All factors considered at this point, the child seems to a son named Tommy. The Wells (Terry) genealogy reports a birth date of 26 July 1899 for Tommy. This is probably more correct that the 1898 date in the 1900 census.

They were also enumerated in Gila County near the center of the state. All the children and their ages match. But in this one Tommy is age 10 and is reported as a daughter and female! With two reports of being female, I will put it that way. Also here Tommy's mother 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. 1910 Federal Census, Gila County, Arizona Territory, 16 April, Globe, District 34, page 4A, 250 Bullion St, Hse #61, Fam #67 Terry, Ida M Head F W 34 Married 13 years 6 children/6 living TX TX TX No Occupation Terry, Tommy Dau F W 10 TX GA TX
Uriah is reported under a variations of his name. His grave has his name as Rier. In 1900 the census reported him as Riah, more recognizably a short form of Uriah. Rier is simply the local pronunciation of Riah, in the common faashion of adding r to words ending in a vowel. This shows up commonly in names like Ader (for AdaLavader (for Lavada), Rether (for Aretha), etc. The 1910 census has a more complete name, the Greek variation Urias of the Hebrew Uriah, known from the Old Testament. 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, apparently short for Uriah] 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 1910 Federal Census, Johnson County, Arkansas, 3 May, Pilot Point Township, District 63, page 7A, Ft Douglas and Local Rd, Hse #107, Fam #110 Terry, William Head M W 55 Marriage 1 Married 44 yrs [abt 1866] AR KY KY Farmer Owns [b abt 1845] Terry, Ursula J Wife F W 63 Marriage 1 Married 44 yrs [abt 1866] 8 children/6 living AR TN MO [b abt 1848] Terry, Urias [Rier, name on his grave] Son M W 21 Single AR AR AR [b abt 1889] Terry, Gus Son M W 17 Single AR AR AR [b abt 1893] Terry, Captain Son M W 14 Single AR AR AR [b abt 1896] ------------------- Rier Terry Birth Oct 12, 1888 Arkansas Death Dec 19, 1958 Johnson County, Arkansas Son of William and Jane (Self) Terry.

Eugene's granddaughter Sharon gave me the names of her father and grandparents, reporting her father's name as Eugene. I also found a 1912 family photograph that Sharon had posted online, with notes in which she says her father was born in 1924. We later corresponded by email. "My father went by Eugene Terry (also "Gene" and "Cherokee"). We were told his birth name was Washington but that he never wanted to use it. ... My paternal grandparents were Joe Terry and Carrie Belle Lovin Terry. Their children were Elsie, Myrtle, Gertie, Leo, Otto, Augusta, Gladys, Eugene, Agnes and Robert (Bobby)." -- Sharon Terry, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 14 March 2016 At least one genealogy cites the California Death Index, which reports that the mother of Eugene Terry, born in Oklahoma 22 Feb 1924 had the maiden name Lovin.

For some reason there is no child in the 1930 census to match Eugene, who should be 6 years old at that time. If this California report is indeed the for the correct Eugene Terry, where was Eugene in 1930? California death records also report a Bobby Ray Terry, whose mother was named Lovin, who was born in 1924. This Bobby also is missing from the 1930 census.

