Part Two: Descendants of Anthony M. TERRELL
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of a multi-part series on the ancestors and descendants of Anthony M. TERRELL. This pro-
ject was initiated by lifetime member, Mrs. Helen Nunnally in order to provide a complete record for her immediate line. Other
parts in later issues will contain more known descendants of Anthony M. TERRELL. This work is mostly information supplied to
Don C. Terrill and the Society by Mrs. Nunnally and her cousins. Numbers in super-script
following names refer to end notes indicat-
ing where Mr. Terrill received the information pertaining to that person. Information on the descendants of Martha TERRELL was
added by #492 Cheri Gentile. We thank her for her valuable contribution to this work. DFB
THANK YOU There are so many people who helped me pull this work together. I hereby acknowledge their contributions and express my heart-
felt thanks. It would take a book to name them all. I thank each and everyone of you.
To my husband, Jim, who gave up a lot of time. Who never questioned my spending in all my years of researching; and who, after
all these years, has "caught the genealogy bug."
To my father who always taught me to stick with anything I started and to my mother who gave me the love and support needed to
finish a job. I only wish that they could be here today to see the result of their efforts.
To Paul Dale WILSON, deceased, who furnished much of the SHIPP genealogy and leads. To. Billy Scattergood for getting me
started in this addictive hobby which is much loved by all who have caught the "bug."
To Don C. TERRILL, president of the Terrell Society of America, Inc. who took the information that I sent to him and entered it
into a computer genealogy program along with information that he had gleaned from other sources. His efforts via that program
provided the framework upon which this work has been built. Also for the hours that he spent searching census records which add
credence to this family history. This greatly simplified the task of compiling and editing this work by Dan BRINSON, secretary &
newsletter editor of the Terrell Society of America, Inc.
This could never have gone to print without the help of Bettie Lou COOPER Miller who came here to help me proof all of the ma-
terial that I had gathered. Thanks to Donnie L. COOPER who supplied information on the largest family in the John Wesley
TERRELL line. Thanks to all of the cousins that sent in what they had, what they knew of others, and who labored to acquire ma-
terial that I could not possibly have acquired without their help.
Terrell Trails

Lastly, this is not just my material. This contains material that has been submitted by a very large family. All have submitted this in
the name of love. For that, I thank each of you and hope you enjoy the finish of our "little" family. We have the most loving and
close-knit family that I have ever known.
Love, hugs, and blessings,
Helen TERRELL Nunnally & Jim NUNNALLY
Editor's note: Each person in this article has an individual number. Anthony M. TERRELL is number 1. Separate numbers are not assigned to
spouses. Numbers are assigned to children. When there is more information on the child a plus (+) appears before the number. Another
section beginning with that number contains additional information. The balance of the listing is in numerical order. For example, the numbering
skips from 1 (Anthony) to 3 (William, son of Anthony) because there is no more information on 2 (Jane, daughter of Anthony). Numbers in super
script after the first name are the number of generations this person is from Robert And Agnes of Hagbourne, England. Numbers in super script after the
surname of an individual is the number of an endnote indicating where Don C. Terrill obtained the information. Numbers beginning with "G" (G1-
-G26 for example) are descendents provided by Cheri Gentile and were not in Don's database. I added these numbers in case Cheri or another de-
scendant is able to continue those lines at a later date. DFB

