William Terry was a "recognized Patriot -- furnished
supplies."
The middle name of Louis A Terry is likely Alexander. I have not found it
definitely documented, but his brother Duncan Lafayette named his first son
Louis Alexander, who also named his son Louis Alexander. There is a pattern
in this Terry line for brothers to name sons after their brothers, rather than
fathers naming their sons after themselves.

In 1910, both Louis (Lewis) and his wife Sarah are "servants" working as farm
laborers for a family named Rose. This may be a kinsman, but the relationship
has not been determined. They have been married for 3 years but have only one
child, a new daughter, 5 months old.

A news story reports that by 1921 he was a peace officer in Poteau, also in
LeFlore County, Oklahoma. The article is somewhat ambiguous, but it appears
that Louis, also known as Luke, is a deputy sheriff. This appears to be a
county position, since the illegal still they busted is northwest of Spiro:
===================
The Poteau Weekly Sun, September 15, 1921
"Officers Capture Still.
"Wednesday morning of this week Deputy Sheriff Costello, assisted by Officers
Luke Terry and Oscar Krebs, captured a still of twenty-gallon capacity that
was running full blast when the officer made the raid. G. R. Herriott and
Leon Kellam were arrested and brought to Poteau and lodged in jail, charged
with operating the still, and one gallon of hooch was brought in as evidence
against them. The still was located about six miles northwest of Spiro and
the officers consider it a good haul."
-- http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ok/leflore/newspapers/news94.txt
===================
Luke is still active with the Sheriff's Department in 1922 against
moonshiners. Stories in the papers indicate there was a lot of public outcry
over the drunkenness and social disorder in LeFlore County, and
dissatisfaction with the small fines ($5) given for the too-common public
drunkenness.
===================
The Poteau News, June 15, 1922
"Sheriff's Force Round 'Em Up.
"John Hunt and his force have been on some mighty big still hunts for the past
two weeks..., and several men are out on bond waiting county, state and
federal judges.
"Last week a man named John Jones at Shady Point, and his still were captured.
This went to the federal court and the commissioner at Sallisaw put him under
a bond of one thousand dollars.
...
"Sunday night, Hunt, Ruyle, Terry and Hardesty made a raid three miles west of
Wister and picked up a man named Maxwell with the goods. Ruyle first bought a
quart from him and the boys succeeded in getting him on three charges. He is
under bond.
....
"John Hunt and Luke Terry went to Monroe last Monday and raided a house,
capturing some jake and other stuff."
===================
Luke was later either still with the sheriff's office or already a US Marshall
in Spiro, Oklahoma. The following story is unclear exactly what his office
was. He is not referred to as a U S Marshall but was given responsibility by
the US Marshall's office for a prisoner. He could have been still a Sheriff's
deputy but had official authority under the marshall's office for the man he
was to apprehend.
In the course of his duty, he shot a man named Hal Evans and was charged and
convicted of manslaughter. Here is a copy of the court ruling on his appeal
of his conviction on manslaughter in the first degree. This document recounts
a summary of the event and the testimony.
===================
Terry v State
1926 OK CR 368
249 P. 1113
35 Okl. Cr. 229
Decided 10/23/1926
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals
Cite as: 1926 OK CR 368, 35 Okl. Cr. 229, 249 P. 1113
Appeal from District Court, LeFlore County; E. F. Lester, Judge.
Luke Terry was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, and he appeals.
Affirmed.
Sam A. Neely, W. D. Wooley, and W. C. Peters, for plaintiff in error.
George F. Short, Atty. Gen., for the State.
BESSEY, P. B. The plaintiff in error, Luke Terry, was convicted of
manslaughter in the first degree, with his punishment fixed by a jury at
confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of ten years.
Page 230
No briefs have been filed in support of this appeal, and from this the court
may assume that the appeal is without merit, or that the same has been
abandoned. This being a homicide case, the court has examined the record with
care, and finds that the information sufficiently charged the crime of murder,
and that the evidence amply supports a conviction for manslaughter and
included offense. The instructions of the court fairly stated the law of the
case, and that the plaintiff in error in all respects was accorded a fair
trial.
The evidence shows that Hal Evans, the man slain, was one among many others
who had left the employment of the railway company on a strike; that the
plaintiff in error, Luke Terry, was posse comitatus under the United States
marshal for the Eastern district of Oklahoma; that the deceased, Evans, and
others engaged in the strike had been enjoined by the United States court of
the Eastern district from in any manner interfering with the operation of the
railroad or its employees, and that there may have been a hostile feeling
between the former employees then on strike and the officers, whose duty it
was to see that the provisions of the injunction should not be violated. Other
than this, the evidence shows that there had been no personal controversy or
animosity existing between the plaintiff in error and the deceased.
The tragedy took place at a railway station in the presence of many witnesses,
several of whom testified that the plaintiff in error assaulted the deceased
without just cause or provocation, and, in the course of the altercation,
fired the fatal shot. The evidence would have sustained a verdict for murder.
The verdict for manslaughter will therefore not be disturbed.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
DOYLE and EDWARDS, JJ., concur.
===================
There is an oddity about reports concerning Marshall Luke Terry. Family and
public sources, and the associated dates, confirm that Louis Alexander Terry
and Luke Terry are the same person. The oddity comes in another court trial
in 1932. Marshal Luke Terry, still (or again) on duty in Spiro, Oklahoma, is
again on trial for killing a suspect in Spiro.
The date of the offence is uncertain but a news story during the trail is
dated 17 October, and references to another incident mentions December 1931.
The victim this time is name Charlie Lemons, who was shot in alleged
resistance at the time of an attempted arrest. In a news story during the
trial he is referred to as "Night Marshall Luke Terry."
The date of the news article during the trial in 17 October [1932]. But in
1926 he was convicted to ten years for manslaughter. So this next killing was
only 6 years into the ten years term, yet he is again functioning as a
Marshall in the same location. In early November 2007, I found a blog of a
nephew of Louis "Luke" Terry with some comments. This is the person who had
constructed the Terry Family History website a few years ago. He comments
that Luke was tried for murder after he had served time for manslaughter.
This confirms that the two trials are for the same Deputy Sheriff Luke Terry.
This would mean that he did not serve the full term for the first conviction.
I still have not discovered whether he was convicted in this second trial.
--
http://bottlecapnapkin.blogspot.com/2005/11/great-grandpa-was-convict.html#links
He comments in this same posting that his great-grandfather Duncan Lafayette
Terry was convicted and served time in the Ohio State Penitentiary for selling
liquor to the Indians.
It seems odd, that, even if he was released early, the US Marshall would have
rehired him as a marshall, being a convicted killer.

