Thomas Terry of Bucks is a son of Robert Terry of Flushing, Queens, New York
Richard L. Tolman, Ph. D.
DNA evidence has now proven that Thomas Terry of Bucks is a son of Robert Terry of Flushing, Queens, New York. Five proven descendants of Thomas Terry, b. 1653 of Bucks County, Pennsylvania have DNA matches (~20 each) to the 17th century Farrington families of Flushing, New York and Massachusetts indicating that Thomas himself was a possessor of Farrington DNA from his mother Sarah Farrington Terry.

There were many Farrington matches (>21; to the author, a Terry descendant[simple_tooltip content=’6. See the essay ‘Addendum 1. Analysis of Y-DNA Markers Relevant to Thomas Terry of Bucks b 1653’ online at www.29deadpeople.com.‘]6[/simple_tooltip]). Question: Why are there so many matches? Answer: Whether a match is useful depends on whether there is a useful paper pedigree attached to it which allows a Common Ancestor to be identified. The number of matches at a given generation distance should be relatively constant with shared centiMorgans within statistical limits. The Farringtons are a well-studied family with lots of records that allow lengthy pedigrees to be constructed—hence lots of useful matches. Shown below in Cluster 1 is a selection of matches, common ancestor Edmund Farrington (1588-1670), the immigrant. Parker’s ‘John Farrington of Dedham’ vide supra is also proven to be a relative of Edmund Farrington (in Buckinghamshire) as several matches were discovered to the Dedham family (not shown).
There were also many Tilton matches; a selection is shown below in Cluster 2. This absolutely confirms Rebecca as a dau of Robert Terry and a sister to Thomas Terry of Bucks.
It is suspicious that there are many low cM Tilton matches (not shown) to generations earlier than John Tilton II (married Rebecca Terry)—there must have been another Terry-Tilton DNA exchange (marriage) earlier than 1674; perhaps in England.
There are no conclusive matches to John Terry; records in New Jersey and New York are too poor in this time period and what records exist cannot be separated easily from the Massachusetts/Connecticut Terrys or from the Southold Terrys (cf. ‘Terry Origins’, in preparation). There are a couple of possibilities of possible descendants—both are born in New Jersey (Monmouth Co.).

51. John and Rebecca Tilton/Tillton raised their family in Gravesend, Long Island. John’s brother Peter and his wife Rebecca Brazier (New England Marriages Prior to 1700: Tilton/Brazier, 22 Apr 1663; Ancestry) lived in Gravesend when they were first married (one child born there) and then both couples relocated to Shrewsbury, Monmouth, New Jersey; Peter’s family moved first. They were both Quakers. Peter’s family appears in the Shrewsbury Monthly Meeting (U. S. Quaker Meeting Records 1681-1935, Shrewsbury MM, 1674-1685, p. 137, children and birthdates shown; Ancestry), John’s does not. Sometimes the two ‘Rebecca Tilton’s can be confused.
