Thomas died some time between the 1850 and 1860 censuses. He is mentioned in the will of Lewis Terry in 1851, so it was after July 1851. "Item 8th: I will and desire to my daughter Nancey Carder, wife of Thomas Carder free from control or management of her said husband and not subject to the payment of his debts, lot of land number ninety-one (91), district of the third section of said county to her during her natural life ...." -- Terry Family -- Lewis Terry Will, http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~troy/terry/lewis_will.html Nancy Terry Birth 1800 in Pendleton County, Anderson, South Carolina Death 1886 in Georgia Marriage 20 Jul 1828 Habersham County, Georgia to Thomas Carder Birth 1805 in Pendleton, Anderson, South Carolina Death Bef. 1860 in Murray County, Georgia -- Ray Mueller, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/45346682/person/6349159498 The place of birth for both of them in this genealogy is strange. Anderson is a city, but also the name of a county created out of Pendleton District. Anderson is in the present-day county of Anderson. Pendleton was never the name of a town, as far as I know. This genealogy provides no documentation, but the details seem to indicate it is based on family knowledge of records. Note, however, that the birth date reported here is 1800, while her age in the censues makes her birth about 1813! As we probe details, reliability becomes lower. The death date reported for Nancy is incorrect, since she applied for widow's military pension in 1889. When her grave was found after a memorial was posted on Find a Grave in 2011 (accessed in 2015), we see these dates are on the grave. The military pension request below from 1889 matches her also. But there is one clue that indicates it could be a different person. She filed in Georgia, but her husband Thomas Carder is reported to have served in the Tennessee Mounted Infantry, which seems less likely than our Nancy's husband, whose residence records rported in South Carolina and Georgia. In 1860, they were in Murray County, Georgia.

There is a discrepancy in the age of Nannie between the 1900 and 1910 censuses. In 1900 she is reported as 16 years old, and this matches the birth date given in the census, March 1884. 1900 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 8 June, McDonald, District 71, Page 5B, House #86, Fam #89 Terry, Thomas D Head M W Jun 1857 42 Married 20 yrs GA SC NC Farmer Terry, Mattie Wife F W Nov 1861 38 Married 20 yrs 10 children/6 living NC NC NC Terry, Nannie Dau F W Mar 1884 16 Single GA GA NC At School Nannie was married in 1907 to John Fincher..

This was the first indication I had found of any marriage. No searches have turned up any information or person named Lawton. But her grandmother Martha Wall Terry's obituary, which was discovered in 2017, reported Nannie as a surviving daughter under the name Nannie Fain, Lawton. Her sister's notation on the back of her early photo may have meant this was Nannie in Lawton, where she lived. A marriage record for a Nannie Terry with a Jum Fain was finally found in February 2018, based on this name in her mother's obituary. The record, however, was in Bell County, Texas. This was not out of the question, since some of the same Terry family had moved to nearby counties in the 1800s. Nannie's parents had lived in McLennan County, then moved back to Georgia after Nannie's older sister Jennie was born in Texas.

Only in September 2015, did a search on the growing online library of Ancestry.com turn up a Social Security record in a recently-added record set. This reported that Social Security records had a different name for her, but confirmed it was the same person, with the parents' names as known in family information and other records. Here Nannie Jane is called Annie Jane. A second married name is also discovered here, with a name change reported in her record in December 1943 to Annie Jane Madison. These clues gave us her and her second husband's grave memorials in Find a Grave. It is interesting that her Social Security records do not reflect her first marriage to (Unknown First Name) Lawton. This is probably because she did not apply for a Social Security account until after his death, and she applied in her maiden name. In the 1940 census she was reported as Nannie Madison, but in 1950 she signed the order for her husband's military gravestone as Mrs Annie Jane Madison. No record has been found for Nannie/Annie in the Social Security Death Index. Note that the following SS record has no death date.