NOTE FROM DON TERRILL: I did not find any part of this family in 1870 Tennessee censuses. Of course, no one knows better than I that many
persons are either skipped in the census or indexed so poorly that they cannot be located. I did not find Jerusha who is listed as Ruth in the 1860
Marshall Co. Alabama census anywhere.
TERRELL-TALLEY FAMILIES
From Cherokee County [TX] History This history must start with Anthony M. TERRELL and Willey TALLEY, and although their story is not unique either from those who lived in
yesteryears or those living today, it is an important part of the TERRELL history. One might say that it is the beginning.
Anthony M. TERRELL, Sr. (1790--1870) was b. in Virginia, according to Marshall County Ala. census records; and, although he is found on few
censuses, he seems to have children, but never a wife in the household. Of those there, one could have been his wife, but certainly would not have
been old enough to have been the mother of his children.
His love and concern for their welfare shows in his will, for he named most of his children, his grandchildren of his deceased children, and tells us
who they were with and where they resided, giving the county and state. Some were living with their mothers, others were with their grandparents.
No wife is mentioned, but estate papers name Jesse J. and wife Martha, Anthony Jr., deceased, (children named), William, deceased, (children
named), Elizabeth Peters, Jane Sandridge, and John TERRELL, a minor under the age of 14 living with mother Jerusha SHIPP Terrell in
Marshall Co. Ala.
Anthony M. TERRELL m. Willey TALLEY, daughter of Daniel TALLEY (b. in Virginia) in Halifax Co. VA., Oct. 30, 1817. In Daniel's will,
Halifax Co., VA, Will Book 13, pp, 348-386, he names wife, Mary Mickey Elizabeth Talley; sons Branch, Payton, Daniel, and daughters, Eliz-
abeth Nash, Mary Mickey Elizabeth Terrell, Willey Terrell, and the children of Rhoda Boyd (probably deceased). It is rumored that Willey
divorced Anthony and later married again but as of this date, it has not been proved factually.
There seems to be an unrevealed connection between the TALLEY, SHIPP, TERRELL, and BAILEY families. It is not without interest that
Daniel TALLEY's will named a William BAILEY of Virginia to act as security for the children of Rhoda Boyd. In Anthony TERRELL's will
[estate papers] Hiram BAILEY and James BAIN of Alabama were appointed by the court to see that the land was sold at a fair price. We know
that Hiram BAILEY of Alabama was the grandfather of Jerome BAILEY of Bullard.
Anthony has encouraged us to expend a little more energy in the future [present?] for the future and the past.
Generation No. 2 3. William11 TERRELL (Anthony M.10, Richard C.9, William8, James7, William6, Richmond5, Robert4 Tirrold, William3 Tyrrold, David2,
Robert1)4,5,6,7,8 was born Bet. 1818 - 1819 in Virginia, & died Before Apr 1870. He married Mary A. DUNCAN 21 Jan 1843 in Marshall Co, Ala.

5. Martha11 TERRELL (Anthony M.10, Richard C.9, William8, James7, William6, Richmond5, Robert4 Tirrold, William3 Tyrrold, David2,
Robert1)9,10,11 was born ca. 1826 in North Carolina, & died Before 1877 in Alabama. She married Jesse J. TERRELL 12 27 Mar 1851 in Marshall
Co., Ala (his second wife). He was born on 29 December 1820 in Virginia and died 16 April 1884 in Marshall County, Alabama. He
was buried in King's Chapel Cemetery, Guntersville, Alabama.. He was son of Charles R. TERRELL & Margaret "Peggy" WILLIAMS
according to information supplied by Mr. Max. Bryant (#366). Jesse married first Eliza J. THOMAS 8 Apr 1840, Marshall Co, Ala. She
must have died before 1850 as Jesse was in the household with his father in Illinois at the time of the 1850 census. It has always been a "family story" that Jesse J. TERRELL, son of Charles R. TERRELL married his first cousin, Martha TERRELL, daugh-
ter of Anthony M. TERRELL. Well, Martha would not have been Jesse J's first cousin, but would have been a first cousin one generation re-
moved. Many people get confused with this particular relationship. Max Bryant.
Cheri Gentile shared the following info about her attempt to locate King's Chapel Cemetery. Some time ago when I was doing Terrell re-
search on Guntersville , I talked to someone at the library about the King's Chapel Cemetery. Although this person was not able to
give me much information about the cemetery, he did give me the name of a "Miss Terrell" in Guntersville and said that she knew all
about the Terrell's from way back. He said she's probably in her 80's. Anyway he gave me a telephone number for her. I tried to con-
tact her a few times but wasn't successful. The number is (205) 878-5289.
+ 17 i. James Monroe12 TERRELL, born 1849 in Alabama. (son of Jesse and his first wife Eliza J. THOMAS)
Children of Martha TERRELL & Jessie TERRELL are:
+ 18 ii. Richmond/Richard M. TERRELL, born ca. 1852 in Alabama. Gentile has his name as Richard. Don Terrill comments: In
the 1860 census I copy as "Richmond", in the 1870 census I copy as "Richard", in the 1880 census I copy as
"Richard," in the 1900 census I cannot find him (yet). + 19 iii. Margaret C. TERRELL 13, born 1855 in Alabama. She married James TAYLOR; born 1849 in Alabama. See census be-
low.
+ 20 iv. Alan Brinsfield TERRELL, born 14 Mar 1858 in Gunterville, Marshall Co, Ala.; died 17 Dec 1933 in Texas.
21 v. George W. TERRELL, born October 1860 in AL. In the 1870 and 1880 George is listed in Jesse's household as his
son. In 1900 George is living in Marshall Co and says his date of birth is Oct 1860 (ED 94, S 12, L 79).
22 vi. Jesse D. TERRELL, born 1864 in Marshall Co, Ala. 1880 and 1900 census show him as Jesse D. Terrell
23 vii. Willie/Willine F. TERRELL, born 1868 in Marshall Co, Ala. "Willie" is a girl's name sometimes found in census rec-
ords; "Willine" is a one-of-a-kind. Don (Gentile lists name as Willine F. DFB)
Charles R. Terrell (1801-1860). is found in these census records:
1830 Va., Pittsylvania Co, p. 397
1840 Ala., Marshall Co, p. 107
1850 Illinois, Peoria Co, p. 231A:

