2. Find any marriages of a William Terry and a Rachel fitting the time span of  his life (1724 to 1792). Locate the resource, transcribe the text, and post it here, on Ancestry, on any online source.

3. Find any marriage records or death records for a Ruth Terry, wife of a Jasper Terry or a Margaret Terry, wife of a Jasper Terry.
