Terrill/Terrill/Tyrrell Lines

Richard C. TERRILL [Parents] was born about 1750. He died in 1797 in , Halifax Co., Virginia. Richard married Elizabeth.

From: hpowers@i2020.net (Harvey Powers):

"Richard C. Terrell appears first on the Pittsylvania tithables in 1782 with 1 tithable, 3 horses and 7 cattle.

In the census of 1782, his household is shown with a family of five. On 28 May 1793, his oldest son must have reached the age of 16 as Richard C. Terrell's record shows two tithables and two horses. This suggests a birthdate of 1776-7 for the oldest son, which of course, fits Jesse. In Feb 1796, Richard C. Terrell sells his land in Pittsylvania County (on "Stinking Creek" and "Straight Stone Creek") Deed Book 10, p. 313-314. By 1797, he is no longer on the tithable list in Pittsylvania County. But he appears on the
Halifax County list with three tithables (we speculate they are Richard C., and sons Jesse and William). He has moved to Halifax to help his father with the father's farm.

Family stories say Richard C. Terrell and his father both died in 1797. In that year (04 Jul 1797), son William appears with one tithable, on the Halifax list. In 1798, Jesse appears, also with one tithable (this is right after his first marriage. And Richard C. Terrell's widdow, Elizabeth, appears as head of her household.

Apparently one or more of Richard's children were not old enough to settle Richard's estate until 1809 (when James would have been 19 according to our calculations). We believe Anthony was even younger, perhaps 16-18.

We have no will for Richard C. Terrell (at least not yet). We do know three of the children listed here are certain. Richard C. signed the bond for Jemima. And after his death, there is a Halifax County Court Order in
1807 ordering the widdow (Elizabeth) and the youngest sons, James and Anthony, to maintain Difficult Bridge Road (Cousin John A. Terrell, Jr. says he found that order in the basement of the Halifax County Courthouse). The other children are based on Census records in Caswell County, NC, and Halifax, VA, as interpreted by Halifax County Genealogist Marian Chiarito.

Elizabeth was born about 1755. She married Richard C. TERRILL.

Joseph Walker SNODDY was born in 1846. He died in 1911. Joseph married Mary Alice TERRILL on 23 Apr 1872 in , Randolph Co., Missouri.

I received this email 3/00 in answer to my inquiry to the Howard Co., MO list, but I don't know how this Joseph Walker Snoddy fits in. With that same middle name, are probably related:

Samuel walker and Susan Frances (HARVEY) SNODDY are Louella (SNODDY) HUME's
parents. Samuel Walker SNODDY was the son of Joseph Walker SNODDY and
Nacissa Hannah FOSTER. Stephen T. GARNER was married to Nancy SNODDY,
daughter of Joseph and Narcissa (FOSTER) SNODDY, I believe S. W. SNODDY was
probably Samuel Walker SNODDY (see below) and R. M. SNODDY was another son
Robert M. SNODDY.

Mary Alice TERRILL [Parents] was born on 25 Jan 1852 in , Randolph Co., Missouri. She died on 28 Apr 1930 in , Beckham Co., Oklahoma. Mary married Joseph Walker SNODDY on 23 Apr 1872 in , Randolph Co., Missouri.

Mary Alice TERRILL was born Jan 25, 1852 in Randolph Co., Missouri. She had four half-sisters named Eva J., Flora, Jessie, Elizabeth. She married Joseph Walker SNODDY on April 23, 1872 in Randolph Co., Missouri. She moved to Beckham Co., Oklahoma and died there on April 28, 1930. This is what I knew about my wife's great- grandmother when I started searching. She named a son Frank Walker SNODDY and I noticed that Frank WALKER married Eliza TERRILL in 1854. The same year Mary Alice TERRILL, minor heir of Robert H. TERRILL, chose Jesse TERRILL as her guardian. According to the Christian - Dosier book, Robert H. TERRILL, son of Jesse and Abigail (WALTON) TERRILL died in 1852 and was married to Elizabeth ______. I found the family in Chariton Co., Illinois in 1870. Eliza had died and Joseph F(ranklin) WALKER was listed with his four daughters Eva J., Flora, Lizzie
and Jesse. Two sons were also listed who died young of TB. Also listed was Lydia W. ALLEGA 67 of Ohio. In 1880 Joseph F. WALKER is listed as Frank and remarried. Mariah ALLEGA 76 is listed this time as his mother - in - law. Was Lydia W. /Mariah ALLEGA the mother of Mrs. Eliza TERRILL who married
Joseph Franklin WALKER?