Elizabeth 8 F W Ala. Editor's note: These 3 may be children of Jesse. I have
Susan 7 F W Ala. no later censuses to determine with whom they lived. DFB
James M. 1 M W Ala.
Don Terrill: I think this clearly establishes Jesse as the son of Charles; but what about James M. Terrell (age 1)? This could be seen
as establishing James as the son of Charles, but then Margaret/Peggy would be about age 51/52 at the time of James' birth (low
probability). James could also be the infant son of Jesse and his late wife Eliza Thomas (m. 1840). I believe this second explanation
is the correct one, because, upon returning to Alabama, James lives in Jesse's household in 1860, even though Charles is living very
nearby and even though Charles' other unmarried children are still living in his household.
1860 Ala., Marshall Co, p. 881: both Charles and Jesse are approximately adjacent (same census page). This gives a very high prob-
ability that Jesse is the son of Charles.
They are also side-by-side in 1840 (same census page), since Jesse had married and established his own household. There is a very
low probability that Jesse is the brother of Charles and thus the son of Jesse TERRELL (1776-1852) and Nancy STRANGE
(1780).

tate Papers along with John W. it appears that he died in infancy.
TERRELL-TALLEY FAMILIES
From Cherokee County [TX] History Peyton TERRELL b. 1832 TN according to census, d. before 1870. It is said by those living in Alabama that Peyton died of smallpox and is
buried at King's Hollow on Sand Mountain. Although many lovely, old above-ground vaults -- some of them made of rock, some of cement, and
some a combination of the two -- are there, most remain nameless.
Peyton m. Jerusha SHIPP (b. Feb 7, 1841, d. Sep. 18, 1904) on July 21, 1859, in Marshall Co. AL, at "Abner SHIPP's, home of the bride's par-
ents." After Peyton d. Jerusha and John lived with her father until she m. William BERRY on March 28, 1874. She is buried in Martling Ceme-
tery on Sand Mountain in the Guntersville and Albertville, AL area.
A search for history and pictures was almost fruitless, with the exception of finding a photograph of Jerusha in Alabama and one of her father, Ab-
ner, in Farmersville, TX. With little results, efforts to find other pictures and history, after an exhaustive search, have been suspended.
Child of Peyton TERRELL & Jerusha SHIPP is:
+ 33 i. John Wesley12 TERRELL, born 10 Oct 1860 in Marshall Co, Ala.; died 5 Apr 1930 in Bullard, Smith Co, Texas.
If Jerusha Ann SHIPP and Peyton TERRELL had other children living in 1870, Alabama Probate Law would have required that they be listed
and receive a portion of the estate of Anthony that went to Peyton By 1880, John Wesley TERRELL had moved out on his own as shown by the
next census citation.

The above census does not prove that all the children listed are children of Jerusha SHIPP Terrell Berry. Due to his age, it is probable that Wil-
liam BERRY had one or more previous marriages and may have had children by earlier spouse(s). Without an exact date of death for Peyton
TERRELL, we cannot determine when Jerusha was free to get together with BERRY. Don Terrill commented that he did not find their marriage
in Alabama Marriage Records. If the date of March 28, 1874 cited in the Cherokee County History is correct, either all except the last child are by
his previous wife or they were consorting before the marriage. Unless some of the BERRY descendants surface with the "rest of the story," we
may never know who belongs to whom.

