David Terrell, l

David Terrell and his wife joined the Society of Friends, or Quakers. The first Quaker Meeting in that part of Virginia is said to have been set up in Hanover County and known as Cedar Creek. At the organization of this meeting 12 Mar 1739, David Terrell was appointed as one of the overseers and contributed to the erecting of a meeting house. Some of the children and grandchildren of David and Henry Terrell belonged to the Friends Society, but most of the grandchildren joined churches of another faith. Some were ejected from the Quaker felowship for their violation of strict Quaker rules and for marriages outside the faith. (Sources: Bell, "Our Quaker Friends." Dicken, "Terrell Genealogy," p.166)

Will of Agatha Terrell

The will of Agatha [Chiles] Terrell was probated at a court held for Caroline County 7 Dec.1766,with Pleasant Terrell as executor. Pleasant Terrell was on the same date appointed guardian of Jonathan Terrell and Christopher chose him to be his guardian,he then being old enough to make his own choice.{O.B.1765-1767.p.438]

My research shows that David Terrell was born 1695 in New Kent County Virginia, and he died 04/12/1759 in Golanville Caroline County Virginia. My source is the Mormon Church Archives.

Legacy's Pedigree Chart for Rupert L. Martin show Agatha Chiles as David Terrell Sr. wife . She was born in St. Peters Parish, New Kent, VA. on 14 Oct 1714. She died in Golansville, Caroline,VA on 14 Feb. 1805. I'm certain someone with access to Henshaw's book of Quaker meetings can find the correct information.
