    Notes:

    Theodrick Carter, II and Anne Waddill were the parents of Nancy Waddill Carter. Anne Waddill was baptized January 24, 1713, according to the register of St. Peter's parish, which encompassed New Kent County. Her parents were William and Sarah Dennis Waddill. William was elected vestryman of St. Peter's, on June 1, 1704, and served in
    this capacity for at least thirty-five years. The author James Branch Cabell,a descendant of John Waddill, discussed the Waddills in his book "The Majors and Their Marriages." Theodrick Carter and Anne Waddill lived for a time in New Kent County. According to the register of St. Peter's parish, their first child John was baptized on October 30, 1737. Theodrick appeared in the Amelia County tithables list of June 10, 1747 in John Nash's district (this area became part of Prince Edward County in 1754); he is absent from the list Nash compiled for the same district on June 10, 1745. He must therefore have migrated from New
    Kent County to present-day Prince Edward County sometime between these two dates. Nancy was born June 15, 1749, probably at her father's estate "Hickory Hill" (also known as "Hickory Grove"). According to tradition, the house was built around 1750; however, it may have been built three years earlier, since we know that Theodrick was living in John Nash's tax district on June 10, 1747.
    John Wood's 1820 map of Prince Edward County shows the location of Hickory Hill. Two miles west of Hampden-Sydney College is the notation "Capt. Carter's." Captain Carter was Samuel Carter, Nancy's brother. Samuel inherited Hickory Hill from his father in 1777. Destroyed by fire in 1933, Hickory Hill was described four years later in the Works Projects Administration survey of Prince Edward County homes: [Hickory Hill] was not a show place except for its splendid boxwood and cedar hedge and lovely gardens. It was a plain frame house, or rather two houses connected by a little square room. The first of these traditions says it was built in 1750, a story and a half with small rooms except for one large reception room, which was beautifully paneled, and with one side of carved oak. The other part of the house was built by William H. Venable, when he bought the plantation in 1853 from Edward Carter [Samuel's son]. Mr. Venable built a large, square, two-story frame building, with large rooms and ample halls. The many outbuildings around the mansion house made the place quite a little settlement. The large grove of hickories flanking it on the south gave the place its name.
    Nancy's father was one of Prince Edward County's most prominent planters. He purchased 975 acres in old Amelia County on September 20, 1748, and bought and sold other parcels of land up to the time of his death. A member of the Anglican church, Theodrick offered 300 acres of land to St. Patrick's parish for its use as a glebe, or plot of land granted to the local clergyman as part of his benefice during his tenure of office.

    Thomas and Nancy Thompson probably named their fourth child in honor of her brother, Samuel Carter. Samuel distinguished himself in the military, in politics, and as a businessman. A member of the 1st Virginia Regiment during the Revolutionary War, he and seven other officers were granted the honor of personally welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during the great soldier and statesman's visit to Richmond in October, 1824 (Richmond Enquirer, October 29, 1824, page 3). Samuel at various times held the county offices of sheriff, magistrate, and coroner; in 1805-1806 he represented Prince Edward County in the Virginia Assembly. In the late 1790s he was a trustee of a company which improved navigation on the Appomattox River. Later, he became a charter trustee of the Junction Canal Company. In 1825 the company constructed a canal which linked the Appomattox and Little Roanoke rivers. John Wood's map of Prince Edward County shows Samuel's mill at the mid-point of this canal.

    Benjamin Terry had documented sons in his Will of 1771 as follows: Nathaniel, Benjamin, Peter, Joseph and Robert Terry.

    Benjamin Terry is one of the oldest "documented" Terry ancestors in the group from Virginia and he perfectly matches the modal values for Haplogroup I - Lineage I indicating he is the closest match to the MRCA (Most recent common ancestor) for the whole group. Benjamin?s oldest son Nathaniel Terry (1725-1778) married Sarah Royall. Nathaniel Terry was a member of the House of Burgesses and of the House of Delegates. He died, Halifax County, Virginia. This older Benjamin Terry had a daughter Sarah Terry who married Champness Terry, the son of Joseph Terry died about Dec 1785 Pittsylvania County, Virginia and his wife Judith Crawford. This Champness Terry died between 1775 and 1779 in South Carolina. Champness and Sarah had a son also named Champness (1772-1820) who died in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana.

