Notes

  • In the 1850 census we find the whole family with all their names for the first time.

    1850 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 14 November, page 236 (264), Hse/Fam #621

    Joseph Terry 12 M  GA
    George Terry 6 M  GA
    Martha Terry 2 F  GA

    From family sources we know that her husband Duncan died in October 1862.  They are together in the 1860 census when she is listed as Wyzitta, wife of Duncan Terry.

    1860 Federal Census, Murray County, Georgia, 26 July, Georgia MilitiaDistrict 1013, PO Hoplers Mills, page 92-93, Hse #653, Fam #624

    Duncan L 3 M Georgia

    In 1870 Wyzetta is listed as Wysetty Terry, age 55, and in charge ofa household, although her occupation is shown as "Keeping House."  Athome with here are children Mary E age 19, Lewis A age 17 and DuncanL age 15.  They are living two houses down from Joseph W Terry and his wife Joanna (Hanna) and their children.

    Death is presumed to have occurred in Oklahoma.  The date or place isnot reported by family sources, but it is known the family moved to Oklahoma, and children of her son Duncan Lafayette Terry died there.
