Aboard the Great Migration ship, The James, the eldest Terry of the trio was Thomas Terry, age 28 (9 Nov 1606 -5 June 1672, Southold, Long Island). The others were Richard, 17, and Robert, 25. They all, apparently, came from Kent in England.
It is believed they landed in Massachusetts, migrated into the Long Island regions, and then some drifted further south (children, grandchildren) into New Jersey and Pennsylvania and beyond.
Thomas, from early records, appears to have married twice. His first wife may have been a Marie LNU who died in 1659 in Southold, L.I. His second wife, may have been named Mary or something else; the confusion in some records as to his wife name being "Mary" or "Maria" may be simply confusion of one name or a hint at the name of a second wife. It was an era where women were often known only as "Mrs" before the husband's name.
He had the following children (according to his will):
Daniel Terry b. 24 Nov 1706, Southold, L.I.; md Sarah LNU; both died about 1706.
Thomas Terry
Elizabeth Terry
Ruth Terry
Mary Terry Reve; md Thomas Reeve (1611-1665); had children Thomas Reeve (1682) md Agnes Rider; John Reeve md #1 Hannah Brown #2 Martha LNU; Joseph Terry (1656-1736) md#1 Abigail LNU and #2 Deliverance Human; Hannah Reeve (1657); Jonathan Reeve (1658-1706) md Martha LNU; Walter Reeve (1698, Burlington, NJ) md #1 Susaanah LNU #2 Ann Howell.