-------------------------- Terry Genealogy & History Terry has the distinction of having over a hundred spelling variations, including Tarry, Theuret, Theike, Thiele, Thierry, Thoreau, Tieck, Tietze, Tilke, Tillich, and Torry. Derived from the middle English given-name "Thierri," which was derived from Old Norman given-name "Theodoric," Terry means powerful. Alternatively, in Old French, "thierri" is a potter. The Terry/Thierry form is generally English; Terry family history traces back to a feudal manor in Kent, where the Thierry family was granted lands by the Earl of Pembroke in the 1130s or 1140s. Simultaneously in Ireland, Terri branches settled in Cork and Torrie/Torry branches in Waterford. American Terry family history dates from 1630 in New England. -- Archives, https://www.archives.com/genealogy/family-history-terry.html -------------------------- 1861 England Census, Surrey County, St Giles Parish, Camberwell, page 31, Hse #167, 8 Edmond St William Terry Head Married 29 M Groom b Surrey, Camberwell Sarah Terry Married 38 F b Middle Westminster William Terry, Birth 1625 in Kent, England, Death 1680 in England; Parents unknown; wife unknown; Son William Terry, Birth 1650 in England, Death 1700 in Lunenburg, Lunenburg, Virginia -- Bratcher, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/901974/person/6038707948 Several genealogies of different lineages that include the Terry family include this record as referring to William Terry b 1849-50, and his arrival from England into the colony of Virginia. I have seen no discussion or other substantiation to establish that this is the correct William Terry. I am including this record in courtesy of those who may know more about this era of the Terry line than I do at this time, and for the historical reference. Our Terry family (William Barney of South Carolina, son of Lewis Terry) have the family tradition that they came from Ireland, so this may not be the correct Terry antecedent. Or there may be an earlier connection to Ireland, which could quite likely be the case. We do know our Terrys were in the Virginia and the Carolinas before the American Revolution. While this record reports arrival in 1679, another arrival record for a William Terry in Virginia is dated 1679. Alternative birth dates for William are 1635 and 1649-50.

It is possible that the James and Thomas Terry in King William Co. are the same people that are listed in the New Kent Co. Roll as James Tyrrey and Thom Tyrey, for both were land speculators. From the amount of land William Terry was holding, it appears that he was a wealthy man - at least at that time, for money was very scarce in the Colonies. James and Thomas Terry received land fo rtransporting "persons" to the Colony. At the time anyone paying the 6 Pounds Sterling for the trip to the colony of Virginia would receive 50 acres of land. For those who could not pay there was the alternative of selling their services for a period from 4 to 7 years and the one who paid for the transportation would receive the land. The Terrys transported a good number of indentured servants to the Colonies and therefore had to be men of wealth.The first Terry land record is for John Terry - "200 acres of land being upon the main branch of Powell Creek in the County of James City, 6 July 1648." (Book 2, p. 144) The next entries were for Thomas Torroy, north of Mattapony River and John Torry, Charles City Co., in 1686, Stephen Terry, 335 acres in Pamunkoy-nock, King and Queen Co., 1702, and JamesTerry, 1701 and 1704 land in New Kent Co., Parish of St. Peters and St. John Parish in Pamunky-nock. Therefore, it is probable that James, Stephen and Thomas were brothers. Reference Number:4720 ----------------------

William Terry Birth 1724 in Orange, Virginia Death 1803 in Botetourt, Virginia Father William Terry Birth 1700 Virginia, Death 1744 in Botetourt, Virginia Mother Unknown Spouse Rachel Manson Birth 1730 in Botetourt, Virginia Death 1766 in Botetourt, Virginia Son Miles B "Devil Jett" Terry Birth 1762 in Botetourt, Virginia Death 30 Jan 1810 in Botetourt, Virginia -- Bowman-Eledge, http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/52490177/person/13391112862 A record collection reports William's son Miles, reported in the genealogy above, was born in 1750, but reports his mother as Rachel Manson. Records indicate his father did not marry Rachel Manson until 1759. Other genealogies also report chidlren born on dates before Rachel's marriage to William. Other sources report that William was first married to a Cheraw Indian woman named Cheepoake Harris. The tribal name is found as Seraw or Saurain in early Virginia and North Carolina records. Cheepoake died "when Miles was a baby," which could be from 1850 for a few years. The term "baby" I have seen used for 6 and 8-year-old chidlren. You would think William would remarry pretty quickly after the death of his wife. With that in mind, we can think that Cheepoake died as late as 1758, a few months before the reported remarriage by William in February 1759 (if that is the sme William Terry). "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. Cheraw Cheepoake was the first wife of fur tader William Terry of Botetourt County, Virginia. Only two of their children (Esther Terry and Miles "Devil Jett" Terry) had offspring. Cheepoake died when Miles was a baby, and William remarried." -- Cheepoake "Cheraw-Cherokee" Harris Terry, Geni, https://www.geni.com/people/Cheepoake-Cheraw-Cherokee-Harris-Terry/6000000045614461881?through=6000000014630414171 The above source provides a profile of Cheepoake Harris Terry.

