    Notes:

    Indenture of James Terry to Thomas Foster of Southham Parish
    Posted 11 Apr 2023 by John Moore
    Deed Book 2, p. 45: Indenture 29 Jan 1753 - James Terry of Antrim Parish, Halifax County to Thomas Foster of Southham - 630 acres in Southham adjoining John William, Robert Peak, James Allen and witnessed by William Womack Jr., John Woodson, and Daniel Coleman.

    ***Note: Dr. Thomas Foster is connected to the Tinsley and Golding families in Essex, VA. His daughter Ann Foster marries William Davenport; son of Thomas Davenport who was married to Grace Terry - a cousin to James Terry above. Grace Terry's father was Thomas Terry; a judge in King William, VA in 1702. Thomas Terry was a brother to Captain James Terry (father of James Terry b. abt 1702) who married Mary Diane Royall. Dr. Foster was in Prince Edward County, VA by 1761 (8 yrs later) where he then married Caroline Rogers after his first wife Elizabeth Meador Foster died abt. 1755 likely in Southham Parish, Cumberland, VA. Shortly after 1761, Dr. Thomas Foster moves to South Carolina where he dies in 1769. Dr. Foster's connection to the Tinsley and Golding families through the marriages of his brother John and Sister Elizabeth to Goldings in Essex, VA further cements the connection of the Tinsleys and Goldings to the Davenport and Terry families and to Joseph Irby who may have been the brother to Elizabeth Irby who married Olive Terry, son of James Terry who deeds 630 acres in Southham, VA to Dr. Thomas Foster. We now know that James Tinsley b. abt 1726 in Essex, VA was connected to James and Zachariah Terry (see James Terry's will of 1775) and James Tinsley's nephew James Tinsley b. abt 1759 who escaped the Hayes Massacre. We can also find that James Tinsley b. abt 1759 fought at the Guilford County Courthouse where Olive Terry (married to Elizabeth Irby) also fought. We also see a connection through deeds in Southham Parish, Cumberland, VA with Zachariah Terry (James Terry's son), and witnesses on these deeds or land adjoining were amongst others such as William Womack Jr., John Williams (son or husband of Mary Womack - daughter to William Womack and sister to William Womack Jr.) and James Terry. The Davenports can be seen on many of these deeds as well. *See Davenport information attached.

    Joseph Irby b. 1728 and Peter/Elizabeth Cook Irby (their daughter Rebecca Anne Irby Grant)

    You might ask, why am I posting this story in Joseph Irby's gallery? Because I now have another very interesting family connection involving who I believe was Joseph Irby's half brother; Peter Irby b. abt 1713 in Prince George, VA to Dr. Joseph Irby and Elizabeth Ludson. Peter Irby married Elizabeth Cook. Their youngest daughter Rebecca Ann Irby (b. abt 1769 in Pittsylvania, VA) first married John Grant who was b. abt 1768 in Stafford or Loudoun, VA. They married in Pittsylvania. Their son James Grant b. abt 1787 in Pittsylvania married Mary Ann Swepson or Swepston b. abt 1794. Mary Ann Swepson Grant was a daughter to John Swepson b. 1759 and Dolly Ashford - they, too, married in Pittsylvania, VA. John Swepson's father was Richard Swepson b. abt 1720 in Gloucester, VA and Jane Jeffries b. abt 1724; Richmond, VA. John Swepson b. 1759 was the younger brother of Lucy Swepson b. abt 1740 in Lunenburg, VA. Lucy Swepson's second husband was William Peasley. They were married about 1764 in Halifax, VA. They had one son and two daughters; Mary Peasley who married Edward Shackelford b. 1768 to Roger Shackelford and Nancy Carter. I mentioned the Shackelford's and their connection to the Carter family in another attachment. (See attachment). The sister to Mary Peasley was Lucy Peasley who married Abner Hiatt. They were my 4th gr grandparents. If you go back now to John Grant who married Rebecca Anne Irby, you can see that John Grant's older sister Rachel L. Grant (my 6th gr grandmother) married a Samuel Dennis also born abt. 1750 to a John Dennis of Henrico, VA. Not a lot is know about him. It is possible that he died in South Carolina. His son Samuel Dennis b. abt 1770 in Orange, NC married unknown Hannah. Their daughter Rachel L. Dennis b. abt 1791 married my 4th gr grandfather Gardner Dennis; son of Henry Mullins and Mary Polly Terry; daughter of Olive Terry and Elizabeth Irby, both born abt 1727 in VA. I believe that Elizabeth Irby was sister to Joseph Irby b. 1728 and half sister to Peter Irby b. abt 1713 in Prince George, VA. So...we now have two family connections from the Grant family to Irby, Shackelford, Carter, Swepson, Peasley, Hiatt, Dennis, etc. Also, John Grant, before he married Rebecca Ann Irby, was married to Mary Mosby. They had a son before she died; William Mosby Grant. William Mosby Grant married Mary Polly Spillar Graves b. 1790. They married in Fayette, KY. Mary Polly Spillar Graves was the daughter of Bartlett Graves b. abt 1766 in Louisa, VA and Francis Lane b. abt 1767. Bartlett Graves was the son of Thomas Graves b. 1721 and Isabella Bartlett b. 1739. Thomas Graves was the son of Thomas Graves b. 1691 and Sarah Davenport. Sarah Davenport was the sister of Thomas Davenport who married Grace Terry - cousin of James Terry - grandfather to Mary Polly Terry who married Henry Mullins; parents of Gardner Mullins mentioned above. I will add more information as time permits. Feel free to follow the links as well. *Note as well that Nathaniel Parrott and Penelope Irby (sister of Peter Irby above), b. abt 1707 in Henrico, Va had a son named John Parrott b. abt 1730 who was married to Ruth Treadwell. Their daughter Elizabeth Judith Mourning Parrott b. abt 1766 married Easom Graves. Easom Graves was the son of John Adams Graves and Frances Coleman. In turn, John Graves was son to John Graves b. abt 1714 and married Lucy Adams. John Graves B. 1714 was the brother to Thomas Graves mentioned above b. 1721 who married Isabella Bartlett. So, you can see just how closely intertwined these families were. Not to leave out that it is likely that a daughter to Thomas and Isabella Graves; Ann Graves - married Charles Warren. They lived in Pulaski, KY. There are lots of family ties to this couple that connect to Henry and Mary Polly Terry Mullins in Rockcastle Co., KY (Langfords, Randolph, Blankenship, Farley, Sutton, Haggard, Gentry, Overton, Harris, and so on.

    Charles Robert Warren and Anne Warren; connection to the Mullins/Terry/Davenport/Irby and other allied families in VA, NC and KY.

    Charles Robert Warren was due to family associations and connections, likely first married to Ann Graves; daughter of Thomas Graves b. 1721 and Isabella Susan Bartlett. *Of course, as a genealogist, sometimes associations are all you have if marriage documents no longer exist.* This is especially true for the wife, as she is often left out of records. Ann Graves Warren's grandmother was Sarah Ann Davenport who married Thomas Graves Sr. b. 1691 in King and Queen, VA. Sarah Ann Davenport Graves had two brothers who married into the Terry family; Thomas and Richard Davenport. Grace and Elizabeth Terry were cousins of James Terry who married Rebecca Dudgeon. James Terry b. abt 1702 in King William, VA and Rebecca Dudgeon Terry b. abt 1705 in Donegal, Ireland, were the great grandparents of Mary Polly Terry who married Henry Mullins. James Terry's father was James Terry Sr. who died 1744 in Caroline Co., VA or Prince George, VA. He was married to Mary Dianne Royall. Cousin of James Terry was Grace Terry who m. Thomas Davenport. Grace was daughter of Thomas Terry and Sarah Ashburn.

    Henry and Mary Polly Terry Mullins lived for about 20 years in Wilkes, NC before moving to KY abt 1804. Mary Polly Terry's parents were Olive and Elizabeth Irby Terry. Olive and Elizabeth Irby Terry lived in Caswell, NC; moved there (first Orange, NC) in 1757 with James and Rebecca Dudgeon Terry. James Terry was JP of Halifax, VA in the 1750's. Before this, he lived in Goochland. Ann Graves Warren had an Uncle; Rice Graves; younger brother to her father Thomas - who married Jane Young. Rice and Jane Young Graves had two daughters who married the same man - William Abney. They were Amelia Graves who died 1810 and then Julia Graves. William and Julia Graves Abney had a son named Elijah Abney who first married Lucinda America Mullins - daughter of Gardner Mullins and Rachel L. Dennis Mullins. Gardner was the son of Henry and Mary Polly Terry Mullins. Then Elijah Abney married Emily Owens - granddaughter of Spencer and Mary King Mullins. Spencer was also a son of Henry and Mary Polly Terry Mullins.

    Ann Graves Warren also had a brother named William Graves who married Ann Pettus. I think this may be the Ann Graves mentioned with regards to her dower. I believe William and Ann Pettus Graves lived in Fayette, KY with Thomas Graves - William and Ann Graves' father. Thomas Graves b. 1721 also was in Caswell, NC for a time before moving to Fayette, KY. So there is definitely a strong Caswell, NC connection. I can see this as well with Charles Warren's brother Burris Warren who had a son named Charles W. Warren who married Mary Haggard; sister to Eleanor Haggard who m. Micajah Sutton. Both Mary and Eleanor Haggard were daughters of Rev. Henry Hazelrigg Haggard and Dorothea Randolph Haggard. It is also believed that Henry and Dorothea Randolph Haggard were in Caswell before moving to Tennessee. Dorothea Randolph's brother William Randolph fought in the same Caswell Lamb's Artillery in NC as Olive Terry; father to Mary Polly Terry (Mullins). It appears now that Dorothea Randolph's father died in Caswell, NC. Rebecca Sutton- daughter of Micajah Sutton and Eleanor Haggard Sutton married Jackson Mullins - son of Gardner Mullins who was son of Henry and Mary Polly Terry Mullins.

    Yet another Uncle to Ann Graves was John Graves b. 1714 in Spotsylvania, VA and married Lucy Adams. They had a son named John Adams Graves b. 1737 who married Frances Coleman. They moved to Boone, KY. Their son Easom Graves married Elizabeth Mourning Parrott; daughter of John Parrott and Ruth Treadwell. John Parrot was son of Nathaniel Parrott and Penelope Irby. I believe Penelope was likely now the half sister to Elizabeth Irby who married Olive Terry. Elizabeth Irby Terry was the mother of Mary Polly Terry mentioned above.

    **Also, Charles and Ann Graves Warren had a younger daughter Mary Warren who married Walker Langford; brother to Stephen Langford. As we know, Henry and Mary Polly Terry Mullins also had a younger daughter named Lois Mullins (close in age to Mary Warren), who married Stephen Langford in 1807; a few years after the Mullins' family moved to KY from Wilkes, NC. It is possible that Stephen Langford assisted the family in their travels through the Cumberland Gap. They could have stayed at Langford's Station at first. So, my guess is that Mary Polly Terry Mullins was acquainted with the Warren family through Ann Graves who married Charles Warren.
