Nancy Terry[1, 2]

Female 1758 - 1836  (78 years)


Personal Information    |    Media    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Nancy Terry  [3
    • Remember, when Nancy Terry married Berryman Green, he had at least 4 children; having been married to Ann Pritchard until her death. Nancy Terry was 31 years old when she and Berryman were married. Anthony Green and 3 sisters came with Berryman. Anthony Green was 3 years old. I wonder why Thomas Green and Peter Davis took such an interest in Berryman, and not so much recorded, as Anthony.