No dates are reported. A marriage record found more recently reports they were married in 1759, but the place is in Pennsylvania. This Terry family is associated with Lunenburg County, Virginia, which is in South Central Virginia (would have been southeastern Virginia in the pre-Civil War era, before West Virginia seceded form Virginia). It lies one county above the North Carolina border to the south. It is noted in sources, however, that Rachel Manson was born in Botetourt County, where she and William Terry are known to have lived, and where they both died. At least one son, Miles, was born in Botetourt County. This county is in the center of the old colony-state of Virginia, now in the west near West Virginia. It may be that some historical sources with minimal information have linked our Rachel Manson and William Terry to a different similar couple in Philadelphia. On the other hand, we recall that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was center of commerce, society and politics in the colonies, and soon became the capital of the new United States a few years after their marriage. Being prominent landholders and influential in colonial affairs, this William Terry may have been in Philadelphia regularly. Pennsylvania, Compiled Marriage Records, 1700-1821 Rachel Manson Spouse William Terry Marriage 3 Feb 1759 Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania This record is only a list of names and dates in a typed compilation in a publication of the transcribed record of Christ Church, Philadelphia, 1709-1806,, with no further information to identify the listed. William Terry was a common name in this line of Terrys, and occurs in other Terry families that show no connection with these Terrys in this era. The following military record, spars as it is in details, appears to be for William Terry who was born in 1730 in Orange County, Virginia and died in Botetourt County of the same state. Virginia, Compiled Census and Census Substitutes Index, 1607-1890A William Terry 1785 Tax list, Capt Easons County Township, Botetourt County, Virginia From Virginia Early Census Index William's death is reported to have occurred in Botetourt County. But a burial record that appears to match him, and is attached to him in some genealogies, reports his burial in a family cemetery, presumably on Terry family land, in neighboring Bedford County. Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots William Terry Burial Family Cemetery, Oakwood, northern Bedford, Bedford Co, Virginia Some sources report different dates from the major old record compilations, which are used by most genealogies that clearly follow this Terry lineage. The following Find a Grave profile has different dates, and this may indicate only the uncertainty of dates in that era. This FAG memorial reports the same wife, Rachel Manson, with the same dates, and reports that the place of birth for both is unknwon, and may have been either Virginia or North Carolina. The reported occupation as a trapper seems somewhat out of line with what else we know of William and Rachel, but is not impossible. It may be, however, that two diffeerent individuals or Terry lineages have been confused hee. Another indication of this is the geneallogy included below which hs the sme dates we have, and locates William's death in Botetourt and provides informatoin abotu his estate there. But it also has a diferent name for his wife, Rachel Mordock. This warrants investigatoin as a possible avenue to clrity.But the location. Note that the FAG memorial reprots that William's parentage is unknown, whicle the genealogy below reports the normal paretnage of William Terry I (or Sr) and reports his mother as Keziah Sarah (no maiden name), wheras most genealogies have no name for William's mother. -------------------------- William Terry Birth 1710 Botetourt County, Virginia, USA Death 1792 Surry County, North Carolina, USA Parents unknown. The above dob & dod are approximate, the best information we have at present. Some sources say he died in NC, some say in VA. His surname is alternately spelled Terriy or Terry. He was a fur trader. William married Cheepoake Harris in NC. Their known children were Isabell & Esther, & possibly Jasper, Miles & William. Isabell & Esther both married men surname Burris. Some researchers claim that after Cheepoake's death, William married again. I have no information to say whether this is true or not, and no name of a possible 2nd wife, so cannot confirm or deny it. William Terry & Cheepoake Harris have many descendants who have tried to get more information about them, but we have found nothing further.

