ufcrru We have tried to be as accurate as possible with the names, dates and facts collected in this book. Please realize that with the amount of material we received, no one person or group of people could have proofread all the copy and catch all the errors. With some copy, we adhered to the original spelling, realizing that in the original documents names were spelled two and three different ways. We look upon this book as the beginning of our family's written history. History books change as the times change and we expect that what is written here will be changed also as time passes. Please make any corrections you feel necessary in your own copy. JackTerry / Partial UtHtnrQ 0f •Htlltam aferrtf ani tjts SeBmtimnte 1724—1981 , \^ & GENEALOGICAL DEPARTMENT AV ^ (\ r> CHURCH CF J_3SUS CHRIST v?y^ OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS \ "A DEDICATION This Genealogy of William Terry is dedicated to the descendants whose memory will be forever cherished and those who are now living. It is a humiliating thought that men are usually forgotten in so few years, even by their descendants. In life they have done their part, the same as we do, and perhaps they have lived to a good age, still, in a few short years, it seems that nothing is left of them to trace. It is hoped that this history will awaken interest in our family history and that more and better records will be kept in the years to come. Daniel Webster said: "He who careth not from whence he came, careth little whither he goeth." The early pioneers who came to America were the "strong and the brave; only the brave started and only the strong got here." In coming to America, these pioneers broke away from their old ties, their relatives, neighbors and homeland. They were possessed of heart and consciences of an honest nature and a desire to establish a home in a free country. They developed along with the deep love of freedom, a love and compassion for their fellow-men. They learned to help each other in clearing and building; in birth and illness; in marriage and death. They rendered mankind a priceless service, and those who come after them and enjoy the fruits of their labors should never tire in honoring their memory. ***** To the many who have contributed over the years to make this compilation possible, I wish to express deep appreciation and thanks. Special recognition should be given to David Sodrel of Tobinsport Ind.; Doris Leistner of Tell City Ind., Charles T. Burton of Troutville, VA. Aunt Emma Terry and her son John Terry who are the printers of the History Book, Janesville, Wl. My son Arlen and his wife Dorothy who have taken me to the many states where the ancestors have lived. Correspondence and travels in search of Data have added not only to new names and date of the lineages, but also valued friendships, interesting experiences and much in "family background" to me. I hope I have reported them as accurately as possible. New resources may be available to future family genealogists, overlooked records may be discovered, and new contacts made with other descendants, may their enjoyment be as great as mine. / / 7 U-- -, d 3 / — 2- / TABLE OF CONTENTS Title 1 Mark - Mary Terry - Family Pictures 51 Dedication 2 Children of Marquis & Mary Terry 52 Table of Contents 3 M.

The borne has quite a history, ^lae house has heen demolished recently on account of age. The present lihrary building was "built on one corner of the property which is Elmwood Park. The house stood in the center of the property on a hill. It housed the old library and after that was used by the Roanoke Council of Garden Clubs. There are many references to the Terrys, Bedford, Campbell, and as you will note, especially Fittsylvania. Old records and the 1790 census list several Johns.
