Individual Details

Joseph Terry

(Abt, 1705 - December 19, 1785)

Joseph Terry and Judith his wife acknowledge their deed indebted to Daniel Singleton. If Joseph was only 20 years old at this time he would have been born 1716. That he was born earlier is borne out by the fact that his son David would have to be born at this time period for him to have fathered his son John, born 1760. That David was not the oldest child is proven in Amherst County, Will Book 1, page 6, when the grandfather David Crawford states that Lucy is the oldest child of his daughter Judith.