Thie following genelaogy reports the same list of children shown in genealogies that have the dates given in the above FAG profile for Wililam Terry. William's fathe is also reported as William Terry Sr here as in the genealogies with the dates 1710-1792, and the same motehr, Keziah Sarah (no maiden name). Most genealoies have no name for the wife of William Terry Sr. There is on differtence her that may provide some guidance to clarifying the identities here, if two families have been confused in sources or genealogies. The name of William Terry's second wife here is Rachel Murdock, not not Rachel Manson, as other soruces report. This genealogy reports that Willam's death place is uncertain, as stated in the FAG above that has the other dates of birth and death. They share information on his fur trapping, etc, but differ on his wife's name. The following genealogy also references the above FAG for William, but adds info that matcehs the family line we know and the locatoin in Botetourt County.

Accounting for the second given name Davis, this genealogy also reports that William's mother was Celia "Sealy" Davis. Other facts, including those discussed above, indicate that WIlliam's father Isom Terry did not marry Sealy Davis until 1874, who was his 4th wife. This was 19 years after even this genealogy reports WIlliam was born! But this Moulder tree has Celia as the only wife of Isom, when family sources report reference to 5 wives, and we have the names of 4. Further, the Moulder tree reports that Isom married Celia Davis in 1850, while we have their marriage record from 1874 under her later married name Hanley. -- Moulder, http://person.ancestry.com/tree/49953487/person/28209421411/facts Perhaps there was a second son named William at that late stage, whose middle name was in fact Davis. No record we have seen has a middle name for this William born in 1855, whose birth date puts him in place as the second child of Isom and his first wife surnamed Hughes, whose given name has not been discovered. We note that in the 1860 census, the name of Isham's wife is not Celia or Sealy but Ceatta. See other discussoin on members of this family for the identity of Ceatha/Seatha, whom we identify as Seatha Slone. 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.

