Benjamin F. TERRILL [Parents] was born on 15 Apr 1836 in Boon, Kentucky. He died on 10 Aug 1903 in Jacksboro, TX. Benjamin married Christina KETTLE.
Possibly the same man as found on p. 22 of the Sugar Creek Township, 1870 Randolph Co. MO census, as B.F. Terrill, age 34, along with wife Christina, age 23; children: Mary J. age 7; Eliza M. age 4; and Josephine J. age 6 months.

Christina KETTLE was born about 1838. She died before 1880. Christina married Benjamin F. TERRILL.
She is not with husband and children in 1880 census on the farm of Benjamin's widowed mother, so it is assumed she died before then.

Other marriages:
TERRILL, Mary Elizabeth
Carole wrote 8/99:
"On page 830 on the 1860 census for Randolph Co., MO I found the following
family which I think is your Francis Marion Evans.
Marion Evans, age 32, farmer, born MO
Lucretia Evans, age 23, born MO
Mary F. Evans, age 6, born MO
Henry O. Evans, age 4, born MO
John J. Evans, age 2, born MO
Lena L. Evans, age 6 months, born MO
The township the family lived in was Prairie Twp near Renick and the date was
Jun 14. I take it that Francis Marion's first wife was already dead by this
time and he had already been remarried to her sister. The family is living
right next to a James & Eliza Terrill who I believe are Lucretia's parents.
I have some marriage CDs but could find no marriage date listed for either
marriage. I did find 4 Evans family in the 1850 census index living in
Randolph Co., MO. They were:
Gaines Evans, Sugar Creek Twp, page 229
J.H. Evans, Union Twp, page 273
John Evans, Union Twp, page 274
Q. S. Evans, Salt Spring Twp, page 220"

James Terrill CHRISTIAN [Parents] was born on 23 Oct 1868 in , Randolph Co., Missouri. He died on 29 Mar 1950 in Claude, , Texas. James married Georgia E. JONES on 5 Apr 1900 in , Jacks Co., Texas.
CHRISTIAN, JAMES TERRILL (1868-1950). James Terrill Christian, rancher, the second of the ten children of George Richard and Louisa (Terrill) Christian, was born near Moberly, Missouri, in 1868. In 1881 the family moved to a homestead on Lynn Creek, near Antelope, Jack County, Texas, where they engaged in ranching and the children received much of their elementary education. In 1889 Jim Christian and his older brother Paul rode west to the Panhandle and were employed as cowhands on the JA Ranch. Although Paul returned to the Jack County homestead after a year, Jim stayed on and was later joined by four younger brothers, Will, Ben, Robert, and Ernest. Robert and another cowhand were killed by lightning during a roundup in 1895.
During his fifteen years as a JA employee, Christian gradually worked his way up from horse wrangler to wagon boss. In 1900 he was made manager of the JA's Mulberry Creek Division, near Claude. On April 5 of that year he married Georgia Jones, whom he had known from his youth; the couple had four children. In 1902 Christian began homesteading two sections of choice land near the rim of Palo Duro Canyon in western Armstrong County and next to the tracts filed on by his brothers Ben and Ernest. He remained with the JA for another year and then began building up his own herd of cattle, which he branded with a Figure 3, similar to that of R. O. Watkins in Kaufman County. After their first two-room house burned in March 1904, the Christians were forced to build again. They also donated a plot of land for a schoolhouse.
Jim and Georgia Christian were both active in community affairs in Claude. He served for years on the school board, while she helped form Armstrong County's first Union Sunday school. They were members of the Disciples of Christ and charter members of the Panhandle-Plains Historical Society, which they helped to organize. Christian was a longtime Mason and Shriner and was active in the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. The Christians turned their ranching operations over to their sons in August 1929 and spent their retirement years in Claude. Christian died on March 28, 1950, from the effects of a stroke he had suffered in 1945; he was buried in Claude. Since the breakup and reduction of the JA properties, the Figure 3 remains one of the few ranch homesteads still owned by the family of the original founder. It is noted for its registered purebred Herefords and famous Cowboy Breakfasts held on the north rim of Palo Duro Canyon for tour groups and visiting notables.

Gray BOULWARE was born about 1785. He married Harriet TERRILL.
Ellsberry gives this man's name as "Boulward", but I believe it is an error.
I have seen a lot of Boulware names but no Boulward names.
Harriet TERRILL [Parents] was born in 1787. She married Gray BOULWARE.
Lynch TERRILL [Parents] was born in 1784. He married Eleanor Addison CALLIS.
Possibly named after Sarah Lynch, the wife of his father's first cousin Micajah Terrill (#3314), but most likely there is a closer Lynch relation unknown at this time. Sarah Lynch's brother, Charles Lynch, m. Ann Terrill, but I have not identified her as yet. Do not know if it is the same Lynch, but
The booklet, "Original Land Purchases of Randolph County, Missouri" by Cecille Taylor Rice, pub. by the Randolph County Historical Society has this on him:
Terrell, Lynch 6 Dec 1833 purchased 40 acres in Randolph County, shown on p.
55 of original book.
Terrill, Lynch 16 May 1835 purchased 80 acres in Randolph Co., on p. 80.
There is a Lynch Terrill who buys land in Randolph Co. 1837:
