Hello, Cousins, I am sure I have left some one off this list and have some on who would rather not be associated with the rest if us. I am carry a meeting of the Terrible Terrells for a round up on my behalf. As some of you know I am a lost sheep. I can go no further back that my grandfather because he ran away with a pretty (I hope so!!) circus performer around 1926-27 while serving as postmaster in Memphis. Here is the way it play out. His name was Chilton DeWitt TERRELL. From looking at the migration of Terrells and like surnames and their concentrations around the for the first 150 years the migration of his family probably went from VA, NC, TN, KY, AR,MO,TX, and maybe to OH to North and GA in South. Chilton Dewitt TERRELL was allegedly born around 1890 in St. Francis County, Forest City, AR There is a land grant record of a Terrell there around 1840 and a DeWitt County AR. Terrell Cty GA etc. So we did spread out. I know my grandfather had several brothers and sisters and that his parents must have died while they were young. Here are the links I am trying to run down: ALLEN, FERGUSON, CHILTON, MAY, DAY, AND DEWITT. I am leaning towards Ireland because some were Catholic. I do know Ferguson was Catholic because of stories of my Dad sneaking out of Mass when he went with his grandmother in Louisville, KY. If any of you have any links or information sources to the TERRELLS who may have traveled that route from the VA or NC and the other surnames mentioned above please let me know. And obviously Terrell could have been changed many times along the way in order to avoid the law or shotgun weddings. It is interesting to read the history of the Tyrrells in England and Ireland; however, I need that special link especially to the Chiltons and the Dewitts - they have to be surnames and I have pretty well discounted the Chiles Terrell Texas line. Thank you very much for your assistance and I am apologize if I stepped on anyone's' toes or inconvenience anyone in anyway. Warmest regards, Jack Norton Terrell, CPA San Antonio, Texas
