I have a question about Fanny Terry, widow (2nd wife) of George Terry of Charlotte.  Has anyone determined where & when she died? Could it be Williamson Co., TN? I will explain further on.

Will of George Terry Charlotte Co., VA WB 2:236
12 Dec 1802; prob. 3 Jan 1803

Son Thomas Terry when he comes of age.
Daughters Salley Terry, Fanny Terry, Lucy Terry, Anny Terry. Sons William Hulett Terry and Henry Buck Terry.
Wife Fanny Terry.

My older nine children:
Molly Alderson, John Terry, Patsey Terry, George Terry, Nancy Hainey, Dabney Terry, Elizabeth Terry, Mathew Terry and Susanna Haney.
Exec wife Fanny Terry and son Dabney Terry.
Wit: Griffin Dodd, Thomas Read Jr., James Lamkin, Richard Morton

I am a LEE of Charlotte Co., VA researcher.

One of them, John Lee Jr., married a Fanny/Frances Terry (briefly 1st mar. to a WEBB) in Charlotte County:

#1- 7 Sep 1807 LAZARUS WEBB & FANNY TERRY, ward of LAZARUS WEBB. Sur: SINGLETON FOSTER. m. 8 Sep by Richard Dabbs, Jr.

#2- John Lee married Frances Webb (widow) 12 Feb 1812, Charles H. Pearson was surety to the bond (Note: Charles H. Pearson was a grandson of John Lee Senior d. 1805 Charlotte Co.)

The above seem to be the same John LEE wf Fannie/Frances who moved to Williamson Co., TN. The land straddled the line of Williamson & Marshall counties and they appear 1850 Cen Marshall Co.
(Bible record found at link.

Could the below have been the widow of George Terry who died in Charlotte Co., VA and mother of John Lee's wife?

Record Book Letters of Administration (Williamson Co., TN] No. 1, 1838-1855 by Louise G. Lynch 1971

P. 18 [orig. p. 125] "Terry, Francis July 1842, No will, John Lee, Admr."
I don't know if "Francis" was male or was female and could have been the mother of Frances Terry-Lee.

I could not find Francis Terry on that area of Tenn. 1840 census.

I could not find an elderly seemingly single female on Marshall Co. 1840 in hshld of John Lea, or the Vincent Terry or neighbors close by them. I did not check for one in a hshld of another possible family member in Williamson Co. 1840. spearsjlg@nc.rr.com

Hi Fran,
Yes, Henry B. Terry is Henry Buck Terry (brother to the Lucy you asked about) b- Bet. 1801 - 1802 who was married to Ursulla Allen. They were my 3rd great-grandparents. I descend thru their daughter, Frances Ann Terry and her 2nd husband, James Richardson Burnett. I also have a secondary birth location for Henry Buck Terry of Peytonville, TN but I'm not sure where that originally came from now.

1836 Bedford Co. TN Tax List includes a Henry B. Terry having 250
acres and 1 slave in District 12

NOTE: Marshall Co. was formed from part of Bedford Co. in 1836 Henry B. Terry is not listed in the Marshall Co. 1840 Census (although a Vincent Terry is listed). Henry B. Terry is listed in the 1857 Agricultural Census of Marshall Co. Look at microfilm of the original, as this record does give a good summary of the real estate, slaves, livestock, etc. for each head of household. 

1850 Marshall Co. TN Census: Farmer with 1000 acres March 3, 1855, an Act was passed called 'Circular B' for Bounty land for services for 2 weeks or more and certain number of miles traveled. There are several letters written to Wash. by his friend, Chesley Williams, notarized by him and signed in a business like hand by Henry B. Terry.

He states he volunteered at Chapel Hill Tenn. (Marshall Co.) to fight the Sabine Indians, was discharged at Jackson, Tenn. (Madison Co.) as the President decided against this call. He finally was given 160 acres on Dec. 22, 1857, in what was then called the Southwest Frontier District in Marshall Co. The number of this grant was #75-212. By this time he was 56 yrs. of age. His friend Chesley Williams had also served with him, the same amount of time and had received his bounty earlier.

23. TERRY, Lucy b. VA ca. 1796 d. Williamson Co. TN ca. Mar 1881.
Who was Lucy Terry's parents? I find a record of deeds between Lucy (TERRY) Patton and Henry B. TERRY in 1836, in that portion of Marshall Co. TN, that was formed from Bedford Co. Who was Henry B. TERRY?

Does anyone have a list of Keeble and Sarah (TERRY) Terry's children? They lived in Bedford Co. TN, from before 1810 until Keeble died ca. 1838. Keeble (Kebble, Kibble, etc.) was the son of Moses TERRY. His wife Sarah was the daughter of Nathaniel and Sarah (Royal) TERRY.

Sarah (TERRY) TERRY left a will in Bedford Co. ca. 1851, but a fire and a tornado destroyed the will books. Will exchange TERRY and other family information.

The children of Lucy TERRY and Robert Patton were:
1. PATTON, John Dysart b. 7 Aug 1826.