The following excellent piece describes a collection of historical errors that came into various records through presentation of erroneous family memory presented by a descendant as historical fact, without verificaton by the Sons of the American Revolution. Margie Brown has done a wonderful job of analyzing and clarifying some problems in Terry Family history caused by this erroneous information being repeated and passed on again without verification by others. --------------------------------------- Genealogy vs Mythology By Margie Brown a descendant of Nathaniel and Sarah Royall Terry I would like to address three problems with the Terry information that is usually available about Nathaniel Terry & the Terry genealogy. The great pictures of the MEMORIAL stones submitted for the Terry Cemetery.and transcribed inscriptions and photographs used with permission of the contributor is appreciated. The TERRY genealogy has nothing to do with the contributor. The contributor just copied what was there. The article below will cite the documents listed at the bottom of this article for your easy reference. 1st. problem: Nathaniel Terry [Sr] did not have Revolutionary War service. The stone that was put in place in 1939 in what was then The Thompson Cemetery, was awarded by the Federal Government for Nathaniel´s [Sr] service in the French and Indian War. The revolutionary War service that is cited, is for the service of his son Nathaniel D. Terry [Jr]. Nathaniel D. Terry and his wife Ann (Thompson) left Halifax county circa 1822 and went to Todd County, Ky., where he received a pension for that service, he dying testate in 1837. His widow Ann (Thompson) received a widows pension #W-3054 on Nathaniel D. Terry [Jr], and continued to do so until her death in March of 1860. The Military Secretary´s Office in a letter dated June 29, 1906, stated `` Nothing has been found of record to show that any other soldier named Nathaniel Terry was a member of any organization of Virginia or Continental troops in service during the revolutionary war.´´ Nathaniel [Sr´s] contribution to Halifax Co. and the Colony of Virginia is illustrious, he was born in 1724 and died in 1780, at the age of 56. In the twenty eight years that he was a resident of Halifax, he was sheriff in 1752, justice 1752 - 1780, member of the House of Burgessess 1758 - 1764 and again in 1769 - 1776 and the House of Delegates 1776 - 1778. His further exploits in the French and Indian Wars can be found in Henning´s Statues. He was commissioned as Captain of the Rangers while still a resident of Lunenburg County, and was the builder of forts across Halifax County, Fort Trial, Mayo Fort, Hickey´s Fort and Blackwater Fort. 2nd. Problem: The placement of the pictured stone in 1939, was in the Old Thompson Cemetery. This property did not come into the Thompson family until after the 1806 estate settlement. In 1939 with Terrys being buried there, the DAR ladies made a reasonable choice and there was a Terry connection. Royall Terry, a grandson, [through the son William Terry] of Nathaniel and Sarah (Royall) Terry had married his first cousin, Susannah Foster Thompson, a daughter of James and his wife Mary (Terry) Thompson a daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah Terry. Susannah F. did not live long after the 1820 marriage, and died leaving one son James Edward Terry. At the death of Mary (Terry) Thompson in 1848 and James Thompson in 1854, Royall and his son continued to live on the Thompson property as James Edward inherited one third of the Thompson estate. James Edward Terry married 1849 in Campbell co, Va. Maria Agnes Bailey, and they were the parents of Elizabeth Terry married J. C. Epps, William H. Terry went to Texas where he married Jeffersonia Mc C ?? (unreadable), Edward Lewis Terry married Maud Tatum, Howson B. Terry married Effie Tatum, Robert C. Terry married Claudine Miller and Catherine D. Terry who married Charles A. Bates. (Terry Bible record). These are some of the Terry´s buried in the Thompson cemetery today. I will cite from the dower settlement after the death of Sarah (Royall) Terry in 1805. Halifax Co. Va. Plea Bk #24, pages 250 -259, for therein lie the clues of the original cemetery on Nathaniel´s [Sr] Bannister River property and correctly identifies all of his children. My sincere hope is that someone interested in the true history of Halifax Co., and is familiar with the area, will find what might be the oldest cemetery in the county. The oldest son and heir-at-law at the time of the death of Nathaniel Sr. was William Terry and the only child mentioned in the 1780 Will. In 1806, after the death of Sarah Royall Terry, all of the children are named, Nancy Terry wife of Berryman Green, William Terry, Joseph Terry, Polly Terry wife of James Thompson, Robert Terry, Sarah Terry wife of Kibble Terry and the children of Elizabeth Dickerson Terry [deceased] wife of John Martin . After the division of the slaves, a division of the land was made, and a land Plat was included. William Terry [Plea Bk 24 page 256] received the first choice, and choose lot # 1 containing four acres and the dwelling house. This would have been the premier piece, ergo it had to be the value of the house. The other lots were from 80 acres to 45 acres. William Terry was born in 1749 and married in 1771 Susannah Thompson. William Terry was a Revolutionary War soldier, and at his death in 1810 was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. His widow Susannah (Thompson) Terry collected a pension # W - 4196, and both she and William died testate in Halifax. Susannah lived until 1845 in the dwelling house chosen as first choice by her husband. At her death her sons Henry Terry (whose first wife was also a daughter of James and Polly Terry Thompson but left no issue by her) and Royall Terry who were the only surviving sons, entered into an agreement with Robert H. Spencer on the 19th May 1846 to wall the graveyard on that 4 acres. In August of 1846 [Deed Bk 51 p 430] they sold the property to Wm H. Clark. In this deed , line 27, ``the graveyard on the four acres excluded.