From Renee Straub 6/98:

The information below is not up to date, he had a second wife but she did
not live long enough to make any of the censuses. I happened to find it
while visiting MO & looking through the marriage records. But I was unable
to find any death records for any of them. The graves seem to have been on there land and many of the markers no longer exist, if anyone even knows
where it is.

Rebecca was born in 1808 in , , Kentucky. She died before 1864. Rebecca married Fountain TERRILL about 1829.

Rec'd this email 3/99 without name on it:

I am a direct descendent of Fountain's. There is a tradition in my family that my mother comes from a famous Indian Chief. A book about chiefs was in her
home in 1910.

I believe that Rebeccah was the daughter of Rebeccah Galloway and Tecumseh. There is adequate evidence that they had an affair and even talked marriage. Fountain was in the direct line of passage from Lexington to Ohio where the Galloway's travelled (Boone County) Ky.

Tragically a tin photo of Rebecca in full Inidan regalia has been lost.

Robert TERRILL [Parents] was born in 1809 in , Boone Co., Kentucky. He married Malinda WALTON on 31 Dec 1830.

Reference Terrill Bulletin by Ellsberry. Children listed are from the 1860 and 1870 Chariton Co. MO census; and 1850 Howard Co. Census. Since one child was b. in Kty. in 1836 and the next in MO in 1838, it is easy to determine when the family made the move to MO. Recent find was him in 1840 Howard Co. MO census on p. 29 (have not checked this out).

Here are the 1850 Howard Co. Census pages:

http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mo/howard/census/1850/166b.gif http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mo/howard/census/1850/167a.gif

On these pages he is Robt. Terrill, 41; M. Terrill, 35 f; Mary A. Terrill 18; James A. Terrill 16; Rebecca Terrill 14; Robt. Terrill 12; A. Terrill 9 (sex unreadable as marked over); Nancy L. Terrill 7; Jno. Terrill 5; Simon Terrill 2; Jos. Terrill 2. All born in KY except from 12 yr old Robt down, who were born in MO.

Malinda WALTON [Parents] was born on 22 Jun 1813. She died on 24 Dec 1872. Malinda married Robert TERRILL on 31 Dec 1830.

I have a photo of her tombstone in the Salisbury, MO cemetary, which is quite ornate. It says, "Malinda, wife of Robert Terrill, died Dec. 24, 1872, aged
59 ys. 6 ms. 2 ds." From this I determined her date of birth. The Walton sisters seemed to like to marry the Terrills. Malinda's sister, Nancy, was the second wife of her husband's brother John Jr.. Her sister, Matilda Ann, was the wife of his other brother, Joshua. And, another sister m. Jessie Terrill, the son of Robert Terrill. An Amanda Walton m. George Terrill #2901, the son Nancy Walton and John Terrill Jr.

They had the following children:

  F i Mary A. TERRILL was born in 1832 in , , Kentucky.

  F vi Nancy L. TERRILL was born in 1843 in , , Missouri.
  M vii John P. TERRILL
  M viii Joshua W. TERRILL
