Terrill/Terrill/Tyrrell Lines


Joseph TERRILL [Parents] was born on 28 Jan 1745. He died on 9 Apr 1787. Joseph married Elizabeth MILLS on 29 Sep 1767.

Reference Dicken and "Colonial Families of the U.S.", Vol. VII, p. 267. Believed to have other children, including David and Richard, but not certain. There is a Joseph Terrell listed as a citizen signing a Declaration of Indepen- dence in Albemarle on 21 April 1779, but not known if this is the same one.

Elizabeth MILLS was born on 26 Jan 1747. She died on 22 Nov 1833. Elizabeth married Joseph TERRILL on 29 Sep 1767.

They had the following children:

  M i Charles TERRILL
  M ii John TERRILL was born about 1770. He died after 1830.

Appears in the tax roll in Hanover in 1799; still residing there in 1830

Henry TERRILL [Parents] was born on 24 Dec 1753 in Culpeper Co., Virginia. He died in 1823 in Garrard Co., Kentucky. Henry married Susan PHILLIPS about 1775.

Other marriages:
ALEXANDER, Martha

My notes say that he moved to Kentucky. I later came across a Henry Terrill in Ellsberry's Terrill Bulletin (1972) who she says was b. abt 1753 in Culpeper Co. VA and d. 1825 in Gerrard Co. Kty. She has him as married to Susan Philip or Phillyps who d. 1790/96. Since this is the only Henry that I have knowledge of born about this time (the year is exactly the same), and since the death of Susan allows him to be married to Martha Alexander at the known time of their marriage, I am going to assume that this is the same man and he married second to Martha, and am placing his line here. Later evidence may show that he is not the son of Robert Terrill Jr., but further proof exists in that he names his first son Robert A. Terrill, after his father, and his second son Henry Towles Terrill after his mother's maiden name of Towles.

I got this 10/99 from Margaret Potvin and entered it in:

Henry Terrill was born in Culpepper Co., VA 24 Dec 1753. He died 1823 in Garrard Co., KY. He m(1) Susan Phillips and m(2) Martha Alexander.

With Susan Phillips:
Henry Terrill, b. culpepper Co., VA 1772; m Charity Judkins in 1797.
Thomas Terrill, b. Culpepper Co., VA 1774, m 27 Jan 1809 Sally Palmer
Nancy Terrill, b. Culpepper Co., VA 1776, m 13 Jun 1791 Joshua Ford
Mary Terrill, b. Culpepper Co., VA 1778, m. James Finnell
Robert Terrill, b. Garrard Co., KY 8 Oct 1780, d. 19 Nov 1859 in Marion Co., MO; m 11 Feb 1806 in Garrard Co., KY to Mary Beazley.

With Martha Alexander:

Overton Terrill, b. KY 1784
James Terrill, b. KY 1786
Sydona Terrill, b. KY 1788
Patsey Terrill, b. KY 1790

There are problems with some of this data. I am not sure that John Terrill belongs there at all. This information came from Emma Dicken's "Terrell Genealogy, from KY Marriage Records,and "Kentucky - A History of the State," by Perrin.

My ancestor is this mysterious John Terrill through Margaret Terrill b. in Paint Lick, KY 27 Oct 1819. If you need anything more specific, let me know, Margaret Potvin
