I am trying once again to see if I have any 'cousins' out there. My ancestors Richmond and his brother Philemon lived and owned land and served in the Rev. War in Bladen/ Robeson County area of NC before moving to Liberty County Georgia after 1810. I have heard their father was James, but can find no James in NC or SC records for that time. I know there is a Richmond TERRELL on your 1800 census, but I don't know if that one is mine.Since you are just across the line from Bladen, does anyone know about the Marlboro TERRELLs. I'd be happy to share what I have on this family. Elaine

ELAINE, The first Terrell I have on my chart is a WILLIAM TERRELL, lived and died 1782 in the Marlboro Co.,SC area. He witnessed a Will in St. David's Parish in 1772. (from the Min. of St. David's Parish) In "Anson Co.,NC Abstracts of Early records", by McBee, page 41, 12 July 1766, PHILEMON TERRILL/TERRELL of SC to Vann Swearington of Anson, for 3 £, tract in Anson on Cheek's Creek, 100 acres granted to John Cannon. ( For more info on this deed, it is listed in Deed BK H#1. Anson Co.,NC was divided in 1779. Present Cheek's Creek rises in se Montgomery Co. , flows sw into Richmond Co. where it enters Little River. ) Same book as above, page 45, Dec. 1778/ JERIMIAH TERRELL and Louisa his wife, and WILLIAM TERRELL , to James Auld, all of Anson, ..sellling tract of land .where JERIMIAH TERRELL now lives...west of Pee Dee...£150 for 150 acres..(sounds like he is moving) I have an old book called "ANSON CO.,NC DEED ABSTRACTS VOLUME 1: 1749-1757". page 24 /date: 2 Dec. 1751, a deed recorded that was part of a grant of 400 A to JAMES TERR(ERS), 7 APR 1749, on a branch of Little River. (Whoever copied this down could not tell what the certain spelling was, and it could be either Terry or Terrall. A JOSHUA TERREL and a WILLIAM TERREL are also listed in "Min. of the St. David's Society 1777-1835" This was organized to provide schooling for the children of the planters along the Pee Dee River. It was first organized and started in the original Welsh Neck Baptist Church, and a new building was later built across the river on a higher piece of land because of the flooding the church was experiencing. The church itself eventually moved over to the same area which put it into Darlington Co., SC Back in those days, it was all just the Cheraw Dist. "My" WM. TERRELL married into the Pledger family, as the second husband of my ancestor, Elizabeth Pledger. They attended the Welsh Neck Baptist Church there (in Marlboro Co.,SC (1775-1779), and had one son, named John, who then had ten daughters with his wife, Ann Allison. The marriage record of WILLIAM TERRELL & ELIZABETH PLEDGER was in Richmond Co.,NC. The folks in this area sometimes had farms in both Richmond and Marlboro counties. They went back and forth all the time. Someone shared this with me a while back which I have in my notes:. James Terrill, Planter from St. Margaret's Parish, Caroline Co., VA sp-Margaret issue: 1.
