Ref.: Virginia Lee Hutcheson Davis, TIDEWATER VIRGINIA FAMILIES, 1989,
p. 234-7, p. 267-74. This is very well documented recent research with
discussions of problem areas. For several points, she refers to the
work of Emma Dicken for more documentation and study.
Ref: Emma Dicken, TERRELL GENEALOGY, 1952. Well documented.
Ref.: O. F. Brown, THE TYRELLS OF ENGLAND, 1982, Published by
Phillimore & Co., LTD, Shopwyke Hall, Chichester, Sussex. This is the
best documented book on the early Tyrell family that I have found.
Mr. Brown says that there are gaps in the lines claimed by so many for
which no documentation to prove them is known to exist. In 1966, he
agreed to take on the job of finishing and publishing the Tyrell
family research of the late Rev. William Tirrell.
Mr. Brown said that this line is circumstantial and though possible,
he emphasizes that he connot prove it. The claimed line from George
Tyrell of Thornton to Robert Tyrrell of Reading is not proven. George
had a son named William for whom no further documentation has been
found. Many claim that this William was the father of Robert of
Reading. Possibly he was.
Most of the following lines are provided as furnishing clues for
further research. I have abstracted most of the data on William who
m. Susan Waters from the above sources. That on Timothy is from others
which I have not verified. Even undocumented information can provide
clues for research. Much research is still required.

14 children named in his will but nothing further is known about
them. In order thay are:
Jeremiah, Ruth, Millie, Solomon, Micajah, James, Simon, Moses,
Mary, Elizabeth, Keziah, Daniel, Richard and Aaron.
38 James TERRELL d. bef 1768 Caroline Co., VA, m. Margaret, maybe a
dau. of John WATKINS as they were awarded a portion of his
estate. She d. bef May 1772 when an administrator was appointed
for her estate. No will has survived for them but they are
thought to have had these sons: William, Dudley and James.
39 John TERRELL b. possibly in Hanover Co. and moved to Caroline
Co., d. 1780-89 Franklin Co., NC, m. Sarah _____ . No children
are known for them.
39 John TERRELL had three children by Elizabeth HARRISON to whom he
was not married. He had to post bastardy bonds for their
children guarenteeing they would not become public wards.
Tiring of this, they fled to NC in 1738. There is no info as to
whether any of the children listed below were b. in Caroline Co.
The three children that were born in Caroline were bound out to
other families for support. Their names are not known because of
the loss of Caroline records. I have no knowledge of what
surnames these children used.