Helen Nunnally: Sarah Jane should be Eliza Jane. My dad talked about this old gal a lot. Let's not get into what he said. Here is what the ceme-
tery book says: Eliza Jane Sandridge, wife of N. Sandridge, born 4 November 1829 in Alabama and died 10 June 1916 in Bullard, Smith, Texas.
She is buried in the Bullard cemetery, Bullard, Texas. Cemetery Records of Smith County, Texas, Volume III, Southwest Quarter, Thirty-four
cemeteries published by the East Texas Genealogical Society, P, O. Box 6767 Tyler, TX 75711. This old cemetery did not keep records until the
past few years. I remember my father coming in at almost 8:00 p.m. tired and dirty. He had helped dig into 8 graves before finding one that was
empty. They had very bad records. In many instances people were buried in home made boxes and just carried from home to the cemetery without
anyone doing the burial except the community. I also remember his coming after he helped to dig the grave for Aunt Lucy Clements who d.

I have found no Mary who m. a TERRELL in this work the right age to fit this census. While the birthplaces above do not match James F. &

Parents of Alan Brinsfield TERRELL were born in VA & NC, not IL; evidently this is an error on the part of the census taker as the names and
ages leave little room for doubt that this is Alan Brinsfield TERRELL. Perhaps the error is due to the fact that his parents lived briefly in IL be-
tween 1840 & 1860.

Editor's Note: Her stone has her name carved as Elen, and it is spelled that way in the family
Bible photocopies. This spelling was used by Mrs. Nunnally in her writings. Their marriage
license, No. 155, Page 445, Book 7 marriage records of Marshall County Alabama indicates
that they were married on Dec. 23, 1883 at H. J. Wilson's by E A. Gardner. Her name is
spelled as Ellen there. Marriage bond dated 18 Dec. 1883 and signed by John W. Terrell &
William Berry lists her name as Ellen. In view of the fact that both her signature and official
documents spell the name with double "l," I have changed the spelling in this document to
Ellen. DFB
TERRELL-WILSON FAMILIES
From Cherokee County [TX] History John Wesley TERRELL (b. Oct 10, 1860, Marshall Co. AL, d. April 5, 1930) son of Peyton
and Jerusha SHIPP TERRELL, grew up on Sand Mountain at Martling near the Albertville
and Guntersville, AL area.
John Wesley TERRELL was the first Terrell family [of this line] to come to Texas, on horseback. A story often told by Jerusha was the fear she
had when as her son was leaving. She saw the hoof of the horse he was riding slip as he jumped a small, but almost bottomless crevasse enroute to
his new adventure and what would soon be his permanent home in Smith Co. TX.
John m. Ellen Lou WILSON (b. Aug 3, 1868, d. May 21, 1960) Dec. 23, 1883, in Marshall Co. AL. She was the daughter of Millicent Maria
HINDS (b. Mar 14, 1848, d. Feb. 1908) and Hezekiah Jefferson WILSON (b. Feb. 19, 1841, d. Oct. 30, 1927)

TERRELL came to Texas in 1884. He stopped off to visit his mother's SHIPP brothers in Farmersville, TX, then settled in the Eureka community
near Bullard in Smith Co. TX. There he waited for his wife to follow him. He settled less than seven miles from Jerome BAILEY's home where
he saw his dream fulfilled of having a large farm where he could turn the soil to feed his family.
Traveling by covered wagon with her parents and her grandmother, Margaret GULLION Wilson, Ellen took six months to get from Alabama to
Texas. Soon after they arrived, John and Ellen's first son was born.

