The mother of Stephen Terry is Mary White, the sister of Rev. John White of Dorchester, Dorset, who formed the "Mary & John" group. Stephen Terry came on the "Mary and John" in 1630 alone, at the age of 21. He first settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where he applied for freemanship on 19 Oct 1630. About 1636 he moved to Windsor Connecticut, where he lived until about 1660, when he became one of the first settlers of Hadley, Massachusetts. He was the first Constable of Hadley. There he received 9 acres of land and was taxed on the basis of 200 pounds. He's related, somehow, to Nathaniel Cooke of Windsor, who was named in the will of Stephen's mother, Mary (White) Terry, in England, who called him nephew. Nathaniel is sometimes mistakenly called the son of Aaron Cook, of the "Mary & John". (from WikiTree entry)
