Individual Details

Mercy's parents were William and Rachel Terry.
There is a marriage for a William Terry to Rachel Marson/Manson in "Meeting of Friends, Pennsylvania Marriages", a New Jersey license, on 3 Feb 1759. This is often seen as the marriage record for this couple, but no proof has been found that this couple who married in Pennsylvania is the same as the William Terry & wife Rachel found in Botetourt Co VA.

There exists a sale bill for the estate of William Terry, 13 Dec 1744, in Augusta Co VA - obviously an earlier person of this same name.