John Wesley TERRELL was a member of
Masonic Lodge No. 785 in Bullard, but in
1928, with the Depression just beginning, he
was dismissed for non-payment of dues. His
standards were high, his family and commu-
nity respected him for his leadership, and
except for a short-lived partnership in the
cotton ginning business, he was a farmer all
his life. He served his community to the
fullest. Methodist ministers and their fami-
lies frequented the TERRELL home. His
home was always filled with children and
young people.
When a neighbor was down with influenza,
John saw a need; so, the family, field hands,
wagons, mules, and tools headed for the
crops which needed working desperately. As
his "caravan" moved along, everyone sing-
ing, he looked back and saw others joining to
lend a helping hand.
Men went to the fields; girls did the churn-
ing, washing, and ironing; boys cut wood,
cared for animals, and drew water from the
well. Smaller children gathered eggs,
cleaned the yard with their brush brooms,
and wives gave baths, cooked food, and su-
pervised household chores for the ill family.
When another neighbor's barn burned, John followed his philosophy of one for you, one for me. While the boys divided the corn, hay, peanuts,
piglets, and picked two cows for loan, the girls divided quilts they had made, food they had canned, doilies they had embroidered, and clothes they
had made.
Perhaps he knew that some day the shoe might be on the other foot. Indeed, his home, later destroyed by fire, included in its ashes our family Bi-
bles, photos, and history.
Ellen made us a part of her life. We were asked occasionally to cut a new tooth brush for her little brown bottle with the four notches on the bot-
tom, or to bring her the blue felt house shoes she wore most of her life because of crippling arthritis. She was a good cook and homemaker, a won-
derful wife, mother, friend, and romantic who loved to read True Love and True Romances.
She gave us a lineage that takes us all the way back to the Mayflower with five passengers aboard: John ALDEN, Priscilla MOULLINS, Priscil-
la's parents, and Frances COOKE. Our Magna Charta line comes from Priscilla's grandmother, Mahieu, who descends from Sire De QUIN-
CEY, a baron credited with rewriting the Magna Charta. Joseph HINDS, Ebeneezer BYRAM, Jeremiah RODEN, Isaac OAKS and Thomas
SHIPP are Revolutionary War soldiers given by both our grandparents.
There are some things families enjoy remembering. Ellen had the most beautiful blue eyes, eyes you couldn't forget. John, sounding like a herd of
elephants, awoke everyone with what he called his "two little sweet ones," size 11 shoes, graduating to a size 12 police shoe. The only shoes which
would fit his feet were long and wide.
We miss them, their laughter, sense of humor, and the wisdom they took with them. They instilled truth, kindness, and purpose into our lives.

Obituary for John W. Terrell from Tyler Morning Telegraph, April 6, 1930 indicated that he was 69 years, 5 months, and 25 days of age when he
died almost suddenly at his home four miles west of town. Burial was in Bullard Cemetery. Services were conducted by Rev. T. P. Hendricks &
W. L. Shuttlesworth at the family residence. A large crowd showed the sorrow which the death of this man cast on the community when it be-
came generally known Saturday. He spent his life farming and was active until two or three weeks ago when he contracted influenza. He was a
member of the Masonic lodge, the Odd Fellows and the Methodist church. The beautiful floral offerings gave mute testimony to the esteem in
which the community held this man. Pallbearers were not listed. Survivors are covered elsewhere. His death certificate recorded in Vol. 5, on
page 294 of the Smith Co. Death Records contains personal info given by his son H. P. Terrell. Attending physician whose signature is not legible,
but appears to be C. B. Raltur indicated that he saw him on April 4 & 5, 1930; that death occurred at 9:15 a.m. from cerebral hemorrhage with high
blood pressure contributing. There was no autosy, diagnosis was made from symptoms.
Obituary for Mrs. J. W.[Ellen] Terrell from an undated clipping indicted that she was 91 and died at her home on Rt. 1, Bullard, Saturday after a
lengthy illness. She had 121 direct descendants. Funeral services were held at County Line Baptist Church with Rev. Albert Dusek conducting
and burial was in Bullard Cemetery. She had been a member of the Bullard Methodist Church for 75 years. Grandsons served as pallbearers, but
were not named. Other survivors are listed elsewhere. These included children, 37 grandchildren, 67 great grandchildren, and 10 great-great