´´ Signed by Royall Terry. From letters written by Green descendants in 1938 and 39, they admittedly did not know, almost 160 years later, where Nathaniel and Sarah were buried nor know their ages. Knowing that there were Terrys buried in the Thompson cemetery, they obviously decided to place the stones there. I do not fault them and I am glad they honored our ancestors, but that also has stopped the search for the true resting place. The first plat is from the Plea book 24 page 259, the second plat was done as a favor for me by Roger Dodson of Pittsylvania county, and his notes are self explanatory. For anyone who chooses to search for this old graveyard, it sits across Rt #360 from the home of the late Albert High. The two houses that sit very close together, are on the four acre tract. It appears that Rt. #360 coming up the hill from Terry´s bridge, did not cut into the tract but followed the old road, up the ``teapot spout.´´ I do not know if there were ever stones in this cemetery and it would be overgrown and heavily silted after more than 200 years, and would needed to be probed for underground stones, but wouldn´t it be wonderful if there were. I would imagine that a portion of the stone wall might be found, and be mistaken for the foundation of an old house. 3rd. problem: It is unlikely that the wife of Benjamin Terry who died in Pittsylvania Co. in 1771, was an Irby, and if she were, then she was not likely to be the mother of Nathaniel Terry Sr. The naming pattern of the descendants is exceedingly strong, and would indicate his mother was a Dickerson. Nathaniel Sr´s daughter Elizabeth was Elizabeth Dickerson (Terry) Martin and she named a son William Dickerson Martin and lived in S.C. Berryman and Nancy (Terry) Green named a daughter Elizabeth Dickerson Green, they remained in Halifax. William and Susanna (Thompson) Terry named a son Dickerson Terry, they remained in Halifax. Nathaniel Dickerson and Ann (Thompson) Terry named a son Nathaniel Dickerson Terry, they moved to Todd co, Ky. James and Mary ``Polly´´ (Terry) Thompson named a daughter Elizabeth Dickerson Thompson, and had a grand-daughter Elizabeth Dickerson Thompson, they remained in Halifax. Robert and Nancy Hopkins (Smith) Terry named a son Nathaniel Dickerson Terry, they removed to Henderson Co., Ky. Kibble and Sarah (Terry) Terry, never had issue and Sarah died 1853/54 in Bedford Co., Tn. Joseph Terry married Sarah Coleman (Williams) widow of James Hill, and their son Joseph Coleman Terry married his cousin Elizabeth Dickerson Green, they remained in Halifax county. I do not know of one Irby Terry out of this Terry family. I do know that Benjamin Terry Jr. with wife Elizabeth Parker Terry had a grandson named William Dickerson Terry son of Obediah Parker Terry. I suggest that the mnemonic naming pattern is very strong in this family, that it would have been highly unusual to name a wife with her maiden name in a 1771 Will, that the original Will is no longer available, and that Charles Edward Terry a Kentucky descendant of Robert and Nancy (Smith) Terry, made notes in the late 1930´s that the original Will was torn, and there were additions made in a different handwriting, and only in the first portion of the Will, where ``my wife Elizabeth´´ ends the line, does it appear that someone has added the Irby. I will let each person make their own decision, but with lack of other evidence we should not assign a last name to her unless it includes ``probable´´. Even Mr. Eggleston, president of Virginia Historical Society, in 1941 has used "probably Irby," based on oral tradition out of southside Virginia, but that probably has been dropped and now repeated as a given. It is not, it is very questionable and as a descendant, I will use ``probably a Dickerson." The Terry Family Bible was purchased by Nathaniel Terry Jr. at the 1806 estate sale and was taken to Logan/Todd county, Kentucky. It was presented in Robertson Courthouse TN., as late as 1855. It is unknown where it is today, but a transcription from a grandson Robert Y. Lewis, is available at the TN State Archives. In the early part of the 1900´s a descendant out of one of the sons of Nathaniel Sr., who was from Virgina, mistakenly joined the SAR on the service of Nathaniel Terry Jr, whom he did not descend from, he named a Miss Smith as Nathaniel Sr´s wife when Nancy Hopkins Smith was the wife of Nathaniel´s son Robert, and continued on back to Benjamin Terry who died in 1771, naming apparent siblings of his greatgrandfather, James A. Terry and Diana Royall Terry as the parents of Benjamin. This has never been proven by any document and was done from family lore, but is often repeated. I am grateful for every bit of information left by descendants that came before me, even when it has proven incorrect, as it is that data that provides the building steps to get it right. We have access to materials today that were not available to those who went before us, census, military records, social security records, etc. They only had memory and love of family and I salute them for that, but I would hope that if they were here today, they would say ``I didn´t know that, thank you for clearing THAT up.´´ -- Margie Brown, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~vahalifa/_/GenealogyMythology.htm --------------------------------------- The following application for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution has the correct generations and spouses as noted in the above treatise by Margie Brown.

