Robert Terrill, Sr

DAR A 113618, Furbished beef for the Army. Harvey Wayne Powers - www.merrymount.net/harvey_powers/rterrell/rterrell.htm suggests that the instant Robert is correctly the son of Timothy, but incorrectly, that is the grandson of Richmond Terrill. The instant Robert eventually settled in Orange County, Virginia where he was a large landowner and slaveholder.

Robert Terrill's lease from Spotswood executors (150 acres) was directly on the north bank of the Rapidan River in Culpeper County (at the time in Orange County) and, as near as can be estimated just north of what is currently Clark Mountain. Ref: Orange County Index of Deeds; Bk. 6, p. 101 - 105, (a lease on 27 August 1741 grantor - Alexander Spottswood, Executors, et. al.), Orange County Historical Society, Orange, Virginia. It is believed that the lands the Robert took up were originally part of the Alexander Spottswood patent of 28 May 1713 that include a total of 4,020 acres (Ref: Forgotton Companions, Paula S. Felder, p. 10-11; p. 11 references the relationship between John Baylor and Alexander Spotswood). John Baylor was one of numerous small land owners in the area of Orange and Spotsylvania Counties. He is know to have held more than one 1000 acres patent. (Ref: Forgotton Companions,Paula S. Felder, p. 226) Robert Terrill's plantation, formerly part of John Baylor's patent was located just north of present day Route 20and west of the present site of the city of Orange, Virginia. It is believed that John Baylor was from Caroline Co., Virginia. (Ref: Fielding Lewis and the Washington Family, Paula S. Felder, p. 182). Robert is also believed to have owned property mentioned in his will alongPamunkey Creek southeast of the location of the town of Orange, Virginia. Robert's home is believed to have been south of the forks of thePamunkey River.

Robert is referenced in the DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition, Part III, 1990, p. 2905; for Patriotic Service during the RevolutionaryWar.

Robert's will dated 13 Februray 1786 and was probated 23 March 1786 in St. Thomas Parish of Orange Co., Virginia. The Inventory and Apprasial was received 28 April 1786 and the Reciept was on 28 April 1789, also both in Orange Co., Virginia.
