Jessie W. TERRILL Rev. [Parents] was born on 12 Jan 1805 in , Albemarle Co., Virginia. He died on 2 Feb 1873 in , Randolph Co., Missouri. Jessie married Abigail H. WALTON on 21 Dec 1826.

See 1870 census for Randolph Co., MO. Jessie was a Baptist minister, and had one son and eight daughters, including Emma (b. 1844) and Mary (b. 1852). My source says that he was the ancestor of Walter H. Ryle of Northeast Missouri State College in Kirksville. Children and birthdates are listed from the family as found on the 1850 Randolph Co. MO census. From place of birth of the children, it can be determined that the family moved from Kty. to MO about 1836 There is a Mary Terrill, age 18, living with him on 1870 census, and that is the dtr. of his deceased son Robert. His obit says he came to MO in 1838.

There was a write-up on him in the "Mt. Pleasant Assoc." section of the book, "A History of Baptists in Missouri" by R. S. Duncan, 1882. It was republished by: "Church History, Research & Archives, Rt.4, Box 38, Lafayette, TN 37083."

I have a photocopy of it and it says: "Jesse Terrill was a native of the state of Virginia, born in Albemarle County, January 12, 1805. His parents, Robert and Mary Terrill, moved to and settled in Boone Co., KY, when he was a little boy three years old...He sought and won the heart and hand of Miss Abigail Walton, of Boone Co., KY, to whom he was married in the year 1826, and of whom were born to him nine children, an only son and the rest daughters. The son and one daughter died several years ago. Of the six married dtrs. one became the devoted wife of Elder W.L.T. Evans of Randolph County...Late in the yar 1836, in company with two of his brothers, James and Benjamin, he emigrated to MO and settled in Randolph Co., not far from the town of Roanoke. Here he lived until he died. He was pastor of churches located in Central Missouri, as follows: Friendship, Howard County, thirteen years; Union, Randolph County, three years; Ebenezer, in Randolph County, till death; Sweet Spring, same county, three years; Silver Creek, same county, three years; Mt. Gilead and Moniteau churches, two to four years. It can be truly said that no pastor was ever more tenderly loved by his people than was Jesse Terrill....His labors were abundantly blessed to the good of the Baptist interests in Howard, Randolph, Chariton, Macon and Monroe counties; and he was regarded by all who knew him as 'one of the good men of the earth.' For ten years---from 1859---Jesse Terrill was the venerated moderator of the Mt. Pleasant Association...For the last three years of his life he was confined to his room, but bore his sufferings with meekness and resignation. He died at his residence in Randolph Co. February 2, 1873, and was buried in the old family graveyard. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. S.Y. Pitts, of Huntsville, a large congregation of people being present to participate in and witness the services." It then has an article on his younger brother, Benjamin, identified as such.

This was in the newspaper when he died. Has his birth date different:

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE.
from The Huntsville Herald, 12 February 1873

Jesse Terrill, after an illness of nearly three years, of dropsy of the chest, died at his residence, on the 2d instant. Jesse, the second of six brothers, was born in Albermarle county Va., January 12, 1808, was raised to manhood in Boon county, Kentucky, and in the fall of 1836, together with his brothers, James and Benjamin, emigrated to this county. William the third brother and for a long time a citizen of the county, sleeps in Kentucky. James, Benjamin, Robert, and John survies. Early in Jan., 1818 James and Jesse Terrill, the same day professed faith in Christ, under their father's roof, and the 1st Sabbath in that month and year, walked down into the water together and were baptized.

Jesse Terrill was a remarkable man, he was a man of the finest executive ability, he governed his own house well, in his dealings and business with men he was a pattern. The churches to which he ministered were harmonious and orderly, in his neighborhood he was a peacemaker, and he rarely, if ever, failed to affect a coneitiation of differences in churches that sought his council. His comprehension of a case was accurate, his sense of Justice was so correct, his findings of any case so plain, and confidence in him so great, his decisions were usually accepted by both parties as the right in peace. In the public bodies of his brethren he presided with marked ability. He was the venerated and loved moderator of Mt. Plesant association and chairman of the executive board for many years.

Uniformity and punctuality were his characteristics, he was nearer the same man every day than any I ever knew. In the daily business of life, the excitement of the war, doubts of brethren, loss of children, and great personal affliction, he was the same. He attended Mt. Pleasant association for thirty-three consecutive years, was Pastor of Friendship church, Howard county, 17 years, and during that time was absent from but two church meetings, one at the association, and the other out of the county; was pastor of Higher or Ebinger church about twenty-five years, this was the church of his membership. Never in a hurry he was on time, never making loud declarations of principle, he was as true as steel.