In January 2010, Jack Wilson pointed me to the 1900 and 1910 censuses, where he had found Charlie and Olive. The 1900 census reports that they had been married 15 years, which would date the marriage in about 1885.

The name Ouida is pronounced "Wee-duh." I recall hearing about Aunt Ouida, though I don't remember ever meeting any of Julia Virginia's family. In the 1900 census the writing looks like Orda. It could be a closed E that is somewhat flattened; it looks somewhat like other E's in names on that census sheet. Perhaps the spelling intended in 1900 was also Oeda. 1900 Census, Murray County, Georgia, McDonald District, District 71, Page 5B, House #86, Family #89 Terry, Thomas D Head M W Jun 1857 42 m-20-yrs GA SC NC Farmer Terry, Mattie Wife F W Nov 1861 38 m-20-yrs NC NC NC Terry, Oeda [Ouida] Dau F W July 1899 11mo s GA GA NC The name is written on the back of a family picture (in the possession of Aretha Tucker Jenkins) is spelled Wedia.

Georgia is reported here as Ouida's place of birth by this census. But the family are in Marlow by 1900. Ouida married Edward P Hill. It appears that they moved to Georgia soon after marriage. It appears to be them in Georgia in the 1920 census, and I have not found any matching couple appears in the 1920 Oklahoma census. The census was taken at Camp Benning, which probably explains the location. Edward was likely in the service during WWI, and stationed at Camp Benning. Upon release they moved back home to Oklahoma. 1920 Census, Camp Benning, Georgia, 8 January, Harper Mill District, District 29, page 2B, Hse #68, Fam #70 Edward P Hill Head M W 21 OK AR AR Sergeant, US Army Ouida was listed as in Hse #69, Fam #70 They are back in Stephens County, Oklahoma in 1930. According to the 1930 census, they married when he was 20 and she was 19. This matches with their ages in 1920 with Edward age 21 and Ouida age 20. The gap widens in 1930, when they are 35 and 30 respectively. 1930 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 21 April, Hope Township, District 8, page 6B, Hse #114, Fam #119 Edward P Hill Head M W 35 married at age 20 OK AR AR Farmer Ouida Hill Wife F W 30 married at age 19 GA GA FL Edward P Hill Jr Son M W 7 OK OK GA Virginia L Hill Dau F W 7 OK OK GA Note that her mother's birthplace is said to be Florida, the first time I have seen that. 1940 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 26 April, Richland Township, District 69-24, Page 10A, Hse #171, Rents $5 Hill, Edward P Head F W 41 Married Grade H1 b Oklahoma Stephens Co in 1935 Farmer Hill, Ouida Mae Wife F W 47 Married Grade H2 b Georgia Stephens Co in 1935 Hill, Edward P Jr M W 17 Single Grade H4 b Oklahoma Stephens Co in 1935 Farm Laborer Hill, Virginia Lee Dau F W 17 Single Grade H4 b Oklahoma Stephens Co in 1935 I have wondered about Ouida's middle name Mayfield. A surname as a middle name usually indicates an ancestor surname, often on the mother's side of the family. I have not found a Mayfield in either the Wall or the Terry line. Ouida's sister Julia Virginia gave the names of her family members to my mother Lou Ila Gregory Jenkins in about 1955. The information from this list says Ouida gives Ouida's middle name as Mayfield. Note that her middle name in the 1940 census was Mae, which could be short for Mayfield. Julia Virginia gives Ouida's birth date as was born on 17 July 1899. This is also the date on her grave. This SS record may be for another Ouida Hill. I am aware of another Ouida born married to an Edward Hill in Virginia. This Ouida was born in Virginia. I have not seen a record with a middle name or initial for her. There is also some connection to Hawaii, so this may be the Virginia Ouida Hill's record. But many genealogies of this same Terry family reference this record as the report of Ouida Mayfield Terry Hill's death. --------------- Ouida Mayfield Terry Hill Birth Jul. 17, 1899 Death Mar. 9, 1986 Parents: Thomas Duncan Terry (1857 - 1935) Martha Wiley Wall Terry (1859 - 1932) Spouse Edward P.

