Well, the presence of a two year old Racheal J. Terrell in the 1860 household of James and
Malinda Fletcher in Halbert Twp indicates a Fletcher-Terrell connection that should be
pursued. I think it's just that Henry W. Terrell was never identified as or called
William Terrell and that it is Henry rather than William (Wilburn) who appears on the same
page of the census as does James Fletcher. I suspect, and would like to either confirm
or disprove that Henry W. Terrell was the younger brother of the John Terrell who married
Mary Hord/Hoard 11 Dec 1834 (Mary Hord/Hoard is a GGG Aunt of mine).
I was aware of Rachel Johnson as Henry's wife because her sister, Lovaner Lurana
married (2) John Gerking, Jr., my GGG Grandfather, on 12 Sep 1855. Thus she came up in my
research of the Hord, Blair, Gerking and Terrell families in Martin and Lawrence
Counties.
