Individual Details
Rev. William Terry
(Abt, 1778 - April 16, 1827)
"William Terry was a Methodist preacher in Alabama for a number of years; lived in old Sneedsborough, Anson County, North Carolina, when his grandmother, Mourning Raiford Pickett, appointed him as one of the executors of her will (probated 1803)." ("Rockingham Post-Dispatch," Richmond County, North Carolina, 30 November 1949.)
"All of the children of this family moved to Arkansas and settled in and about Little Rock, about 1845, except Mrs. Beverly Rose, who lived and died in Fayetteville, where she left a large family of sons and one daughter. Martha R. LeGrand lived and died in Richmond County, Virginia." (From MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS OF ANSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA compiled by the Craighead-Dunlap Chapter DAR, Wadesboro, North Carolina, 1972, "Everett Sketches" by Capt. W. I. Everett, deceased, 1927, pages 133, 179-180, and 187-188; located in the Rockingham - Richmond County Library, Rockingham, North Carolina.)
(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: The article by Capt. Everett, in the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, says in one place that William Terry married Sarah Chiles Leak, and in another place, he says Sarah's husband was James Terry. For some time, it appeared to me that James Terry, her 1st cousin once removed, was her husband, but further research shows that her husband was Dr. William Terry, brother of Eli Terry.)
"Died - In Autauga County, on the 16th mst.(?) at the residence of Tod Robinson, Esq. the Rev. William Terry, in the 49th year of this age. ... Mr. Terry was a minister of the gospel for more than twenty years. ... He was a father; his children can testify to the many acts of paternal affection. He was a husband. ... The extensive circle of his friends in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he was for many years an eminent merchant, and where he was for a long period zealously devoted, as a faithful shepherd, over the flock committed to his charge. ... The revolution incident to commercial transactions which no human foresight can control, and which often affects the best of men, brought Mr. Terry to this country. Circumstances made him a private citizen in the most retired walks of life. ..." (Obituary, "Alabama Journal," Montgomery, Friday, April 20, 1827 .)