But in 1930, J W, age 17, and his two younger sisters Juanita & Ida May were reported born in Texas, while the younger children were born in Oklahoma. Owen and Maggie's marriage record has not been found. Looking at the pattern of migration and residence for other Terry family members, it looks like Owen and Maggie moved to Oklahoma after the birth of Ida May (Mae) in about 1917. In the 1920 census, Charlie Collins is probably Owen's cousin. Owen's mother was Phoebe Collins. 1930 Federal Census, Beckham County, Oklahoma, 15 April, Buffalo, District 5-3, page 3B, Hse #52, Fam #54 Terry, Owen Head M W Owns $25 41 Married Age at first marriage 21 [mar abt 1909] TN TN TN Farmer [b abt 1889] Terry, Maggie Wife F W 36 Married Age at first marriage 16 [mar abt 1910] TX MO MO [b abt 1884] Terry, J W Son F W 17 TX TN TX Farm Laborer [b abt 1913] Terry, Juanita F W 15 TX TN TX Farm Helper [b abt 1915] Terry, Ida Ma[e] Dau F W 12 TX TN TX Farm Helper [b abt 1917] Terry, Weldon Dau M W 11 OK TN TX Farm Helper [b abt 1919] Terry, Foy Dau F W 7 OK TN TX [b abt 1923] Terry, Vasta Lee Dau F W 5 OK TN TX [b abt 1925] Terry, No First Name [W O] Son M W 2yrs3mos OK TN TX Farm Helper [b abt Jan 1928] Terry, Harvy [sic] Nephew M W 20 TX TN TX Farm Laborer [b abt 1910] Terry, Raymond Nephew M W 15 TX TN TX Farm Laborer [b abt 1915] 1940 Federal Census, Beckham County, Oklahoma, 10 April, Buffalo Township, District 5-3, page 4A, Hse #64, Owns $200 Terry, Owen Head M W 52 Married Grade 4 b Tennessee Same house in 1935 farmer Terry, Maggie M Wife F W 46 Married Grade 7 b Texas Same house in 1935 Terry, Foy J D Son M W 17 Single Grade 8 b Okla Same house in 1935 Farm Laborer Terry, E Vostilee Dau F W 15 Grade 8 b Okla Same house in 1935 Farm Laborer Terry, W O Son M W 12 Single Grade 5 b Okla Same house in 1935 Terry, Leon W Son M W 9 Single Grade 1 b Okla Same house in 1935 Norton, Eligha [Elijah?] E Uncle M W 79 Widowed Grade 1 b Okla Same house in 1935 U.S., World War II Draft Registration Cards, 1942 Owen (No Middle Name) Terry Age 54 Birth Date 10 Mar 1888 Residence Rt 1, Mayfield, Beckham County, Oklahoma Self-employed Farmer Contact Mrs Francis Jarnigan, Mayfield, Oklahoma 6' 180 lbs Blue Eyes, Gray Hair, Ruddy Complexion Registered (no date entered) Sayre [Beckham County], Oklahoma ---------------- Owen Terry Birth Mar 10, 1888 Lynnville, Giles County, Tennessee, USA Death Nov 7, 1973 Beckham County, Oklahoma, USA Parents: James Levi Terry (1863 - 1937) Phoebia J Collins Terry (1861 - 1900) Spouse Maggie Mae Terry (1893 - 1957) Daughter Ella Vastalee Terry Hicks (1925 - 2016)* Siblings: Henry Clay Terry (1883 - 1971) Willie Mae Terry Snow (1891 - 1918) Flora Jane Terry Beesinger (1893 - 1971) Curtie Terry Hill (1896 - 1977) Homer Harvey Terry (1900 - 1944) Frances Bethena Terry Bailey (1903 - 1939) Half-sibling Neoma Terry Logan (1905 - 1982) Half-sibling Herbert Francis Terry (1907 - 1967) Half-sibling Charlie Terry (1912 - 1991) Half-sibling Orville W.
