Life History

Notes

• She was known as Maggie.  One would thus think her given name was Margaret.  However, no record refers to her as Margaret.  Her Social Security record names her Maggie Christine Mosely.
  
  "Duncan Lafayette Terry: I'm noticing on several family trees regarding Duncan Terry and Harriet Sliger that they are missing my grandmother.  My grandmother is Hettie Maye Terry Mosley Trotter [daughter of Duncan Lafayetter Terry and Harriet Sliger].  Her siblings were Ola, Donnie, Louis Alexander and William Lafayette.  She was born Dec 12, 1886 in Indian Territory, Oklahoma and died April 15, 1969 in Los Angeles, Calif.  She had 3 children, Olive Mosley, Maggie Mosley and Woodrow L Mosley (my father).

  The 1920 census tells us that Maggie was born in Missouri, while the sister before her and the brother after her were born in Oklahoma.   Likely her father Robert died in Oklahoma.  She was enumerated in the census with her mother and siblings in Sebastian County, Arkansas, across the border from LeFlore County, Oklahoma.  Terrys lived across the border between LeFlore County, Oklahoma, and Sebastian and neighboring Counties in Arkansas.
