From "Terry Records of Virginia, by Edna Harris Bushnell, 1980":Pittsylvania Co. Va. Deed Book 3, pg 212-217, mentions David, William, Thomas, and Joseph Terry as children of Champness Terry, dec'd 1758 in Louisa Co.;

Also, Pittsylvania Co. Va. Deed Book 9, pg 37, 18 Oct 1790:David Terry and Eleanor, his wife of Louisa Co. .... it being part of 979 acres sold by James Terry to his brother Champness Terry, and Champness left 179 acres to his son David Terry.....

"This Indenture made 11 Sep 1743 between Champness Terry of Louisa County, planter of the one part and Daniel White of Orange County, planter ........"        

The 1782 Tax List for Louisa Co. mentions "Christian Terry (widow of Champness Terry)"

Notes for RICHARD THOMASSON: From: VAThomson@aol.com4/13/2000This is from a private collection.

 "Samuel Thomasson, b. Hanover Co., Va. ca 1722, d. Nicholas Co., Ky. 1793.(Will probated 23 Oct. 1793 - Will Book A)He was m. in Va. ca 1750 to Ann Payne.In his father's will it speaks of him as "of Amelia County."About 1789, he and most of the members of his family left Louisa Co. for Kentucky where they settled in Scott Co.On 5 Oct. 1789 Samuel gave power of attorney to his son, Nathaniel, who remained in Louisa Co. along with his brothers, Elias, William and John.The rest of Samuel's children came to Kentucky.

·         William Thomasson

·         John Thomasson

·         Nathaniel Thomasson m. 28 Dec. 1778 Louisa Co. Martha Wood

·         Samuel Thomasson

·         Richard m. 23 April 1786 Louisa Co., Sarah Terry.His will probated Scott Co., Ky. 27 Sept. 1802.They had issue:

o        Samuel Gentry Thomasson, b. 29 June 1788

o        Richard Thomasson, b. 24 July 1790

o        Frances Thomasson

o        Probably others."

This family is often confused with the family of Samuel Thomson (d.1753) and it's not to hard to see why.~Virginia

Children of SARAH TERRY and RICHARD THOMASSON are:

                i.   SAMUEL GENTRY THOMASSON, b. 29 Jun 1788.

              ii.   RICHARD THOMASSON, b. 24 Jul 1790.

             iii.   FRANCES THOMASSON, b. Aft. 1786.

Generation No. 4

7. DAVID TERRY (CHAMPNESS ??3, JAMES2, STEPHEN1) was born Bef. 1755, and died Bef. 1819.He married ELEANOR BIGGER Abt. 1775 in Louisa Co. VA, daughter of WILLIAM BIGGER and MARTHA POLLARD.She was born Abt. 1755.

Louisa Co. Va. Deed Book O, pg 223 Heirs of David Terry, dec'd, 17 May 1819, lists sons Champness, William, James, and daughters Catherine and Mary Terry, Martha Dunn, Elizabeth Gooch of Louisa Co. - tract of land on Hickory Creek.

The Douglas Register, edited by William M. Jones 1928, refers to three children born to David and Eleanor Biggar Terry.They are Catie [Catherine], Nelly [?], and Champness Biggar Terry.Judging from the match of two of the children with the father's name of James, I have assumed this is the correct family relationship.

In 1782 Tax List for Louisa Co.

Deed Book O, pg. 233--17 March 1819 William Terry, Martin Dunn [married Martha Terry], William Gooch [married Elizabeth Terry] , Champs. Terry, James Terry, Catharine Terry and Polly Terry heirs and representatives of David Terry, dec'd. to James Porter.for divers good causes and $200tract in Louisa County on some of the head branches of Hickory creek containing by survey 20 acres adj.

Terry, James (x) Terry, Catharine (x) Terry, Polly (x) Terry.Rec. 17 May 1819

Marriage Notes for DAVID TERRY and ELEANOR BIGGER: The “Douglas Register” states from the Birth Registry, their first registered child was born 24 Feb 1777l and lists her name as Nelly.It is also interesting that another entry exists for Da. Tyrrie and Hellender Biggar on 14 Jan 1786 -- the date of Champness Biggar Terry’s birth.

Children of DAVID TERRY and ELEANOR BIGGER are:

11.           i.   MARTHA PATSEY TERRY, b. Abt. 1773; d. 21 Apr 1858, Louisa Co. VA.

              ii.   CATHARINE TERRY, b. 24 Feb 17779; d. 11 Feb 1860, Louisa Co. VA10; (Cause of Death: Unknown.)m. JAMES PORTER, 8 Feb 1847, Louisa Co. VA; b. Bef. 1790; d. Bef. 1860.

               v.   JAMES TERRY, b. Bef. 1805; d. Aft. 1860.

According to a lawsuit, this James Terry, brother of Catherine Terry Porter, destroyed her last will and testament. It also says he lived with her from 1832 until she died in 1860.Therefore, I doubt if the information mentioned below, about a James Terry in Highland Co., Va., is the same James Terry.

              vi.   MARY "POLLY" TERRY, b. Bef. 1804; d. Bef. 1866.

             vii.   WILLIAM TERRY, b. Bef. 1805; d. Aft. Sep. 1867, TN.

From lawsuit, Catharine Porter her heirs and distributees were as follows: 1st Her two brothers - James Terry and William Terry and her sister Mary, or as she was sometimes called "Polly" Terry.   William Terry lives in Tennessee and Mary or Polly Terry has since the death of Catharine Porter departed this life intestate, unmarried and without issue.

The other children I have of John Chiles and Polly Tisdale are:

1. John T. Chiles, b. 26 Aug. 1795, m. Mary Lipscomb on 6 Jun. 1831

2. Fendol Chiles, b. 1797, m. Susanna Randolph

William Gooch was one of the executors of the will of my 3xgr. uncle Ralph Quarles.Ralph left most of his estate to the three sons of Lucy Langston, a former slave whom he had emancipated and lived with for about 25 years.After Ralph and Lucy died, the three boys went to Ohio, where the youngest was taken in by William Gooch who had moved there earlier. He lived with Gooch for about five years, treated as a son.

When the Gooches moved further west and were taking the boy with them, one of his brothers got a court injunction to keep him in Ohio.He saw Gooch once when he came back on business but after that never knew what happened to him.The boy was John Mercer Langston, the first Dean of Howard University Law School and the first black elected to Congress from VA.Last June a highway marker was dedicated to him on the Courthouse green, and his great-granddaughter came.Also there were his biographers, Bill and Aimee Lee Cheek.Quintus Massie and I were there as representatives of the Quarles family.It was a great day!I have wondered since reading JML's autobiography "From the Virginia Plantation to the National Capitol" what happened to the Gooches, and now I know.I wonder if their descendants are alive and know of the part their ancestor played in history?
