Other marriages:
BISHOP, Frances M.

Was a Missionary Baptist preacher. Information from "Quayle Family History", by Alexander Jack Quayle. Another source gives his marriage to Frances as being on 27 Jan 1833. Ancestor of Mary Quayle, first wife of Gen. Omar Bradley They are found on the 1850 Randolph Co. MO census with the first four of the children listed here. A booklet issued by the Bank of Moberly in 1916 called "Moberly Fifty Years Ago - And Today" has a photograph of him with the caption: "A preacher of the Baptist faith, who, according to some of the older residents, preached the first sermon in Moberly in the dining room of the Tate Hotel. After the organization of the Baptist church, he was its first pastor." See "History of Randolph and Macon Counties, Missouri", 1884 for further data on Benjamin and other children of Robert Terrill. See also "Christian - Terrill Genealogy" by Inez Christian Doshier, pp. 64-67. She says that Ben was the "handsomest man around, tall, slender, graceful". Although the middle of 13 children, he was the leader, and his mother, brothers and sisters all referred perplexing questions to him. Eventually, all of his siblings, his mother, and his "Uncle Jack" with his sons and their families followed him to Missouri and settled in Randolph County. They were raised so intimately that "the families grew up in such a way that they hardly knew which were their own parents or own brothers and sisters". I have a photo of a group of church women (including my grandmother Terrill) celebrating the Centennial (100th) of the First Baptist Church in Moberly. There is a photo of him on the wall.

The Mt. Pleasant Assoc. book mentioned under his father and his brother Jesse says Benjamin "was a native of Boone County, Kentucky. He was born on the 7th of May 1811. A few years prior to his birth his parents Robert and Mary Terrill, emigrated from Albemarle County, Virginia...In the fall of 1836, in company with his wife and two brothers, James and Jesse Terrill, removed to MO and settled in Randolph Co., near the present town of Moberly, where he remained until a few years ago...In the 22nd year of his age he was married to Miss Frances M. Bishop, who only lived about three years after this event. On the 2nd day of June, 1836, he was again married to Miss Deblah S. Crisler, of Boone County, Kentucky. The fruit of this marriage was four sons and two daughters reared to maturity, all of whom became members of the Baptist denomination. One of the sons, James W. Terrill, is a Baptist minister of great power. He was a former president of Mt. Pleasant Baptist College, and greatly distinguished himself at the head of that institution. In fact, as a teacher he was, perhaps, the most remarkable man we ever saw in a school-room. He is now, we believe, at Winchester, Tennessee. Another and younger son, A.W. Terrill, for several yearss distinguished himself as president of Hardin College at Mexico, MO....In the fall of 1836, in company with his wife and two brothers, James and Jesse Terrill, he removed to Missouri and settled in Randolph County, near the present town of Moberly, where he remained until a few years ago...At the time of his settlement in Randolph County, he found but few Baptists in that part of the state. He traveled and preached the gospel from Monroe to Schuyler County, and aided in forming a number of churches in this vast field. The following may be named: Shiloh (now Moberly), Sweet Spring, Higbee, Thomasville, Union, and Mt. Vernon in Randolph County; Hickory Grove and Oak Grove in Monroe County; Mt. Salem and Ten Mile in Macon County; and Highland in Schuyler County. Within the territory of many of these churches, Eld. Terrill was the first Baptist minister who preached the gospel and baptized. Bro. Terrill was a sound gospel preacher, and though not a man of 'great learning,' was possessed of a natively strong mind. His views of 'salvation by grace' were very decided. He held no mixed views, but had clear conceptions of Divine truth. He was a genial compainion in the social circle, and always delighted to talk about Christ and his salvation. A little more than 4 years before his death, his health began to fail. His disease was what is properly known as 'heart disease.' He gradually became more and more feeble, but endured it all without a word of complaint...He died at the residence of his son, President A.W. Terrill of Mexico at 9 PM, June 17th, 1877; and his remains were carried to his old home, one mile from Moberly, and buried in the family graveyard. One word more. The Terrill family of Central Missouri have been a power for doing good; not supassed, probably, by any family in the state."

The local newspaper had a piece which may or not be on him: "Terrill, Benjamin {Rev.} -- sick with typhoid fever for several days, doubtful if he will survive; THH 4 Jan 1872; recovering; THH 8 Jan 1872"

The booklet, "Original Land Purchases of Randolph County, Missouri" by Cecille Taylor Rice, pub. by the Randolph County Historical Society has this on him:

Terrill, Benjamin on 16 Feb 1848 purchased 40 acres and on 14 Aug 1851 purchased 40 acres. Found on pp 49 & 48 of the original book. May possibly be another Benjamin Terrill.

