Individual Details

Miles married Hannah Horton on 30 Jan 1782, Botetourt Co VA. [Book 2, p.18] He is apparently the Miles referred to as "Devil Jet". A number of descendants attempted to claim Indian heritage on the Cherokee rolls, but failed. Extremely doubtful.

Found in Ancestry FamilyTree:
I finally received a copy of A Partial History of William Terry and his Descendants 1724-1981 by Lula Terry Elliott, 301 Pine Clayton NM 88415. Published in 1981 by Terry Printing Inc., 1653 5. Jackson, Janesville, WI
53545. The cost is $10.00 and it is 100 pages. It may be ordered from the publisher.
The book deals with the descendants of William Terry born about 1724 and died in 1803 in Botetourt County, Virginia. It is believed that he married twice and his second wife is noted to be Rachel Manson. His children were William Jr. of Black Run of Roanoke Virginia; Jasper and wife Ruth; John of Anderson Co. Tenn. and wife Esther Brown; Susannah wife of Thomas Brown; Miles husband of Hannah Horton, Marcy wife of Jonathan Harrison; Rachel wife of John Martin and Jemima wife of Ezekiel Boucher. There are included family sheets for William and Rachel Manson Terry, Miles and Nancy Baswell Terry, Rachel Terry and Thomas Sandage, Elias Terry and Eleanor Sandage which are some of the earlier Terry names mentioned. A majority of the book deals with the children of John and Esther Brown Terry who removed to Perry County Indiana ca 1815. It has numerous narratives by older members of the family, newspaper clippings, numerous pictures, maps, marriage and other types of records. A lot of work went into this volume on the Terry family descended from William. There is also a very nice newspaper clipping about Mrs. Elliott who is an accomplished artist. She kindly gave me permission to print portions of her book in the Terry Family Historian. I shall from time to time try and print more of it, particularly if we can get more documented marriages or other records from early Indiana Terry families.
