About Deborah Terry

"William Wells of Southold and his Descendants", 1878, by Charles Wells Hayes, lists on 7 children of William Wells on page 33, and perhaps an eighth child, named Anne, wife of John Goldsmith. None of the eight are named Deborah.

So her father as listed may be incorrect.

  • The three lots of William Wells were divided after his death, in 1671, among his four married daughters. Gershom Terry and his wife obtained the first lot to the west, John Goldsmith and Anna Wells, his wife, the middle lot. The eastern lot, the extra wide one, was divided into two half-lots, of which John Tuthill, Jr., and Mehetable Wells, his wife, received the western and Jonathan Horton and Bethiah Wells, his wife, the eastern. These half-lots were two miles long, about twenty- five rods wide at the road and narrower at the Sound.