grandchildren.
Her death certificate in Vol. 11, page 246 of Smith Co. Death Records originally indicated her name to be Ellen Malvineinie Terrell based upon
information given by Mattie Green. Parents are listed correctly. Marjorie Ferrell Roper, M.D. indicated that death was caused by Dehydration
due to Chronic Gastro-Enteritis and due to arthritis. On 08/08/1975, Helen Terrell Nunnally had this death certificate amended to show her name
as Ellen Lou Terrell and her DOB at August 3, 1868 instead of 1869. Documentation included affidavit from Mrs. Nunnally and certification of
marriage record as shown in the Bible, signed by Mattie B. Green, daughter.
Ellen's Last Will and Testament is recorded in Vol 162, pages 299 & 300 Smith County Texas records. She signed the will and spelled her name
ELLEN, not Elen. Her will provides for payment of all just debts. Division of property into 8 equal parts as follows: a. One part to my son, H. P.
Terrell, Sr.; b. One part to my daughter, Mae Terrell Shipp; c. One part to my daughter, Mattie Terrell Green; d. One part to my daughter, Jerusha

daughter, Cathaleen Honea, was appointed Independent Executrix without bond, and excluding action in the County Court in relation to the settle-
ment of said estate [beyond actions required by probate laws.] It was signed 1 May, A. D. 1948.
The family held at least one reunion on July 8, 1973 at the Cedars of Lebanon Club House on Copeland Road in Tyler, TX. That reunion was or-
ganized by Helen Terrell Nunnally and her sister Mrs. Paul Manziel was listed as contact person.
Information supplied to Mrs. Nunnally duing July 1975 by Harvey C. Byrd, Grand Secretary of the Masonic Lodge Library in Waco, TX indicated

THE JOHN AND ELLEN WILSON TERRELL FAMILY REUNION
CEDAR OF LABANON CLUB HOUSE
OLD COPELAND ROAD, TYLER, TEXAS 1973
Among the leading citizens of Eureka, the name John TERRELL had a familiar Ring. He was born 10 October 1860 to Jerusha SHIPP Terrell
and Payton TERRELL in Albertville, Marshall county, Alabama. He was reared in the Martling community on sand mountain. There he met and
married his lovely Bride Ellen Lou WILSON born 3 august 1868 with their wedding taking place at the home of the bride's parents on 23 Decem-
ber 1883. This union was blessed with three boys and seven girls, Hezekiah Peyton, Millie Elvira, Lue Berta, Mae Belle, Mattie Victoria,
Grady, Mary Jerusha, Malvenevie (Nevie) John Hunter and Hayden Edward TERRELL. All of the children had double names but We have
never been able to discover the other name of baby girl, Grady, and Malvenevie.
John's parents, Jerusha Ann SHIPP and Peyton TERRELL were married 20 July 1859. It is said that Payton died of small pox when John was
ten years of age. (the only proof we have that John is the son of Payton lies in the Estate records of John's grandfather Anthony which states that
John was Under the age of 14 and does not mention any other children, (which denounces that there were any other children). It is hoped that by
the next reunion, The complete history of the TERRELL family will be known.
John Wesley TERRELL came to Texas in the early or middle part of 1884. A SHIPP cousin had gotten in a fight over a girl and being outnum-
bered, John stepped in to help. A rock was thrown by someone in the crowd and it was blamed on John and his cousin. Going by the house to tell
his wife goodbye, he fled with his cousin to Texas, almost dropping off in a crevice in the Mountain. That is where the chase was stopped. John
stopped off at Farmersville to visit some of his SHIPP relatives. Ellen, her parents, Hezekiah and Millie and Hezekiah's mother all left for Texas
by covered wagon. (there were probably others on this trip but we have no knowledge of who they were). We do know they arrived just in time
for the birth of John and Ellen's first child, Hezekiah, taking better than six months to make the trip.

