Surnames: Terrill Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Xl.2ADI/16.1.1.2 Message Board Post: This is probably unrelated, but you never know. My ggrandfather, John Gunn Terrill, lived in the Webbers Falls, Oklahoma area from about 1880 till his death. He took in a boy named Walter at some point and finished raising him. Now, to my knowledge, this Walter never took the last name of Terrill. I just found him listed with the family in an earlier census and my mother confirmed that she remembered stories about Walter. I cannot remember the last name that was listed for him. If you think this is a link, let me know and I will dig for his last name. It would be somewhere in my research stacks!
