SOME EARLY, EARLY TERRY NOTES (1600's)

This will be, probably, an ongoing entry and updated as new records present themselves. They are not known to connect but since early records can be useful in tracking migrations, here they are:

1632- A Samuel Terry born near London at Barnett. He came to America aboard the ship, The Pynchon, in 1650. He married an Ann Lobdell, sister of a Simon Lobdell. Source: Historic Families of American by Walter Spooner, pg.259. See also Volume 61: The Pynchon Papers, Volume II - Colonial Society of Massachusetts. The shop may have transported horses to the colonies.

In 1662, an Isaac Terry  b 1662?m England. d.1723, England. Son of William Terry and Anne James. Source: LDS Family Registry/

In 1685, b circa,  a Jasper Terry,  son of Thomas Terry. All of Bucks Co., PA. Jasper married a Susannah (b. c 1685) , had sons John b 1713 and Thomas b. ca. 1711. (Note this Bucks Co., Pa groups shares a haplogroup with the descendants of John and Esther Brown Terry, son of William Terry and Rachel of Botetourt Co., VA).

1678 (Oct. 10) an inventory of John Terry, carpenter of Piscataway, NJ, dec'd/ Early NJ Records Patents and Deed, vol 21 (1899) pg. 421.

Nathaniel Terry, NY, (1652-1723), md 31 Nov 1682 Mary Horton, (1667-1728) Daughters of the American Colonists Lineage Book 2 -  Supplement. It is believed, and DNA seems to support, that the Southold, LI group of Terry are connected to the Bucks Co., Pa and may indicate the source of the closer relationship of Botetourt Co., VA Haplogroup I-02 and the more distant Haplogroup found among eastern Virginia and coastal areas (I-01). A line of a set of Terry out of Nasesand Co., VA (eastern coastal regions) had a Nathaniel who achieved renown in the American Revolution. They , however, appear to have the I-01 Haplogroup.

1656, Southhold, Long Island, NY, Nathaniel Terry (1652-1723), son of Richard Terry.

1636, aboard the ship "The James"  (June 13) were three men named Terry (DNA of descendants indicates thst two were probably brothers and the third a cousin). They were Thomas Terry, Richard Terry and Robert Terry (Thomas 28, Richard 17 and Robert 25). Sources: New England Ships Passenger Lists, The James 1635 (olivetreegenealogy.com); see also "Five Generations of Terry's in Bucks county, Pennsylvania", Richard L. Tolman, PhD. at http://29deadpeople.com/wp/?page_id=324. Tracks Wm of Botetourt Co., Va as son of Clement Terry Jr., son of Clement Terry Sr., who was the son of a Thomas Terry - probable son of one of the men who arrived in 1635 aboard the James on its second voyage of 1635.