After starting with information from my Terry family sources and my personal knowledge, I discovered Terry family information on the Terry Family Website related to my lineage. Information from this source (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~troy/terry/) was originally correlated with Jenkins Family information. I then personally reviewed and transcribed the census entries. I found several spelling errors in the transcriptions on the Terry Family website. Other sources have been critically evaluated as discovered. New sources have been added and analyzed from our own family archives. -- Orville Boyd Jenkins -------------------------- Terry Genealogy & History Terry has the distinction of having over a hundred spelling variations, including Tarry, Theuret, Theike, Thiele, Thierry, Thoreau, Tieck, Tietze, Tilke, Tillich, and Torry. Derived from the middle English given-name "Thierri," which was derived from Old Norman given-name "Theodoric," Terry means powerful. Alternatively, in Old French, "thierri" is a potter. The Terry/Thierry form is generally English; Terry family history traces back to a feudal manor in Kent, where the Thierry family was granted lands by the Earl of Pembroke in the 1130s or 1140s. Simultaneously in Ireland, Terri branches settled in Cork and Torrie/Torry branches in Waterford. American Terry family history dates from 1630 in New England. -- Archives, https://www.archives.com/genealogy/family-history-terry.html -------------------------- Richard Bates has very good detail on this Terry family line and related families. He and a couple of others in the Bates line, who appear to have exchanged information or used the same family sources, report the name of this person as William Joseph Terry, Sr. Our family received the name as William Barney Terry. The name was reported by William's granddaughter, my grandmother, Julia Virginia (Jennie) Terry, in a comprehensive and fairly detailed list of names and information on her family. She did not know family names earlier than William Barney. Other than Bates reference and similar ones on some other undocumented genealogies, I have seen no record documenting the name William Joseph for my great great grandfather Terry. The marriage date from Jennie Terry led to the Georgia marriage record. The Georgia marriage record has Julia Roberts' name as Julian Robins. Georgia, Marriage Records From Select Counties, 1828-1978 William Terry Marriage 26 Jul 1838 Murray, Georgia Spouse Julian Robins It may be that William Joseph is actually the given name, and Barney was a nickname. If so, Jennie apparently did not know that. However, it seems unlikely he would be named Joseph, since he had a brother named Joseph Lewis (Louis) Terry. Further, Barney is documented in the family line, since William and Constance's son John R Terry named one of his sons Barney. He also named another son Joseph. C. Jennie had no birth or death dates for her Terry grandparents. We get approximate birth dates from the ages recorded in the censuses. 1850 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 11 November, Page 257, Hse/Fam #1521 William Terry 39 M Farmer $1175 Real Estate SC [born abt 1811] Jula [Julia] A Terry 26 F NC [born abt 1824] Dianna Terry 10 F GA [born abt 1840] Geoge [George] W Terry 8 M GA [born abt 1842] William J Terry 7 M GA [born abt 1843] Sirus [Cyrus] L Terry 5 M GA [born abt 1845] John R Terry -- M GA [born abt 1850] From the 1850 census, we can see that William was born about 1811. In September 2008, I get further details just discovered by another descendant and researcher on the Terrys. Jacque Watkins shared with me information from Thomas Lewis Terry's family Bible. This records an exact birth date for William, which is exactly the same as that of his brother George C Terry. Thus if this error is not an error, they were twins, which had not been indicated in any family sources. I had George's birthday already, and find that Thomas Lewis recorded same date of 21 July 1810 as William and George's birth date. He also reports they were born in South Carolina. This confirms earlier family information that the Lewis' were in Pendleton District, South Carolina, which I had as William Barney's birth place, before the Terrys moved to Georgia. 1860 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 26 July, Militia District 1013, PO Hopler's Mills, page 92, Hse #652, Fam #623 William Terry 49 M Farmer $5000 Real Estate $5000 Personal b SC Julia A Terry 37 F NC illiterate George W Terry 17 M Farm Laborer GA William J Terry 16 M GA Syrius [Cyrus] L Terry 14 M GA Mary Terry 8 F GA Martha C Terry 4 F GA Thomas D Terry 2 M GA Dialtha R Terry 1 F GA [matches Althia 1870, Altha 1880] Martha Corder [Carder] 15 F GA [Martha is a daughter of William's sister Nancy, whose husband had died.

He should be 10 years old in 1860. In early analysis I concluded he must have died between the 1850 and 1860 census. I did have him on the 1870 census, but his entry was not transcribed so it went unreported on this page. However, I later found him with his parents in the 1870 census and with his wife and family in the 1880 census. I do not know why he does not appear in the census of 1860. The last child's name was transcribed on the Terry Family Genealogy website as Deatha. The name is actually spelled Dialtha in the 1860 census. This appears to be the full form of the name entered in 1870 as Althia. In 1880, when at age 21 she is the oldest child still in the home, her name is entered as Altha. I do not have information for her after she married. In 1860 I find it interesting that living two doors down from William and Julia is a woman also named Dialtha. This is Dialtha Peck, wife of W W Peck, both born in Tennessee. I find it curious also that Mary Constance is the only child whose middle initial was not recorded. She is named Constance after her grandmother, wife of Lewis Terry. 1870 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 23 July, Spring Place, page 7, Hse/Fam #49 Terry, William 60 M W Farmer $6000 Real Estate $60 Personal b SC Cannot write Terry, Julia A 49 F W Keeping House NC Cannot read or write Terry, John R 20 M W Farm Laborer $125 Personal Estate b Georgia Can read and write Terry, Clorinda [Clarinda?] 15 F W GA Cannot write Terry, Thomas 13 M W GA Cannot write Terry, Althia 11 F W GA Cannot read or write Terry, Jesse 9 M W GA Can read and write Terry, Robert E L 5 M W GA Can read and write (?
