Thomas Lewis Terry Bible, courtesy of Jacque Watkins, email September 2008:
Lewis Terry. b 1791 [differs from previous family sources: 1770] Virginia, d 6 August 1851; Nancy Conny Terry, b Virginia [no date], d 1864.
A few genealogies report that Connie's last name was Walker. I have found no documentation on her maiden name. All other genealogies I find lack any maiden name for her. An example follows.
Constance Walker
Birth 1765 in Virginia, Death 1864 in Georgia
Marriage to Lewis Terry
ABT 1809 Greenville, South Carolina

There is some important secondary evidence. Connie's son Joseph Lewis Terry named onof his sons William Walker Terry. The mother's maiden name is a common naming pattern to preserve a female line in a lineage. One of William Walker Terry's grandsons was also named the same.
"My great grandfather was William Walker Terry, I’m named after him. William Terry moved with the Wells family from Texas to Douglas AZ. You can find information regarding his side of the family at Wellsgazette.com. There is a family grave yard outside of Douglas. William Terry Sr [is] buried there."
