A grave marker for one Miles Terry in the Ft Douglas Cemetery reports his birth date was 8 October 1880. This is the same cemetery where William and Jane are buried, and other children we know from the censuses and other sources are also linked to their profile. The memorial for Miles in Find a Grave has the name James Miles Terry, while the monument marker on his grave has only the name Miles. Being born in October 1880, he would not have been reported in the 1880 census, when the only child there was Mason Terry, age 2. On 29 february 2016 I submitted informaoitn clarifying and documenting Marion Miles and James Mason Terry, and this was graciously added to the FAG profile for Miles by the memorial manager. 1880 Federal Census, Johnson County, Arkansas, 5 June, Pilot Rock Township, District 88, page 6A (scan 260A), Hse #45, Fam #54 Terry, William W M 25 Farmer Cannot read or write AR KY KY Terry, Jane W F 25 Wife Keeping House Cannot read or write AR AR AR Terry, Mason W M 2 Son AR AR AR Self, Betty W F 20 (Cannot read relationship) Cannot read or write AR AR AR In the 1900 and 1910 census, the child matching Mason is listed as James M. His age matches, at age 22 in 1900, and birth date reported as December 1877. This is almost 3 years before the reported birth of Miles Terry. This James M, however, is apparently where the original creator of Miles' FAG memorial got the name James. But we now see that James M is James Mason and Miles is a different child, born about 3 years after James M. Family sources also report this name James and descent to the current generation. "Sam Terry is my uncle. He is the son of Mason Terry [and the] grandson of William Terry, and the great-grandson of Isom Terry. The Gus Terry who wrote the letter is also the son of William Terry." -- Barbara Nelson, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 4 February 2016 But in 1900 a child matching Miles Terry is also reported, as the next-born child after James M(ason). This is Marion M. The M matches the name Miles on the grave. The birth date for this Marion M Terry is October 1880, a perfect match for the date of birth of Miles Terry in the Ft Douglas Cemetery. Thus James' middle name is Mason, and Miles' first name is Marion. There is no James Miles. 1900 Federal Census, Johnson County, Arkansas, 15 June, Pilot Rock Township, District 42, page 6A, Hse #80, Fam #82 Terry, William Head W M Mar 1856 44 Married 23 year KY KY KY Farmer Owns Terry, Ursula J Wife W F Dec 1854 45 Married 23 year 8 children/6 living AR TN MO Terry, James M Son W M Dec 1877 22 Single AR KY AR Farm Laborer Terry, Marion M Son W M Oct 1880 19 Single AR KY AR Farm Laborer Terry, Levanda Dau W M May 1884 14 Single AR KY AR Farm Laborer Terry, Riah [Rier, name on his grave] Son W M Oct 1886 13 Single AR KY AR Farm Laborer Terry, Gus Son W M May 1889 11 Single AR KY AR Farm Laborer Terry, Captain Son W M May 1895 5 Single AR KY AR In 1905, Miles married.

This is before Miles was born, if the date on his grave is correct.

James Mason Terry was reported born in December 1877, while Miles' birth date on his grave is 8 Oct 1880, after the 1880 census. The name Mason is also attested in family sources, matching the 1880 census for Mason Terry, age 2. Miles is listed in the 1900 census as Marion M, with birth date Oct 1880.

Also, June Yeager, a granddaughter of Elizabeth, reports to me that Elizabeth was the only child of Mary and Nathaniel before he died. Arkansas marriage records report that George and Mary married in 1881. There is a conflict between the Arkansas marriage record reporting their marriage on 20 August 1881, while her grave reports she died on 1 April 1881.

Mamma Jennie probably told me very much I had forgotten in the interim, before beginning my family research as an adult. She also probably told me at that time that she was born in Texas but I did not remember that. I had to work it out through census reports I gradually discovered. The 1860 census reports Mary Ellen as 16 years old. However, family sources indicate her birthday is 8 August 1844. This would mean she had not had her 16th birthday yet when the census was taken in July. This is just one more example of how people in that era did not focus on the details like specific dates and ages, with which our modern information age is obsessed. Mary Ellen Terry married Nathaniel Edwin Connally shortly after the census, and they had one child, a girl named Eddie/Eddy, in September 1863. A previous child named Slade had died shortly after being born. Nathaniel was killed in the Civil War, at the Battle of Chancellorsville, Virginia in 1863, not long before Eddie's birth in September 1863. Marry Ellen married Nathaniel's brother Jones.

