Although exact connections are still being determined, the DNA indicates there is a connection to this line of Terry's (descendants of those three, presumed brothers, who arrive 1635 aboard THE JAMES, see entry this blog) - so this makes him a cousin, of sorts.
One of the brothers was Richard Terry of Kent, England (1618-1676) wife Abigail.
His son Gerhom Terry (1652-1724) md Deborah Wells.
His son Gershom Terry (c1684-1724) md Mary Wells
His son David Terry ( ) wife Mehitable Aldrich had a son
His son was GERSHOM TERRY , (1710-1777) born in Malliluck, Long Island died in Corum, Suffolk, New York. He married Mary Wells, daughter of Joshua and Mary Brewster Wells. They had a child Timothy Brewster Terry (1732-1796).
in September 1777 the community of Brookhaven took a stand concerning the then current political situation and signed what is known as the Association Test of Brookhaven (1777). Many of the names are familiar to those studying the family tree of this branch of the Terry's and those surnames mingle through marriages for several generations.
From a school webpage in the area is a nice page with the signers of the Association Test and listed is "Gershom Terry" (Signers in Brookhaven, June 8, 1775 - Longwood Central School District)
