Margaret Terry
(Abt, 1755 - Abt, 1790)
"Margaret Terry married 1773 David Smith, son of John and Sarah Smith, Sandhill (Obit. in Mississippian (Jackson, Miss.) 18 Dec 1835." (footnote of the will of William Terry, page 116, Anson County, North Carolina Abstracts of Early Records, compiled by May Wilson McBee, 1950.)
The age of Margaret Terry and order of birth is based on the order of the children as shown in the will of William Terry. Information from McBee, DAR, Blythe, and Wynn records and Robinson Bible.
(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Some research shows Margaret as the daughter of Col. Joseph Smith, mostly from biographies of the Humphreys family, who was said to have died in the Battle of King's Mountain. I have found no Col. Joseph Terry of this age.)
