There is no doubt that Timothie Tirrell, citizen and leatherseller of London, whose will was proved on 11th August 1656, was a son of Robert as his legatees included his brother, Robert, William, & Avery, his sister Mary Waller who under this name benefited from the will of her brother William, and the poor of Hagbourne."

TERRELL, JOSEPH CHRISTOPHER (1831-1909). Joseph C. Terrell, lawyer, businessman, and Civil War officer, was born in Sumner County, Tennessee, on October 28, 1831, the son of Dr. Christopher Joseph and Susan (Kennerly) Terrell, who were en route to Booneville, Missouri, from Virginia. After graduating from the local academy in 1850 he moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, to study law with his brother, Alexander W. Terrell. He received a license two years later and immediately set out for California. In 1853 Terrell opened an office in Santa Clara, but he had few clients and moved to Monterey the next year and to Oregon in 1855. While wandering about another year he occasionally practiced law, but his western years were frustrating and financially unrewarding. Terrell crossed the continent in 1856 to visit relatives in Missouri and Virginia. By January 1857 he had decided to return to the Pacific coast and stopped on the way to visit his brother Alexander, by then a judge in Austin, Texas. Joseph Terrell was in Fort Worth in February, looking for a wagon train, when he met Dabney C. Dade, an attorney and former schoolmate, who persuaded him to end his odyssey. They formed a partnership that lasted until the Civil War. Although he had opposed secession, Terrell put loyalty to his adopted state above personal conviction when the war broke out. At his own expense, he recruited a cavalry unit, which became Company F of Maj. Edwin Waller, Jr.'s, Thirteenth Texas Battalion in Gen. Thomas Green'sqv brigade. Terrell fought with distinction at Yellow Bayou, Camp Bisland, Fordoche, and other battles in Arkansas and Louisiana. To stay with his men, he repeatedly refused promotion and always remained a captain. After war he returned to Fort Worth, resumed the practice of law, and eventually became a wealthy landowner. He married Mary V. Lawrence of Hill County in May 1871; they had five children. After her death he married Mary Peters Young of Marshall, on March 31, 1887. In 1906 he published his memoirs, Reminiscences of the Early Days of Fort Worth. On October 15, 1909, Terrell, then almost seventy-eight, died accidentally from an overdose of strychnine that he had taken as a tonic.

In 1864 she graduated from Marshall Masonic Female Institute,qv a school her father had helped found and for which he served as a trustee. For the next twenty-three years she taught in local schools. She was a devout Presbyterian and became an avid student of the Bible. In 1887, at the age of forty-one, she married Joseph Christopher Terrell,qv a Fort Worth attorney and a widower. While raising five stepchildren, Mary Terrell became prominent in women's club work in Fort Worth. She was a founder of the Texas Federation of Women's Clubsqv in 1897 and served as its second president. During her two terms in office (1899-1901), she urged Texas women's clubs to establish local public libraries, and many did. Women's clubs are credited with having founded 70 percent of the state's libraries. Mrs. Terrell led the federation in its successful fight for a Texas library commission and also supported the founding of the Girls' Industrial School in Denton (now Texas Woman's University). After her second term as Texas federation president, she served as a director of the General Federation of Women's Clubs from 1902 to 1904. She also was an organizer and a charter member of the Texas State Library Association (now the Texas Library Associationqv), founded in 1902, and served as its vice president for two terms. In March 1909, Governor Thomas M. Campbellqv appointed her to the first Texas State Library and Historical Commission, a post she held until 1911. After the death of her husband in 1909 Mary Terrell returned to Marshall, where she spent the remaining eleven years of her life. She died on October 16, 1920, and was buried at East Oakwood Cemetery in Fort Worth.
