NEW JERSEY MAY BE TARGET LOCATION FOR ORIGINS TO JASPER TERRY WHO MARRIED MARY MORRISON


JASPER TERRY AND WIFE MARY MORRISON, BOTEOURT AND MONTGOMERY CO.M VA. 

This man fathered DNA connected son Josiah Terry who married Mary Lloyd and who fathered, in turn, Jasper Morrison Terry and Aaron Burr Terry (all proven through DNA). Still undecided is if the Jasper Terry who married a Margaret and died in 1819 in Montgomery Co., Va is another son of that elder Jasper (he fathered sons Jonathan, Elijah, Silas, and William as well as three daughters who married in Graham, Rose, and DeWeese lines). His relationship via DNA is yet to be determined.

Now, from information found among the test results of the Terry Project at Family Tree, it appears that those seeking the parents of that elder Jasper who married Mary Morrison should turn their eyes to New Jersey...

There is a related group - probably a few generations back - who are a G-01 and they emerge out of New Jersey. 


Research into the three men who came aboard the 1635 "The James" seem to show a migration into Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and then into Bucks Co., PA for one line and others into NY and NJ.  It was a common track during the time as new lands were made available. Of note, is that there were apparently some Terry in Connecticut unconnected to these men from the James. So, as DNA research and document searches continue, there is a growing focus as several Terry men land in NJ and VA as well as NY during the time of this migration who might connect to the G-02 group.