Being a man of high standards and in spite of his strict and stern ways, John's grandchildren feared him, but at the same time, loved and respected
him. He demanded more from them than they felt they could give. However, it is the writer's opinion that trying to Live up to his expectations,
made us all very strong. He demanded much from everyone, including his hired hands, most of them colored.
He loved his large farm and cared for it to the best of his ability, feeding his family well from the seeds he had planted. Strangers were always
welcome...the needs of his fellow man were readily taken care of -- lard, canned goods, canned meats, milk, butter and other things were made
available to those who had lost their home and even to those less fortunate than he. Knowing what it was like to be alone and poor, helping others
was his advice to his children. Though this man's financial means were small, he stood very tall to all who really knew him.
The land that he loved so much was probably his greatest achievement. He turned the earth many times to acquire the property of his choice, per-
haps fulfilling a long and carefully planned dream that some day he would own and toil the earth that someday would be his.
John and Ellen loved their home, their children and friends made a good showing at the Sunday "dinner table." A story told by many of his sisters
and since Hunter was raised with mostly girls, they would tease him and dare him to do things. Back in those days, the children ate last, and the
only thing the preacher left were the wings, back etc. No good meat. Had I been grandma, I would have cooked two batches of chicken...one for
the children and one for the guest. The Methodist preacher often visited the TERRELL home and the children often wished for some of the best
parts of the chicken. They had Hunter to go through the house yelling "save us some of that good stuff". Big daddy excused himself saying he had
a small chore to take care of. -- out behind the wash house.
Big daddy TERRELL as we all knew him made a name for his family. That name has been passed on down to us. It is a name to be respected but
more than that, a name that requires respect from all of us. Many of us were deprived of knowing this great man for on 5 April 1930, death swept
him from us, yet even today, that name, his name, lives on -- his community height still stands just as tall.
We were blessed with knowing grandma TERRELL however, at least most of us. Ellen TERRELL was an even more petite woman in her later
years because of crippling arthritis. We remember her best by: her little blue felt house shoes; her love for reading true love and romance maga-
zines; and the brown bottle with four little notches on the bottom of her snuff jar. Some of us may have been privileged too recall with pride when
we were asked to cut her a new brush for her snuff jar. We were saddened by her death which came 21 May 1960.
John belonged to the Masons while Ellen belonged to the Rebecca's. Unfortunately, when big daddy died, due to the depression he had been
dropped for non payment of dues and Ellen had been dropped from the rebukes for the same reason.
They, John and Ellen Lou WILSON TERRELL would have been proud this day. We all had joined in their memory to attend the John and Ellen
TERRELL reunion of 1973.
The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want
no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?

POSSIBLE CORRECTION ANCESTORS OF ANTHONY
Dan,
Please consider the following information and arguments
regarding information listed in the latest TERRELL Trails.
Listed in Generation No. 2 on page 1508 is Jesse A. TER-
RELL, second child of Richard C. TERRELL and Eliza-
beth ?. Listed as source 11 for Jesse is an 1830 census of
North Carolina. I believe this is the wrong Jesse. I have
attached what I believe to be the 1820 through 1850 census
records of Jesse TERRELL. I have never found him listed
with the middle initial (A.). I did not look at the source rec-
ord above but the initial probably came from that record.
I believe the correct record is in Pittsylvania County, Virginia
as shown on my attached file. Listed adjacent to Jesse in the
1830 census is Chas R. TERRELL. I believe this to be the
son of Jesse TERRELL and his first wife Nancy
STRANGE. I am a descendant of Charles R. TERRELL. I
cannot find conclusive proof that Charles R. is the son of
Jesse.
It has always been a "family story" that Jesse J. TERRELL,
son of Charles R. TERRELL married his first cousin, Mar-
tha TERRELL, daughter of Anthony M. TERRELL.
Well, Martha would not have been Jesse J's first cousin, but
Terrell Trails
1559
would have been a first cousin one generation removed.
Many people get confused with this particular relationship.
I just thought I would try to help clear up the idenity of Jesse
TERRELL, son of Richard C. TERRELL.

Husband's General Notes
The census records for 1790, 1800 & 1810 have not be locat-
ed for Jesse TERRELL. The 1820 census of Pittsylvania
County, Virginia shows a Jesse TERRELL as Head of
Household. There are seven other individuals shown in this
household (3 male & 4 female). Jesse was born 12 February
1776 and would have been 44 years old at the time of this
census. There is one male listed for the age span 26 to 45 and
this is presumed to be Jesse. It is also presumed that since
Jesse's first marriage was on 5 Dec 1797 that none of the
children would have been more than 23 years of age. Nancy
Ann STRANGE was born about 1766, 10 years older than
Jesse or age 54. There is no female listed of age greater than
26 years old. It is presumed that Nancy predeceased this cen-
sus and that the seven other listings are the children of Jesse
and Nancy (Strange) TERRELL. It is also presumed that
there were at least two male children not shown in this
household at the time of this census (Julius B. and Charles
R. TERRELL).
Military Service: None
There is some question about when Jesse and his family
moved to Williamson County, Tennessee. He first appeared
on the tax list there in about 1837. He is listed in the 1830
census on Pittsylvania County, Virginia and is shown there as
giving consent to the marriage of his daughter Edney in April
1832. Of the seven children listed in the 1820 census, three
have not been identified (one female and two male).
Farmer
Wife's General Notes
Nancy Ann (Strange) TERRELL probably died before
1820. She is not listed in the 1820 census with Jesse TER-
RELL and seven others (presumed children).

