    This record tells us Major and Georgia were married in about 1899, or late 1898.

    In 1910, the youngest child was listed as M D, while his father is Major.  In the 1920 census, Douglas is listed as Major D, and his son as M D Jr.  This gives us the first name of both as Major.  Several genealogies including this family also list both men as Major Douglas Terry.