These are the two sons of Ann Hunter, Jones' first wife. Daughter E Connally would be Eddy, born after her father died, Mary Ellen and Nat's daughter. The last child, 1-year-old A Connally, would be Arizona, the first child Mary Ellen had with Jones. Mary Ellen was the second wife of Jones Connally, after his wife Ann C Hunter died. Her first husband was his younger brother Nathaniel Edwin Connally. In his genealogy posted on Ancestry World Tree (http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=bigwills&id=I43141, no longer online), Johnny L Williams reports that Mary Ellen died at Eddy, McLennan, County, Texas. Eddy is about 10 miles south of Waco, and is now called Bruceville-Eddy. This is close to Lorena, which is about 5 miles from Waco on I-35. Lorena is the town nearest to the place where my grandmother Julia Virginia Terry was born in 1880. Julia Virginia's father Thomas Duncan was a 1st cousin to Mary Ellen. I have discovered the connections that make the Terry-Jenkins descendants kin to the Connallys of McLennan County. The most famous of this line of Connallys was senator Thomas Terry Connally. Thomas Terry Connally was a son of Mary Ellen Terry. As a daughter of Joseph and Dovina Terry, Mary Ellen was a first cousin to Thomas Duncan Terry, Julia Virginia's father. By common reckoning, Mary Ellen is thus a 2nd cousin to my grandmother Julia Virginia Terry Jenkins. By technical reckoning, Family Tree Maker tells me Mary Ellen and Julia Virginia are 1st cousins once removed. Our common reckoning tells us that Julia Virginia was a 3rd cousin to Mary Ellen's son Thomas Terry Connally. FTM says Thomas Terry Connally and Julia Virginia Terry are 2nd cousins. 1880 Federal Census, McLennan County, Texas, 15 June, Page 33A (scan p166A), District 111, Hse/Fam #201 Connally, Jones W M 54 Farmer GA TN GA Connally, Mary E W F 36 Wife Keeping House GA SC GA Connally, Arizona W F 12 Dau At Home TX GA GA Connally, Amanda O W F 9 Dau TX GA GA Connally, Thomas T W M 3 Dau TX GA GA Connally, Bertha M W F 6mos Dau TX GA GA Connally, Eddie W F 16 Step-Dau At Home GA GA GA Connally, Margaret W F 60 Aunt Boarding TN GA GA Walker, Benjamin B M16 Laborer TX MS MS Genealogist Johnny L Williams has gathered other census and related information on Jones Connally and family.

The people's name was written as Seraw or Saura in early Virginia and North Carolina records. Cheepoake died in 1758, which would match with a remarriage by William in 1759. "A full blooded Cheraw Indian. Cheraw often written as Saraw or Saura in early VA & NC records. The Cheraw Indians ceasd to exist as a tribe around 1730 and were absorbed into the related Catawba and Cherokee Tribes, but most seem to have become the mixed-blood "Lumbee" of Robeson County Indians.

Her family goes back to parents Miles and Luraney Johnson Terry, grandparents Isaac and Barbara Gabbard Terry, and then great-grandparents Thomas Miles Terry 1797-1852 who was married to Martha Jane or Patsy Johnson in Breathitt County. This Thomas Miles was child of Miles B. or Devil Jet and Hannah Horton. Siblings were Rachel, Annie, Leonard, and Susanna Elizabeth. It is the story that this Thomas Miles left Patsy and children and took off and remarried and had a different family up in Floyd County. I was just trying to be sure I had right person. I was also wondering about the name Devil Jett as I am a Jett but not sure why or what Devil Jett means. No insult but my Grandmother said we were not that old bad Curt Jett's bunch and I know she meant the feuding and killing Curtis Jett. I do not think he was related (well, not any more closely than us) to Devil Jet. -- Gwendolyn Andrews, Geneanet Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 19 January 2019 ----------------------- Kentucky, Death Records, 1852-1965 Thomas Terry "a farmer and married man" Birth Date abt 1802 Death Age 50 Death Nov 1852 Carter County, Kentucky, USA Cause of Death flux Father Miles Terry (no mother named) Recorded 24 March 1853 Carter County Death Records, p 3
