THE ARRIVAL OF SOME TERRY MEN, ABOARD "THE JAMES" 13 June 1635

 In part of what is known as "The Great Migration"...The second voyage of The James left London in July of 1635 and arrived in Massachusetts Bay in September 1635. On board were three Terry's: Thomas Terry, 28; Robert Terry, 25; Richard Terry, 17.

They settled primarily in the Southhold, Long Island, New York area with some drifting into Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and then two branches going into Virginia.

DNA appears to suggest a clear link between the Terry's in Long Island and the group in Botetourt County. Va.

The three men also closely reflect a family legend of three Terry's who arrived in early days into the New England area.

More recent DNA studies suggest that the men were two brothers and a cousin.
