Notes
- -----------------------
I am the great-granddaughter of Mary Jane Terry Jett 1877-1897. Her family goes back to parents Miles and Luraney Johnson Terry, grandparents Isaac and Barbara Gabbard Terry, and then great-grandparents Thomas Miles Terry 1797-1852 who was married to Martha Jane or Patsy Johnson in Breathitt County. This Thomas Miles was child of Miles B. or Devil Jet and Hannah Horton. Siblings were Rachel, Annie, Leonard, and Susanna Elizabeth.
It is the story that this Thomas Miles left Patsy and children and took off and remarried and had a different family up in Floyd County. I was just trying to be sure I had right person. I was also wondering about the name Devil Jett as I am a Jett but not sure why or what Devil Jett means. No insult but my Grandmother said we were not that old bad Curt Jett's bunch and I know she meant the feuding and killing Curtis Jett. I do not think he was related (well, not any more closely than us) to Devil Jet.
