      I just returned from MO where I finally visited the TERRY cemetery I sent you info on. Quite an experience! About 3/4 mile hike through pastures, under a barbed wire fence into the woods arond the old cemetery. It had all grown up again since all their work clearing several years back. We encountered poison ivy and a well used wolf den. Also a tree had fallen across a section of nice new fence flattening it. Dad was discouraged. I had also met a distant cousin who had a large pack of old Terry/Shoemaker letters. She had an 1847 letter to my ggg grandfather James Sparkfarley Terry. James' sister had died and the sister's husband Robert S. Coleman had written to tell James. There was a packet of love letters between Peter Garland Terry and Lydia Shoemaker in 1855. Peter was a son of the above James. There were also notes for an obit -- pencil on tablet paper, placing the above James in Smith co TN., 1825. So finally, a new Terry lead for me! I hope to go to St. Paul and check the TN census tomorrow. For now. Genevieve Bess Mitchell, 203 Inca Lane, New Brighton, MN 55112
