Hello Wilma,
I have Ansel Terry as an uncle in my material -- neat to find someone
else is working on the line! My information comes from Terry researcher
Gary Julian, of Aurora, CO. I regret to say I do not have an address for
Gary, as the material was forwarded to me by another distant cousin.

I show Ansel as born 10 August 1797, Campbell Co., KY, married to Elizabeth
Foster, 30 August 1815. Ansel died 3 January 1884, in Washington twp.,
Daviess Co., MO. Estimate the marriage at about 1797.

The only children I showed were Lewis, b. 1818; Enoch, b c1820; and David
N., b 1826. I have nothing more on the children, so Thomas and Robert are
new to me. They may have been born in Ripley County, Indiana, though ---
lots of Terrys settled there for a while and some stayed.

Ansel is a son of Robert Terry and Chloe Worrell. They married 11 July
1792, Woodford Co., KY. Robert was b 12 August 1771, and died 16 February
1862 in Adams twp., Ripley Co., IN. Chloe was b befor 1775, died c1820.

Chloe Worrell is a daughter of William and Barbara (_____) Worrell. William
d between 1817-1818, Boone Co., KY. Barbara d. aft 1830.

Robert Terry is a son of John Terry and Ruth (_____). John was b. c1740,
New Jersey, and died c1794, Hamilton Co., Ohio. Marriage estimated c1761.
John and Ruth Terry were members of Dividing Creek Baptist Church,
Cumberland Co., NJ, when it organized 20 May 1761. They had reportedly gone
to Cumberland Co from Cape May County, NJ. In 1774, John was on a
committee to decide what to do with a shipload of British tea which had been
captured, Bridgeton, Cumberland Co., NJ. While the committee met, other
citizens took action and destroyed the tea. (Guess committee inactivity
hasn't changed much over the years!!) John's will is recorded in the
Hamilton Co, OH, will book 1, page 177. Leave one-third of his estate to
wife Ruth, 20 shillings each to Enos and Reuben, and the remainder to be
divided between Robert, John, William, Elizabeth, Mary, Judeh and Sarah;
except, the lot "on which my mansion stands" to William, and a town lot next
to the mansion of Loomis Miller to John. (Mansions??? If that meant what
it implies today, poor old Enos and Reuben sure deserved more than 20
shillings... ha!)

I descend from Ansel's next-born sister, Ruth Terry, born 7 May 1798 in KY,
d 8 July 1892, Aurora, Dearborn Co., Indiana and buried in the Riverview
Cemetery, Aurora. She married John Day c1816.

Cordially,
Bryce Stevens