    Notes:

    http://knoxcolorado.com
    The following article, written by Margie Brown, a 6th great-granddaughter of Benjamin Terry, Sr. and a renowned Terry researcher appeared in the Terry Family Historian.
    ISSUE:
    1. William b. 1749 d. 1810 md 1771 Susannah Thompson daughter of Wm & Rachel (Coleman) he was a Virginia legislator and an officer in the Rev. War. He died suddenly in Richmond 1810, obit in ARGUS, Susannah died 1845 was a pensioner, (submitted the family Bible). Among their children was DICKERSON b. 25 Dec 1789 d. test. Halifax 1844, left no issue. There were 9 children in all.
    2. Joseph b. 1753 d. 1817 md 1783 Sarah Coleman (Williams [Hill] a widow of James Hill, and the daughter of John & Diane (Coleman) Williams, 6 children, two being Diane Royall and James Anthony Terry. These were names as the parents of Benjamin in the family lore of Halifax in this century. James A. and wife Nancy are found in Carroll co TN. Diane md a cousin Robert, son of her Uncle Benjamin of Pittsylvania. One son, 2 daughters.
    3. Nathaniel D. b. 1755 d. 1837 md 1784 Ann Thompson daughter of Wm & Rachel (Coleman). He and she both have pensions, plus a glorious lawsuit over the slaves in the 1855-1860 time period. The naming pattern is very strong in this family. One son Nathaniel DICKERSON Terry. He was called Dick by family. [source 2 Biles and 1854 letter from KY and Court suit]. 8 other children
    4. Robert b. 1779 died before 1850 census md 1793 Nancy Hopkins Smith, had son Nathaniel DICKERSON. This family to Henderson co KY [Source dozens of family letters 1809-1817].
    5. Royall b. 1765 d. 1780 unmarried.
    6. Nancy b. 1758 d. 1836 md as his 2nd 1789 Berryman Green. Daughter Elizabeth DICKERSON Green, 6 children. She md a son of her Uncle Joseph above. It is from this family that most of the incorrect family lore was started in the 1920's and 30's. [Source Bible and Court suit.]
    7. Mary b. 1767 d. 1848 md 1786 James Thompson. A daughter Elizabeth DICKERSON Thompson, and a granddaughter by same name. [Bible record and Court suit.]
    8. Elizabeth DICKERSON b. 1760 d. bef 1806 md 1779 as his 2nd John Martin [Bible and Marriage bond0 9 ch. Son named Wm. DICKERSON Martin.
    9. Sarah b. 1763 d. 1854 md 1787 Keeple Terry. No issue [Court papers, Bedford co TN]
    All of the COLEMAN girls above were sisters, antoher sister Susannah Coleman md. Armistead Watlington. Thompson, Watlingtons and Colemans are out of Gloucester Co. VA.
    The records are wonderful and I can track most all the Terrys out of Halifax and Pittsylvania, but if you don't go to the Court House, you never see it. And, as I said in the beginning...there is no documented IRBY name in this Terry family, to my knowledge, if anyone know of one, I would certainly like to see it.
    (After this article was written, we learned of a 1939 visit to Pittsylvania co by Charles Edward Terry, great-grandson of Robert Terry and Nancy Hopkins Smith. He wrote of seeing the original will, in very bad shape at the time and there was nothing mentioned in it about what Elizabeth Terry, wife of Benjamin Sr.'s maiden name was, but he and some Virginia cousins "thought" they knew what it was. Also, at one time in the not so distant past, well past the middle of the 20th century, Pittsylvania county VA had a large number of original wills in their "loose" papers at the Courthouse in Chatham, VA. They have all disappeared, apparently taken by people who thought of them as "theirs!" jek)
