30. David Terry (Thomas⁴ Thomas³ Jasper² Thomas¹) was born abt 1775 of Moreland Twp, Montgomery, Pennsylvania. He does not appear in the 1790-1820 censuses of Pennsylvania. It is widely believed without proof (viz. FamilySearch Family Tree, Ancestry trees and other sources) that this David married Sarah Doran of New Jersey, but this is almost certainly wrong.²⁵¹ David, the son of Thomas4, clearly has disappeared from Pennsylvania, but then perhaps shows up in the Carolinas? There was a David Terry resident in Craven County in the 1800 census²⁵² that was the right age to be the son of Thomas Terry and Olly Davis. There is no documentary proof for this. There are other possibilities, but they are less likely.

In some way, we must deal with the fact that John Thomas Terry was born 22 Mar 1800 at New Bern, Craven, North Carolina and he was shown by Y-DNA analysis to be a descendant of Thomas Terry of Bucks (b. 1653).

John Thomas Terry could be a grandson of William Terry b. 1724 (m. Rachel Manson), although Y-DNA analysis disfavors this possibility.²⁵³ There are already two other descendants of William Terry who left Bucks for Virginia that have been shown to be descendants of Thomas Terry of Bucks by Y-DNA analysis. Their common ancestor is the Virginian John Terry (1760-1842), son of William.

‘David’ and Mrs. Terry had at least one child.

108 i. JOHN THOMAS TERRY was born 22 Mar 1800 at New Bern, Craven, North Carolina and died 31 Oct 1855; buried²⁵⁴ with his wife at Freeman Cemetery, Troup, Georgia. He married Julia Brooks abt 1824. She was born 26 Aug 1807 at North Carolina and died 10 Apr 1863; also buried at Freeman Cemetery. John Terry was one of the first settlers of Troup County, Georgia.²⁵⁵ The 1850 Census of District 800, Troup, Georgia²⁵⁶ shows John Thomas (age 50) with wife Julia and eight children.

NOTES

1. The Terry-line founder Thomas may have been attracted to Bucks County because of William Penn’s promise that ‘Penn’s Land’ would be a haven for Quakers, where they would be able to worship as they chose. The Society of Friends had only separated themselves, under the leadership of George Fox, from the Church of England in 1640 after the Cromwellian revival. Fox had the idea that people could have a direct experience of Christ without benefit of clergy; he bade them ‘tremble at the word of the Lord’ (Isaiah 66:2) hence were they called ‘Quakers’ by many. Their numbers rose to be one-third of the English population by the mid-18th century. As pacifists they were promptly persecuted in England with several laws passed in the late 17th century to curtail their activities in England (Wikipedia).

43. By the beginning of the War of 1812 most members of the Yonge Street congregation including the Terrys had joined a pacifist splinter group called the ‘Children of Peace’ founded by David Willson, a New York Quaker emigrant, who also arrived in 1801. When the militia conscription for the War of 1812 arrived in Upper Canada not only did the Quakers refuse to serve, but they also refused to pay the militia fee as most had come from and were sympathetic to the United States.

Whereas the ‘plain folk’ (Quakers) had no musical tradition, the Children of Peace created the first civilian band in Canada and built the first organ in Ontario. By the 1820’s the group had developed a cooperative economy and had founded their own credit union. By selling their farm produce as a group, they could get better prices. They were not communal, but had a land-sharing system that made them, as a group, prosperous farmers in an era when new farmers frequently failed. By the late 1820’s they had founded their own town “Hope” (later Sharon) and had begun the construction of the Sharon Temple, an imitation of the Temple of Solomon, completed 1831.
