ever get a rude awakening, when I started to sort out the cemetery record and just sent the TERRY, I found Julia, wife of John TERRY not buried there, at least no stone. As I told you I have not worked on this line, just pick up data and file it way until just the past couple of months. And it was assumption on my part that she was buried there. So now I will try checking that out. I guess Julia was testing me, her marriage and now this. She died some eight years after her husband, so she will likely be with some of her children.
Note: As of March, 1984 both of the above Bibles are in my possession. They will in time go to my oldest daughter, Marie Erwin, 3816 Danbury, Amarillo TX 79109.-- Gui Flynt.

Death of Another Member of the L. L. Guards
We are again called upon to record the death of another member of the L. L. Guards. Private Williamson H. TERRY died on Monday night, the 22nd instant, of camp fever. His remains reached here on Friday morning last, in charge of W. B. Jones and Lieutenant J. B. Morgan, and were carried and committed to the grave beside the dust of his father. We sympathize with the widowed mother, and sisters and brothers. [Williamson H. Terry, son of John Thomas Terry and Julia Gaulding-- Gui Flynt.]
Tribute of Respect
Camp Jackson, Near Portsmouth, Va., Headquarters 4th Reg't. Geo. Vol. July 28, '61.
At a meeting of the LaGrange Light Guards, held today, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Our hearts have been saddened, and the cheerfulness of our camp turned to mourning, by the death of two of our brother soldiers--Samuel G. Swindall, and Williamson H. Terry.
When the tocsin of war was first heard upon our borders, and before the invader's foot had polluted our soil, with patriotic ardor they responded to their country's first call for volunteers, and marched forth to defend Southern honor and secure Southern Independence. Full of hope, buoyed up by infaltering courage, confident of the success of our arms, they were firmly resolved "to do their duty." Often did their eyes glisten and the fire of their hearts brighten up their faces, as seated around our camp, we talked of the prospect of battle, and the chance of making the northern hirelings bite the dust. Willingly would they have sacrificed their_______ often said _________ and establishing our liberties.
But alas! none of us know what fate awaits us.--Stricken down by disease, our brave comrades were denied the glorious death of the battlefield. Quietly they breathed out their lives upon their bed surrounded by their brother-soldiers, ere yet they had been permitted to meet and strike down the insolent invader. In soft, calm voice, Swindall said, "I would not change places with any of you." Terry as calmly and resignedly said, "Boys, if I die. carry me home." Thus two gallant souls passed away in the stillness of midnight. Though theirs was not the soldier's coveted death, yet their young lives were given to their country. Therefore--
Resolved, 1st. That in the death of Samuel G. Swindall and Williamson H. Terry, the LaGrange Light Guards, have deeply to deplore the loss of two of their bravest and worthiest members.
Resolved, 2nd. That we tender to the families of the deceased,our heartfelt sympathy in this, their sad bereavement.
Resolved, 3rd. That a copy of above preamble and resolutions be furnished the families of the deceased, and also a copy to the "LaGrange Reporter," for publication.

ST. CLAIR COUNTY MISSOURI TERRY FAMILY RECORDS Submitted by Genevieve Bess Mitchell of New Brighton MN 55112
Grave Stones in the Terry Cemetery: St. Clair County Missouri located 2 1/2 miles south of Ohio, Missouri.
These names and dates were copied by Mr. and Mrs. Clement W. Rickman in 1980 at the time the cemetery was being refenced and repaired. There were many people buried here in unmarked graves. We know where some of them are but if there ever was a drawing or record of the cemetery we do not know where it is. We are sorry that there will be some errors in dates and spelling in this report due to the weathering of the stones. Some corrections might be made during a dry period using chalk dust and strong focusing flash light.

CEMETERY RESTORED From St. Clair Courier, February 26, 1981, Page 4.
The historic Terry Cemetery, two and one half miles south of Ohio, has been refenced, cleared of brush and dead trees and branches. Some families have reset the leaning and fallen stones of their family. At least one new stone is being erected for Peter Garland Terry, son of the pioneer Terry. The restoration project was initiated and followed through by the descendants of Terry, Shoemaker, Walton, and Rickman. The sponsors are all third generation cousins. They were assisted by other heirs of the cemetery, with labor and help with expenses. Ted Noakes of Lowry City whose wife Wanda is a Terry, contributed most in time and labor to the project.
The project was started with the urge that it is a sin to permit the graves of our ancestors to be destroyed and second that this is a now or never cause.
When James and Elizabeth Terry in 1840 came by covered wagon train to St. Clair County, no sooner had they arrived than two of their sons died with the fever. They were buried just a shor distance from the family homne and this was the beginning of Terry Cemetery. In that day the cemetery was on the pioneer road and was accessable to the people of the area. When the section lines were established with county roads, the Terry Cemetery was caught near the center of the section. The heirs of the cemetery apparently did not petition the County Court for an access road. Recently the old road has been fenced off, the houses along it are empty, and the old road closed. About four acres were set aside for cemetery and the heirs could without doubt still petition the County Court for an access road if they ever deemed it necessary.
The cemetery is a beautiful spot in the woods and is covered with myrtle in summer. It is hoped that other families will restore the grave stones of their ancestors. The pioneer ancestors of the sponsors of the restoration project were: James Sparkfarley Terry and his wife Elizabeth Abbot Hughes, William B. Shoemaker and his first wife Elizabeth Kincheloe (who had 156 relatives in St. Clair County in 1922), County Judge Joshua Richman and wife Mary Barnett Terry, and Minister of the Gospel Clement Stubblefield Walton and wife Eliza Jane Reid. William B. Shoemaker came from Pennsylvania but supported the Confederacy. All of the others of Tennessee.
