Land Deed to Son David

1725 March 16 , St. Margaret's Parish, King William County

Family tradition has always passed down the information that William married Susannah Waters. The wife of William was named Susannah, as she was identified in a document granting her power of attorney to her son, Henry, to relinquish her dower, when she and William deeded land on Polecat Swamp, in March 1725, to their son David.

David Terrell was the son of William and Susannah Terrell. He probably grew up in the forks of the Pamunkey River. His father and mother deeded 400 acres of land in St. Margaret's Parish, King William County, to him on March 16, 1725.

David settled on that land in the Polecat Creek area, near what was to become Caroline County and Golansville. It was the same area in which a large group of Quakers settled, and David embraced the faith. He married Agatha Chiles, the daughter of Henry Chiles of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County.
