There is a record of John S. Roberts marriage to Mary J. Bennett on 16 Dec 1879 in Randolph Co., MO. Since she was age 43 when they married, Bennett may not be her maiden name, but may be her widow's name.

Reference the Terrill Bulletin by Ellsberry. Dates said to be from old bible. I have the complete record of his service in the Revolutionary War from official company muster rolls and pay rolls as found in the National Archives. Enlisted on 27 Jan, 1777, rank as Sgt., in Capt. John Gillison's Company. Served in battles of Guilford Court House in N.C. in 1781, and in Hobkirk's Hill Battle. Muster rolls show him at Valley Forge throughout the terrible winter there. Discharged from 3 year enlistment in March of 1780. His will is found in W.B.C. p. 91, Culpeper Co., Va., 1 June, 1784 - 15 Nov 1784. He also is listed as having served in Capt. John Steed's company, 2nd VA Brigade as per "Virginians in the Revolution", p. 764, by Gwatmey. He was Captain in the Culpeper Militia 1779-1780. Another record I saw gives him a son named Reuben, who m. Mildred Woods. I am not sure of this.

Here is a record of his actual service from pay slips:

Edmund Terrill Rev. War Records
From Official Company Muster Rolls and Company Pay Rolls
As found in the National Archives

Jan. 27, 1777...Enlisted for 3 year term. Rank is listed as Sgt. in all below records, and he is found in Capt. John Gillison's Company in all below entries, except the last, regardless of regiment or commander. Location from this enlistment date to below first muster roll is unknown, and may have been inactive until March.

Mar. 28 to Dec., 1777...10th VA Regiment, commanded by Col. Edward Stevens, who is a Brig. Gen. later in the war.

Jan. to Mar., 1778...10th VA Regiment, Commanded by Major Samuel Hawes. Maj. Hawes is later found as a Col., commanding 5th VA Regiment heroically in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in NC in 1781, and in Hobkirk's Hill Battle after that. Edmond is listed as being mustered at Valley Forge during these dates.

April to May, 1778...10th VA Regiment, Commanded by Col. John Green, who is later found as commanding the 4th VA Regiment in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Edmund is still listed as being at Valley Forge during these dates, confirming that he was present in the infamous period of cold, starvation and deprivation. He did not desert, as many did.

June to July, 1778...10th VA Regiment, Commanded by Col. John Green, listed as being at Camp White Plains (NY) during those dates.

Aug, 1778...10th VA Regiment, Commanded by Col. William Russell, located at White Plains.

Sept., 1778...Same as in last entry, but located at "Camp Robinson's Farm."

Oct. to Nov., 1778...6th VA Regiment, also commanded by Col. William Russell, located at Middlebrook.

Dec., 1778 to April 15th 1779...6th VA Regiment, Commanded by Col. John Green, assigned to Camp Middlebrook, but listed as being on furlough during these dates. There was no action in the winter, and many of the men were sent home on furlough, rather than having to feed and clothe them.

May to June, 1779...Same as last entry, but listed as being at Camp Smith's Clove during these dates.

July to Sept., 1779...Same as above, but listed as being at Camp Ramapo (NJ)

Oct. to Nov., 1779...Same, but listed at Camp Haverstraw (NJ).

Dec., 1779 to Mar 1780...2nd VA Brigade, Commanded by Col. Febiger, and in Capt. John Steed's Co. This winter was as hard as Valley Forge. Edmund was apparently discharged from 3 yr. enlistment in March of 1780.

I got the above from photocopies of actual payroll records I obtained from N.A.

CRISLER, Elizabeth Ann

He had the title "Judge". On the 1870 Randolph Co. MO census, his occupation is listed as "Judge of Probate Court". Listed with him are ELiza age 57, Julia J. age 19, William H. age 16, and Thomas J. age 13. His age is 68.

Here is his biography:

The subject of this sketch was born in Albemarle County, Virginia and moved to KY when quite young. Thence he went to Randolph Co., MO near where Moberly now is situated, where he resided for about 40 years.

He was the oldest of six brothers, all of whom were well known and highly respected and honored, enjoying the confidence of all who knew them. Their names in order of their ages are James, Jesse, William, Benjamin, John and Robert.

Jesse and Benjamin Terrill were Baptist preachers, and were known far and wide in this part of the State. John Terrill moved to Texas and settled in Tarrant county, where he is, and has been for some time, county
commissioner (county judge). Robert is still a resident of Randolph Co., and is a physician of high standing. John and Robert are the only ones now living.

James Terrill was born Dec 29 1801. The greater part of his early life was spent in Boone county, KY. On Dec 29, 1825, he was married to Henrietta Conner, of Boone co., KY, by which marriage two children were
born, one son and one daughter. John R. Terrill, the son, is a Baptist minister widely known in North Missouri. His first wife died August 15, 1830. On May 16, 1833 he was married to Eliza A. Crisler, Of Boone Co., KY and out of this union were born 12 children, 5 boys and 7 girls, all of whom are still living, except one boy and one girl, both of whom died while quite young.

James Terrill was a man of sterling qualities of head and heart,- a Christian man, honored and respected by all who knew him, and loved by all who enjoyed his personal acquaintance. Firm in his conviction of
right, he had the courage to defend his position, and he allowed no pressure to swerve him from the performance of a known duty. The confidence of the people is shown by the fact that, although he preferred
the quiet of the home circle ot the busy realities of public affairs, he was several times reelected to fill the office of county judge, serving in all about 20 years in succession, except a few years during the war,
when he resigned, refusing to take the test oath.

The following is from an obituary notice written by Rev. W. L. T. Evans: "Brother James Terrill professed faith in Christ at an early age and became a member of the Bullittsburg Baptist Church. He had been a member
of the Baptist Church for 60 years, a deacon in the church and his membership was with the church at Moberly. Bro. Terrill was an everyday Christian, and no man delighted to talk of the grace of God more than he. He was a man in whom the people of Randolph county placed implicit confidence, having been for a number of years judge of the county court. His life was a living comment on the Bible."

James Terrill died September 14, 1876. His death was very sudden and entirely unlooked for by his family and friends. He leaves a record of which all may be proud. His motto seemed to be that "a good name was
rather to be chosen that [sic] great riches."

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, James on 31 Oct 1836 purchased 160 acres; on 9 Nov 1836 two 80 acre tracts...found on p. 49 of original book.

I received this with other info 6/99 from Bob Deskin :

"I have not copied tombstone dates myself, but the copy of the cemetery plat I use has dates that do not always agee with those of the "Terrill Bible". In that Bible the first entry in left hand column is "James Terrill, father of John R. Terrill was born December 29th A.D. 1802. (Another hand?) Died Sept15th 1876." Next entry "Henrietta Conner,wife of James Terrill and mother of John R. Terrill was born June 20th, 1806. Died August 15th/1830". Next entry "Mary Elizabeth Terrill Sister of John R. Terrill was born May 30th AD, 1829. Died February 25th 1858". Next entry "Elizabeth Terrill, Stepmother, was born Sept. 5th ..." and the copy is dim in this corner. There are two more entries but I can only guess at them."

Henrietta CONNER was born on 20 Jun 1806. She died on 15 Aug 1830 in Randolph Co., MO and was buried in Deskin Cem., Randolph Co., MO. Henrietta married James TERRILL on 29 Dec 1825 in , Boone Co., Kentucky.

They had the following children:

  M i John Robert TERRILL Rev.
  F ii Mary Elizabeth TERRILL
