TERRY LINE IN THE SHANKS-PRICE-TERRY FAMILY BIBLE

 The bible marriage page was for Thomas Jefferson Shanks and Elizabeth Price, daughter of Isaac Price.

The children listed included a daughter Mattie Jane SHANKS who married Charles Newton Terry.

These TERRY children were listed as :

Walter, b. 1901

Jos b. 1906

McLouis b. 1909

Reid, b. 1914

Pauling, b. 

Infant, b. 1917 or 1919 (hard to read if a "7" or a "9")


Charles Newton Terry was son of Fred Terry son of a William and Nancy Terry, according to some trees.

Part of the PRICE line and the TERRY line appear to have funneled through the Botetourt County-Montogomery County and the later Greene County made from part of those earlier counties. It is feasible some SHANKS may have also do this. 

Many of these lines appear to have originated further east, along the Virginia and Carolina coastal regions. So it is possible this group of TERRY's may reflect the Haplogroup I-01 linked to a strong line that was in those areas and then supplanted two other lines in the Botetourt and Montgomery Co., Va areas as many sought opportunities into the Kentucky and Tennessee frontiers.

I will be interested in learning which Haplogroup these descendants of Charles Newton Terry fall into; there are three a Terry G-02, a Terry I-01, a Terry 1-02.
