Notes

  • "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 birth of Maggie in Missouri indicates that Hettie and Robert moved to Missouri for a short time then back to Oklahoma.  Likely Robert died in Oklahoma.  Sebastian County is across the border in Arkansas.  There was a lot of movement of Terrry family members across the border between LeFlore County, Oklahoma, and Sebastian and neighboring Counties in Arkansas.

    In 1930, Maggie and her brother were enumerated under their stepfather's surname of Trotter.