He was an humble heavenly minded man, talking of his sense of un-worthiness, and the great need of Divine Grace, he said many desire to live their lives over again, that they may better themselves, I do not, I am willing to leave it as it is, by the Grace of God I am that I am. He talked of Heaven, loved songs about Heaven, yearned for its society, and last Sunday night the
Savoir released him and took him home. On Tuesday a large gathering of neighbors, relatives and friends, attended his funeral services and burial, and those people for two generations to come will tell their children of that noble Christian man, Jesse Terrill. S. Y. P. February 5, 1873

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, Jesse on 27 Jan 1837 purchased 80 acres..on p. 30 of book.

The following may be about an additional (unproven) son of his:

J. T. TERRILL, farmer, was born in Howard county one mile north of Armstrong, January 5th, 1854. He is a son of the late Rev. J. W. TERRILL. He was raised to manhood on the Terrill homestead on which he now resides. When the war broke out in 1861 he went with his parents to Texas, returning with them to Missouri in 1866 after the war was over. He was educated in the public schools and at Mount Pleasant College, Huntsville, Mo. He was married January 18th, 1887 to Miss LENIE EVANS, of Moberly, Mo. They have six children, 3 boys and three girls. Since returning home from Texas Mr. Terrill has resided in Howard county with the exception of 3 years that he farmed successfully in Chariton county, six miles north of Salisbury. He owns an extra good farm of 155 acres 1 mile north of Armstrong, and is in good circumstances financially. He was elected director of the Armstrong public school in April, 1895. Mr. Terrill takes great interest in educational affairs and one of his chief objects in life is to give his children a good education. He is a member of the Baptist church and the Royal Tribe of Joseph Lodge. Mr. Terrill is a man that attends strictly to his own affairs and is well liked by his fellowman.

He bought some land in Randolph Co. in 1840:

Other marriages:
CRISLER, Delilah Smith

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."

Frances M. BISHOP was born about 1813. She died about 1835. Frances married Benjamin TERRILL Rev. on 22 Jan 1833.

Died in childbirth with their first child, Thomas, who also died.

They had the following children:

  M i Thomas TERRILL was born in 1835. He died in 1835.

Arthur PARKER [Parents] was born about 1800. He married Elizabeth TERRILL on 29 Mar 1833 in , Boone Co., Kentucky.

There is another Arthur Parker, and I hope that this is not an error with his name. I wrote the following to the terrill genforum:

I have a Reuben Terrill, b. KY, the son of Archibald Terrill, b. abt 1755 and Sarah Hutchinson, b. abt 1770. I have no spouse for him, but have his Terrill line back.

I have an Elijah Parker, b. 21 Dec 1840, d. 9 Sep 1931, who on 21 Nov 1867 m. Adelaide Victoria Terrill, who was b. 6 Mar 1849 and d. 20 Jun 1910. I have their 7 children. I don't have his parents, but have hers.

Elizabeth TERRILL [Parents] was born on 18 Nov 1813 in , , Kentucky. She died on 13 Dec 1863 in , Randolph Co., Missouri. Elizabeth married Arthur PARKER on 29 Mar 1833 in , Boone Co., Kentucky.

Other marriages:
YATES, John Marshall

Suspect that Elizabeth and John Yates married late in life and had no children as John had already had 12 children from wife, Virginia Christian, who d. 1841.

They had the following children:

  F i Hannah PARKER
  F ii Mary PARKER

John Marshall YATES was born on 29 Jul 1796 in , , Virginia. He died on 12 Nov 1872 in , , Missouri. John married Elizabeth TERRILL after 1841.

Other marriages:
CHRISTIAN, Virginia

For his Yates line back, switch over to my Wayland Genealogy page.

Believed to be the same John Marshall Yates who m. Virginia Christian (born 22 May 1800, died 1841 after giving him 12 children). A note in another source says that John Yates was the "ancestor of Weechie (Yates) Estill, a Terrill historian who supplied data for book by Inez Doshier". Source #1830 says that the last child of Va. Christian was b. 1841 (she died in childbirth?) and was named William Viley (Wiley?) Yates. Notes are unclear, but it appears that it indicates that John had 8 more children by his second wife Eliz. Terrill (Parker).

The following from newspaper may be his grandson:

According to my research their daughter Sarah Elizabeth, born 1833(stated
