Note that the 1900 census has added 16 years of marriage from the report in 1900. From the ages of children, the report in 1900 looks more correct. I see in the 1910 census, George's middle initial has changed from B to L. Daughter Jessie, who would be about 14 or 15, is not listed. She may be married. John is now listed as Dewey.

1920 Federal Census, Johnson County, Arkansas, 31 January, Pilot Rock, District 64, page 9A, Hse/Fam #142
Terry, Jack H Head Owns M W 66 AR KY MS Farmer
Terry, Margaret C Wife F W 54 AR KY KY
Terry, Allen E Son M W 23 Single AR AR KY [sic]
Terry, Dewey Son M W 19 Single AR AR KY [sic]
Terry, Maggie Dau F W 17 Single AR AR KY [sic]

In this 1920 record, the child first reported as John is now Dewey. The enumerator has put the wrong state of birth for the mother of the children, somehow using Kentucky, instead of Arkansas, where Margaret Catharine was born. There are similar errors in other families on the page, where he has drawn down the birth state of the parent's mother or father instead of the parent here. Jack's mother Margaret is no longer with them, which seems to indicate she passed away sicne the 1910 census. I have not found information on her death and burial.