From the "Moberly Daily Enterprise Monitor":

"Terrill, Benjamin -- d. 17 Jun 1877 at his son's, President Wood Terrill, in Mexico, remains to Moberly by train & taken to the old home-stead for interment 19 Jun 1877; leaves an aged wife & several children, among them President Terrill of Hardin College, James Terrill, late President of Mt. Pleasant College, & Mrs. Quayle, wife of our ex-Representative, Colonel William Wuayle; MDM Monday 18 Jun 1877; among other relatives, were his sons, Dr. & Luther Terrill, of KY; MDM Wednesday 20 Jun 1877; d. 17 Jun 1877 at his son, A. W. Terrill, aged 67y, leaves 4 sons, 2 dau., 2 brothers & 1 sister; b. 7 May 1811 Boone Co, KY to Robert & Mary Terrill, at age 23 m. Francis M. Bishop (d. 3y later), m. 2 Jun 1836 Boone Co, KY to Delliah S. Crisler, came to Rand in the fall of 1836 with 2 brothers James & Eld. Jesse; large article; MDM Tuesday 26 Jun 1877."

I have a copy of the newspaper article sent to me by Bob Deskin 3959 Sarita Park, Fort Worth, TX 76109. It talks about the "Marriage Book" donated to the MO State Historical Society by the Rev.'s granddtr, Mrs. John M. (Maud S.) Hopkins. I have a note that Maud had no children. It says:

-=-==-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=
His first marriage ceremony , as listed in the book, stated:

"I hereby certify I united in Matrimony Thomas M. Galbreath and Manervy Delaney (Delansy?) on the 11th day of April, 1839, each of Randolph Cty., MO. Benjamin Terrill."

His second ceremony was that in which he performed the marriage of Thompson C. Kimbrough and Nancy H. Jackson, August 15, 1839 and the third of Charles H. Deskin and Elizabeth Burton, March 1840. The fourth also was a Deskin, Mose H. Deskin and Ann Beale being married by him on October 22, 1840.

His last recorded ceremony in the book is that on July 7, 1861, the marriage of William Lay and Bunisa Peviney.

Elder Benjamin Terrill was a brother of William Terrill, who was the grandfather of Henry Green and Vince Terrill and Mrs. Lloyd Wayland of Moberly. He has many other more distant relatives now living here...

The following sketch of his life was written by Elder Benjamin Terrill in 1870, seven years before his death, and sent to Elder W.L.T. Evans at the latter's request:

"I was born on the 7th day of May, 1811, in Boone County, Kentucky. My parents, Robert Terrill and Mary Lacy Terrill, a few years before my birth, emigrated from Albemarle County, Virginia. In the spring in which I was 14 years of age, I became a member of old Bullitsburg Church, not more than a mile from my home, and was baptised by Absalom Graves in a pool made for the purpose in the meeting house yard. From that time on my mind was often impressed with the subject of the gospel ministry, but not having the benefit of even a good English education, I was often forced to look at my stock of ignorance and dreaded to undertake the great and grand work.

"When 21, I was married to Frances M. Bishop, who was called to rest from toil and care two years later. On the second day of June, 1836, I was united in marriage to Delilah S. Crisler of Boone County, Kentucky. The fall (?) of the same year we immigrated to Missouri, in the company of two other brothers, James and Elder Jesse Terrill, and settled near the present site of Moberly. At the time, the closest church was Mt. Ararat in Howard County. Our first membership was with that church. Afterwards we went into the organization of the church at Huntsville.

"For convenience we joined the church known as 'Union', four miles east of our residence. By this church, in session in the house of Brother P.T. Oliver, we were ordained to the work of the gospel ministry on the second Saturday of November, 1838, by Deacons P.T. Oliver, D.D. Crews, and Elijah Burton..."

Commenting further on Elder Terrill and her family, Mrs. Hopkins says:

"Elder Terrill preached much in his youth in Kentucky. My father, James W. Terrill, moved from Randolph County, Missouri, in 1876 to Winchester, Tenn, where lived a retired Mississippi-Ohio river captain. One day after hearing my father preach, Captain Dunfield said:

"'You remind me strangely of someone I knew long ago when you talk.' Then in a moment the captain ejaculated: 'Now I know. It is a young preacher in Boone County, Kentucky, who used to preach at Bullitsburg and whom I heard whenever my boat was tied up for loading nearby. By the way, his name was Terrill too..Benjamin Terrill. A most promising youngster. Did you ever hear of him?'

"Yes, " was the answer. "He was my father."

"'Well, that explains it. You have bothered me all along. You preach much like him.'

"Father told me that Grandfather swept at will his audience from tears to laughter, " Mrs. Hopkins concluded in her account."
