On this day 204 years ago………

 

David Covey Terrill’s birthday is 8 June 1808. David is the son of Josiah and Chloe Covey Terrill . He came into  this world in Cambridge Twp., Lamoille, Vermont. His grandfather Josiah may have been with the Green Mountain Boy’s, and we believe that he was at Yorktown with the Continental Army where he lost his life.

We find David next in Pine Grove, Warren Co., Pennsylvania in 1840 he didn’t live there long as we find him marrying Susan Foreman on 10 November 1845 in Crawford Co. Pennsylvania. Susan is the daughter of John and Susanna Camp Foreman of Hayfield, Crawford Co. Pennsylvania.

David was a teacher in a one room school house in Hicknell, Crawford Co., Pennsylvania. In the 1850 Pennslyvania Federal Census we find David and Susan in Conneaut, Erie, Pennsylvania, United States.

In 1860 we again find David and Susan in Crawford Co. PA but now he is in Spring Twp.  found with he and his wife Susan are their children ,Henry Terrill 10, Clarissa Terrill 8, John Terrill 3, Adelbert Terrill 1 and, his father Josiah Terrill 88. In 1870 we again find him in Spring Twp. with Susan and their children, Clarissa Terrill 18, John Terrill 13 ,Adelbert Terrill 10, David S Terrill 7, James Terrill 1 and, his sister Martha Terrill 76.

The occupation in the census is given as farmer.

The last census that we find David in is the 1880, he is there with his wife Susan and their sons, Adelbert S. Terrill 20, David S. Terrill 17. He is now living in Sheffield, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. David will pass away before the 1890 census. At the age of  80 he died in Sheffield, Ashtabula Co., Ohio on 13 December 1888.

David and Susan are my second great grandparents.

Wordless Wednesday (Not So)

Leave a comment

I have had the pleasure and joy to bring some old negatives back to life.
They were photos of my Great Grandparents and their children and grandchildren at that time. I came across a picture that through me for a loop. A picture of Great Uncle Norman wow! He looks like Dad or rather Dad looks a lot like him. I always thought that Dad took after the McCartney family, but I am now seeing that he resembles the Ogilvie/Kaye side of the family more.  Posted below are a photo of both men. What do you think? Does Dad look like Uncle Norm?

Lacking Locks for Love

Leave a comment

 

 It once again is breast cancer awareness month. Which tends to remind me of a trip I took with my daughter and her friend to our local Fantastic Sams  so that we could donate our hair to Locks of Love.  These young women went far beyond what I did (call me chicken) I did donate a considerable amount of hair, which was waist long, shortened to my shoulders. I just couldn’t bring myself to do the extra 10 inches or so.

There is a subject that  I would like to clarify. I have heard many people say that they no longer give to Locks of Love, because they charge the children for the hair pieces. That in part is true, but the original hair piece can run from $3,000 to $5,000 dollars depending on the need.  Locks of Love give according to need.

Locks of Love Mission Statement

Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.

If you have the hair to donate and then I urge you to do so. I would suggest you look into Locks of Love or other ways of donating your hair.  There are a few others that I found with a quick search of the web:

Wigs for Kids
Angel Hair for Kids-Canadian based

Happy Hunting!
Have a clipping good time!
