"Elizabeth Gooch (c1735 - c1793-9)"

"Little is know of Elizabeth herself, but she is identified as the daughter of John Gooch in his 1793 Granville County will as the wife of James Terry, also of Granville County, NC. It is through the records left behind by James Terry that we can construct an idea of Elizabeth's life. There was a great deal of intermarriage between the Terry and Gooch families, which may indicate common ancestors in Virginia. James Terry is referred to in the Caroline County, Virginia Order Book in 1776 in a bond to his father-in-law John Gooch, however, in 1760 James' first deed in Granville county identifies his previous place of residence as Hanover County, Virginia [ref: Granville DB, ]. James Terry died in 1799 in Granville County, NC and left a will. Elizabeth is not named in the will and it is assumed she died sometime between 1793 when her name appears in a deed and the writing of Terry's will in 1797 [ref: WB 4, proved Feb Court 1799]. " William Terry (married in SC to Sarah Minter, 1st cousin) Stephen Terry (mb 1785; Granville to Elizabeth Barnett) James Terry (mb 1780; Granville to Sarah Thorpe) John Terry (married Anna Mariah Minter, 1st cousin) Sarah Terry (married; Granville to Obediah Clement) Mary Terry (m1st John Minter, 1st cousin) (m2nd Mr. Strom) Elizabeth "Betsy" Terry (married 1778 to Nathan Child)
