DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM TERRY (c1724- Oct-Nov.,1792)

 Descendants of William Terry

Generation No. 1

1.UNKNOWN 1 TERRY,  was born Abt. 1700 in Pennsylvania, New York, or New Jersey, and died Abt. 1750. He married UNKNOWN. She was born Bet. 1700-1710, and died unknown. NOTE: many attempts to link this line to the Terry line in eastern Virginia will - no doubt - run into an issue of the DNA. Linking this line to the line of a Stephen, Nathaniel, Benjamin, William, and other names (provides a a Haplogroup of I-01 and descendants of William's son John Terry (three of his sons) have all returned Haplogroups of I-02. A relation - but one much further back....The descendants of a Robert Terry who arrived 1635 on THE JAMES (Thomas, Richard and Robert) are the chief progenitor of the Bucks County, Pennsylvania Terry lines with a strong I-02 Haplogroup. Additionally, the line of one Jasper Terry with wife Mary Morrison (son Josiah who married Mary Lloyd, and had sons Jasper Morrison Terry and Arron Burr Terry) have a Haplogroup of G-02. So, many of the trees that have merged these all together -willy-nilly-  must now taken into account the different DNA Haplogroups.

Descendants of William Terry

Generation No. 3

3. JASPER3 TERRY (WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) was born 1756 in Botetourt Co., Virginia. He married (1) RUTH. It is presumed by many researcher, to date, that he is the same man who died ca 1819 Montgomery Co., VA who named a wife “MARGARET” possibly  SNIDOW. However, they may be two different men and indeed the records seem to infer they may be different individuals. DNA needed for descendants to verify. Jasper with wife Ruth in 1793 filed with the court to be named Admin of his father's estate,  his brother Miles counter filed with desire to get heirs to agree to what they had heard in a spoke will or statement but the court sided with Jasper. 

4.JOHN3 TERRY (WILLIAM2, UNKNOWN1) was born 1760 in Botetourt Co., Virginia, and died December 07, 1842 in Perry Co., Indiana. He married ESTHER BROWN February 02, 1781 in Botetourt Co., Virginia, daughter of THOMAS BROWN and MARY TERRY (other records indicate she was Mary Haddon and the Mary Brown may be a different union; this is a claim lacking evidence). She was born Abt. 1765 in Augusta Co., Virginia, and died 1847 in Perry Co., Indiana.

Notes for JOHN TERRY:

From Worrell's transcription of original records of Botetourt Co., Militia Rolls of Aug 31, 1782, John Terry was in Captain Neeley's Company, 13th District. His brother Miles was in that same company.
