Biography

William Terrell was born about 1660 in Virginia.
He probably married Susannah Waters.
They made their home in New Kent (Hanover) County, Virginia on Polecat Creek. Polecat Creek is currently in Caroline County, Virginia.
Susannah and William's children may have included:
- William Terrell, Jr. (1685, married Elizabeth Lewis),
- Joel Terrell (1792)
- Anne Terrell (1695, married David Lewis),
- David Terrell (1697, married Sarah Allen),
- Henry Terrell (1702, married Sarah Woodson and Anne Chiles),
- Timothy Terrell (1705, married Mary Martin),

William died before April 3, 1744 when the Henrico Monthly Meeting's minutes identified Henry Terrell as the son of William Terrell, deceased.

Common errors
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Waters-218
There is no such person as "Martha Susanna Waters" in any record in colonial Virginia. (Repetition of the error on Ancestry doesn't make it true!)
Middle names were extremely rare until much later.
This apparently comes from combining two people.
Martha was the first wife of William Terrell (born 22 Jun 1629).
They married at St. Mary's, Reading, Berks., England.
No record of children or where they lived - or when Martha died. .

There also is no contemporary document found that places John Waters of St. Katherine's London and wife Ann Lloyd in Virginia. They do not appear in any record other than pedigrees that cite only secondary sources.
Land Deed to Son David
1725 March 16 , St. Margaret's Parish, King William County
Family tradition has always passed down the information that William married Susannah Waters. The wife of William was named Susannah, as she was identified in a document granting her power of attorney to her son, Henry, to relinquish her dower, when she and William deeded land on Polecat Swamp, in March 1725, to their son David.
David Terrell was the son of William and Susannah Terrell. He probably grew up in the forks of the Pamunkey River. His father and mother deeded 400 acres of land in St. Margaret's Parish, King William County, to him on March 16, 1725.
David settled on that land in the Polecat Creek area, near what was to become Caroline County and Golansville. It was the same area in which a large group of Quakers settled, and David embraced the faith. He married Agatha Chiles, the daughter of Henry Chiles of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County.

Earlier generations must as usual be taken with large helpings of salt (everyone wants noble or royal ancestors), but the immigrant and subsequent generations are substantiated about as well as one might expect from an area that has had its records periodically destroyed.
