Jane TERRILL [Parents] was born on 4 Apr 1774 in , , Virginia. She married Joseph Monroe BISHOP on 28 Sep 1793 in , Orange Co., Virginia.
They had the following children:
M i James Terrill BISHOP was born about 1796. M ii Jonathan BISHOP F iii Mary BISHOP iv Frances Willis BISHOP was born about 1802.
Not known if male or female. The spelling for Frances is for female, but the name Willis is a male name. There is a Frances Bishop (#2758) born somewhere around 1813 who m. Benjamin Terrill (#2739), and this could possibly be the same as this Frances, if this is a female. Benjamin is first cousin to #3717, but marriages between first cousins were fairly common in those days.M v Joseph BISHOP

Got this email:
"Thanks for your attempt at help. If had gotten the first names right -- it would have helped you. Barbaras' sister was married to a Robert Jones GILCHRIST. Barbara was married to George Whitfield TERRELL.
I have gotten undocumented information that George Whitfield TERRELL's - Father and mother was James TERRELL, 1-22-1779, born near Lynchburg,
Virginia, d abt 1871; married Penealope ADAMS 6-16-1798 children listed for James TERRELL and Penealope ADAMS as:1) George Whitfied TERRELL, a lawyer, b 1809, (?); Attorney General in TN,
came to TX in 1840; he had a close association with Sam HOUSTON. He was married to Barbara Culp, (date) unk. He died 13 May 1846.I think his wife Barbara (CULP) may have died????because I found a marriage record in a book Compiled by Edythe Rucker Whitley, Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. 1982 - Marriages of GIBSON County Tennesse 1824-1860. George W. TERRILL to Ann BELL, Sept 5, 1839. (Sept 5, 1839). James M. TERRILL, BM.
I do know that he had a wife by the name of Ann who came to TX, what
happened to wife Barbara between 1833 and his marriage to Ann Bell in 1839.
(I located a marriage of Mrs. Ann TERRELL 7/23/1849 in Cherokee County, TX
to a J. C. Harrison. (George Whitfield TERRELL died in 1846 in Houston
County, TX).The reason that I know he was married to Barbara (Culp) is because he and Barbara are listed in a court document in 1833 (I have a copy) where they;
and one of Barbaras' sister Drucilla (CULP) GILCHRIST was listed along with
6 of their minor brothers and sisters. Their Father Daniel CULP , died in
May 1833, GIBSON County, TX.I believe George Whitfield Terrell and Barbara may have had one son named
James TERRELL, born abt 1831, in TN - This James TERRELL shows up on an 1850 Cherokee County, TX census record living with Barbara CULP's brother Daniel
D. Culp. It shows him as 19 years old and born in TN, and a student (his father had died in 1846).Since, I have gotten my material and information straight, do you have any information that would help resolve who his wives were and who his children might be?
2) Capt. Robert Adams TERRELL (b 2-22-1820 and died 3-8-1881 in Terrell,
Texas. He was the founder of Terrell, Texas. Married Emily LOVE.3) Dr. Christian TERRELL (born and died no dates). Married (?)

Penelope ADAMS [Parents] was born about 1779 in , Campbell Co., Virginia. She married James TERRILL on 16 Jun 1798 in Boonville, , Missouri.
I got this email 3/99 and, as a result, have placed Penelope as a child of this: couple. This is pure conjecture, and needs to be investigated and proven.
Re Robert Adams m. Mary Lewis Terrell. HIs death date in 1790.
Died while visiting sister Mildred Ward. You are missing two of the
children,
Penelope Adams b. abt 1786, named in Will.
Mary Terrell Adams b. 1787 supposviely never married. Also named in willRe George Adams (Judge) m. _____ Wissiger. He married Ann Weisiger from Louisville KY, d/o of Daniel
RE Milly Adams m. _ Webb. She married George Webb of Amherst Co.Mary Lewis Terrell Adams moved to Amherst Co after the death of Capt Robert Adams in 1790. There she raised the younger of the 12 living children.
Mary Lewis Terrell Adams (wife of Robert Adams died 5 Oct 1852 in Cambpell
Co Va.I am REALLY curious about the Penelope Adams you have b. abt 1779 m. James Terrell
Adams, Penelope (~1779 - ) - female
b. Abt 1779
spouse: Terrill, James (1779 - ~1871)
- m. 18 Jun 1798
----------child: Terrill, George Whitfield (~1809 - 1846)
----------child: Terrill, Susannah "Susan" (~1813 - )
----------child: Terrill, Christian (~1815 - )
----------child: Terrill, Robert Adams (1820 - 1881)If I have from granddaughters of Robert Adams and set forth in a manuscript done in early 1900 stated Penelope never married, but I had some doubt about that. Here we have a Penelope Adams m. to a Terrell in 1798 and with a
child, Robert Adams Terrell. Do you know where you found that info. I think this is the Penelope, one in the same. Do you have a place of marriage?
There is almost no way for one to be named Penelope Adams and with a child named Robert Adams for her not to be the daughter of Robert Adams and Mary Lewis Terrell. I see you don't have parents for her. I wonder.
Just food for thought?

George CORNELIUS [Parents] was born about 1786. He died in 1868. George married Jane WILLIS on 10 Aug 1814.
One correspondent (Harold Flick, 5672 Balkan Court SW, Ft. Myers, FL 33919) says "Boone County, Kty. records show George as marrying first Jane Willis
and then Elizabeth Willis. He is also shown as representing 'Mrs. Willis' when Mary 'Polly' Willis m. John Grant on 16 Feb, 1820." Mr. Flick was trying to trace the Willis line to Virginia in this 8/96 correspondence.

Peter RUCKER was born about 1740 in , Orange Co., Virginia. He died on 5 May 1794 in , Greene Co., Virginia. Peter married Elizabeth TERRILL.
One source gives his father as Angus Rucker, Rev. War veteran. However, I feel that the more accurate source is "History of Rucker Family" by Mrs. E.J. Whitley, 1927, pp 10,99, which lists this father, John Rucker. Quite often persons interested in D.A.R. membership are too quick to put Rev. War veterans in their lineage.
Elizabeth TERRILL [Parents] was born about 1742 in , , Virginia. She married Peter RUCKER.