I'm new at genealogy and discovered your site after
going into ancestry.com. I've always thought we
were probably related to people with variations on
the spelling, and this shows we probably are.
Around here I also know there is TYRRELL.
I have found TARRELL ancestors back to Eng-
land, born in 1835, all with this same spelling. We
have quite a large number of TARRELL ancestors
and descendants who live or lived in the Canistota,
Salem, Marion, Bridgewater, South Dakota areas.
It also looks like the John TARRELL mentioned
above born in 1835 in England, migrated to Wis-
consin. My great-grandfather, Moses TARRELL,
was a son of that John TARRELL.
I will go through some of your sites at a later time
and provide info as requested, or obtain any info I
can from them. If you have questions about any-
thing, feel free to contact me at:

Hi Don I was wondering if you had any info on the
TERRILL's from Breckenrige and Chilcothe MO.
My great great grandfather Thomas S. TERRILL
born in 1863. 1920 census states Thomas being
born in Iowa but him putting IL as his state of birth
he married Mamie MC CULLUM in MO their
children were Frank (my grandfather) Fred,
Mary.
My grandfather Frank married Colene DISH-
MAN their children Robert, Ina, Ilene, Wilma,
Ralph, Floyd, Max I want to know who Thomas TERRILL's father
was or what TERRILL line to follow. My father
had said my cousin traced the family line back to
England. An ancestor was knighted by King Wili-
am in the Anglo Saxon war and we ARE of nobili-
ty, My father passed away Sept 11 of an aneurysm
before I found the web site the Great Pioneers of
Missouri he would of liked to see that.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sharon
TERRILL [email protected] Sharon,
I'm sorry, but I found nothing in my database
which matched your information. I am researching
Terrell (etc.) in the Southern states, but I have not
yet gone beyond the 1870 census (next on my list
is 1880), so I can't search for Thomas by census
records. In any case, I am researching only the
Southern states plus Indiana (where a substantial
number of Virginia Terrells migrated), and have no
data on Illinois or Iowa. Don C. TERRILL (with
the Terrell Society of America)
Mr. Terrill,
You seem very knowledgeable about the history of
the TYRRELLs and Terrills; I hope you can help
me. I am looking for information on my grandfa-
ther, Julius Harrison TYRRELL, born in Illinois,
3/4/1889. He died in California on 2/13/1964. His
ss# is 547-26-1608. The SS Death Index shows his
mother's maiden name as HOFFMIES, which I
think to be a typo. Do you have any information
on him, his family, or can you offer me some sug-
gestions on where to search? Any help you can
provide will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Erin Tyrrell Forbis
[email protected] Erin,
I'm sorry, I don't have the information you seek.
The spelling of the name very strongly suggests
that your earliest North American ancestor was ei-
ther: (a) a New England TYRRELL or (b) a 19th
century TYRRELL arrival from England or Ire-
land. The TYRRELL spelling is not used among
Southern Terrells (my area of concentration), other
than immigrants from the northern states. I am
providing a copy of this e-mail to Dan Brinson
who maintains our Terrell Society newsletter in-
dex, in case he finds any references. Don C. Ter-
rill (with the Terrell Society of America)
Editor's Note: I checked the indexes to vols I - IV
of Terrell Trails. The closest name I found to
HOFFMIES was:
HOFF, Elizabeth; Miss; 520; 621 (daughter of
couple below, VA 1786--Gordon Co. GA 1857)
HOFF, Peter; Mr.; 1228; 1229 (1750 Germany--
1828 GA)
HOFF, Winneford 'Winney' PORTER; Mrs.;
1228 (his wife, m. ca1772 Hampshire Co. VA, d
GA)
As you can see, these dates are no where near
yours. Maybe one of our members has the info that
you seek. DFB