I found also that on his son's birth certificate in 1922, Luke's occupation at
that time is Guard, Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Louis A Jr was born on 23
June 1922. This is just 8 days after Deputy Luke is reported (above) as
involved in the arrests and confiscation of the stills in the county! Perhaps
the sheriff's officers alternated in field duty and as guards at the prison.

Rube is obviously short for Reuben. His grandson Bill Walker refers to the

"My great grandfather was William Walker Terry, I´m named after him. ...
William Terry moved with the Wells family from Texas to Douglas AZ. ... There
is a family grave yard outside of Douglas. William Terry Sr [he means the

-- William W Terry, Jr, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 13 June 2013
However, his name on the gravestone is spelled Rubuin, as one of th 1910
enumerations below.
Reuben and the whole family were enumerated twice in 1910. Besides the record
from Cochise County in the southeast corner of the state, bordering Mexico and
New Mexico, Ida and her children were also enumerated in the Gila County near
the center of the state. All the children and their ages match. In the Gila
County report Ida is the Head of the home, with no husband reported. But she
is reported as married for 13 years, not divorced as in the Cochise County
report.
Both enumerations took place on the same day. This must mean some of the
children, probably the older ones, were in one location, and Ida was in the
other with the younger children.

This record tells us Major and Georgia were married in about 1899, or late

In 1910, the youngest child was listed as M D, while his father is Major. In
the 1920 census, Douglas is listed as Major D, and his son as M D Jr. This
gives us the first name of both as Major. Several genealogies including this
family also list both men as Major Douglas Terry.
