Feb. 2, 1890
Purdy,
Barry Co., MO
SSW: Mary Ann Reed - Research Note: Row 8 - South Side - Son of William Terry and Barbara Ennis. - Francis Martin Terry came to Barry Co., ca 1860 and lived there until his death in 1890. Martin, as he was known, founded a large Terry family spread throughout Barry Co. This Terry line has been traced back to the mid 1700's in Botetourt Co., VA and to County Westmeath, IRE. - Bio by Marilyn Hudson: Martin Terry (William, John, William) was born the same year that Francis Scott Key's Star Spangled Banner was composed. He was born on Tuesday, 25 October 1814, in Gibson County, Indiana as the third child of William and Barbara (Ennis) Terry. As just a young man of eighteen, he moved with his family in the spring of 1832 to southwest Arkansas. There, Martin met Mary Ann Reed and they were married on 9 April 1835 in Illinois Township, Washington Co., Arkansas. In 1839, his brother John married Mary Ann Reed's sister, Lucinda King Reed. There is a Martin Terry on the Benton Co., Arkansas tax list of 1835-1837 and on Washington Co., in 1838. The wives were the daughters of Joseph and Mary "Polly" (King) Reed and had both come from Kentucky into northwest Arkansas, according to John Terry's family bible. Martin and Mary Ann Terry lived in a time of rapid technological changes. During the time they resided in Madison Co., Arkansas, the new steam locomotive was appearing and on the nearby river ways, according to a family letter of the time, steamboats traveled the rivers bringing supplies and people. Later in life, Martin would hear of the telephone with two of his sons bringing the first lines into Barry Co, Missouri. Despite all the progressive moves of technology and science, Martin and Mary Ann saw many seams of the American national fabric unraveling. Conflicts over the question of slavery were driving the country (especially after the 1836 'Gag Resolutions') and caused the split in the Methodist Episcopal Church. The split was simply a portent of forces festering throughout the country and rapidly increasing tensions erupted in April 1861 as the Civil War began. Martin had wanted to move to Texas in the 1850's but the economy in Arkansas prevented it. His disappointment at the setbacks haunts several of the letters from the time. Northwest Arkansas suffered repeated depressions in the wake of the Great Depression of the 1830's. Many left Arkansas to try their luck in Oregon or California, especially once tales of gold came back. After the death of Joseph Reed, Martin's father-in-law, in 1855, the desire to go to Texas was even stronger and he began to make those plans. However, further setbacks arose and they moved instead north into southern Missouri. - Another Photo Marilyn's Notes
