                   IMMIGRATION:
    Came to America on the "James" in 1635 with brother Richard to Southampton, then moved to Southold abt 1655.

RESEARCH NOTES:
    Additional research and historical information included in NOTES.  While many theories and supposed proofs abound for the origin of the three brothers Terry who came on the James, the following has been documented bt a Stephen Bogner on GenForum (complete transcript in notes): 
    1) Thomas, Robert, and Richard are NOT first cousins of Stephen Terry of Hadley, MA
    2) These brothers are not closely related to the Terry families of Hampshire, and in particular Long Sutton
    3) The next most likely assumption is that they are the sons of Thomas Terry and Joan Bing of Throwley, Kent, England

Research of Stephen Bogner
I have also been researching this line of Terry, whlle tracing the paternal line of my maternal grandfather. I am a 12-generation decendent of Richard Terry (b. 17 August 1618 at Long Sutton, Hampshire, England; d. 06 July 1675 Southold, Suffolk Co., Long Island, New York; {Thomas, Stephen, Richard, Robert}), as well as a 12-generation decendent of his brother Thomas Terry (b. 1607 Long Sutton, Hampshire, England; d. 05 June 1672 Southold, Suffolk Co., Long Island, New York) through the marriage of Parshall Adam Terry (1734-1811; {Jonathan, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Richard})and Deborah Clark (1736-1778); {Mary Reeve; James Reeve; Mary Terry; Thomas Terry})I have been able to collect an abundance of information about the Terry family in Manor of Crondal, Hampshire, England, and have been able to document the generation of Stephen Terry (1529-1607) - grandfather of Thomas and Richard of Southold, New York, their brother Robert of Flushing New York, and their first cousin Stephen of Hadley, Massachusetts - together with his children and grandchildren in enough detail to confirm that1. Thomas, Robert, and Richard were brothers;2. Thomas, Robert, and Richard were sons of Thomas Terry (b. 1571 Long Sutton, Hampshire, England; m. Johan Waterfield at All Saints Church, Long Sutton 20 July 1596; owner of Hydegate, Long Sutton; d. 1655 Long Sutton) and were not, as many internet geneologies assert, sons of their uncle James Terry (b. 1657 Long Sutton, Hampshire, England; m. Anne Peacocke; children James, Elizabeth, Susan; pewterer at Long Sutton and probably London; d. 1622).However, as I have been working my way forward I have encountered several interesting mysteries about this family that I would like to resolve:1. Regarding Marie Bigge, wife of Thomas Terry - although parish records from Benenden, Tunbridge Wells, Kent England support the baptism of Marie d. of Henrye Bigge 12 December 1612, making her just the right age to marry Thomas in 1639 in Essex Co., Massachusetts,and have their oldest child Thomas in 1640 - and I have not been able to find references to any alternate marriage for a Marie Bigge - I have not been able to establish a link between the family of Henrye Bigge and John Bigge (1602-1642) of nearby Cranbrook and Maidstone, Tunbridge Welles, Kent who mentions "Marie Terrie in New England" prominently in his will while omitting many close relatives. The family of John's only brother Smallhope Bigge is well documented, and does not include a daughter Marie, so it seems that he is not considering a niece. John does have a sister Mary; however she apparently dies in 1610. I tested the idea that Marie might be a daughter of John by his first wife Mary Maplesden; however they were married 12 May 1626 in Linton, Kent, and this would have made Marie Bigge younger than 13 at her marriage and 14 at the birth of a son Thomas - which in the circumstances seems unlikely, although it is admittedly not impossible. Unfortunately, I have been able to find no evidence that John and Mary Bigge had a daughter Marie. Can anyone resolve this mystery, or point me at an alternate scenario?2. Regarding Abigail Lines (1629-1686), wife of Richard Terry (1618-1675)of Southold - She is often recorded as the daughter of Ralph Lines, due to a note from an early researcher who stated that "she was probably the daughter of Ralph Lines who died in New Haven in 1640", this information being propogated through the years. This belief is certainly incorrect. In fact, Ralph Lines of New Haven lived until 07 September 1689, and his children with Alice Budd are known (Samuel, Ralph, John, Joseph,Benjamin, Hannah). My research indicates that Abigail Lines was the daughter of John Lynes (b.1587 Badby, Northampton, England; m. Ann Russell c. 1620; surviving chidren Henry b. 1622, Ralph b.1623,Joan b.1628, Abigail b.1629) It seems that both of her parents having died, Abigail resided with her brother Ralph in New Haven until her marriage at age 20 to Richard Terry on 22 May 1649. Perhaps since it was known at the time that she came from the household of Ral
ph Lines, and that her father was dead (dying perhaps about 1640), it was wrongly rumored that Ralph Lines was both her father and dead. Any evidence to either confirm or refute would be welcome.Steve.

Wow. Am I embarassed...Today I received a copy of "Hydegate & Its People - Four Hundred Years of a Tudor Farmhouse", by Diana K. Coldicott, self-published at Long Sutton, Hampshire in 1970. I have no idea how many copies were made, but the copy I have is used, looks to be a discard from the Long Sutton Library, and it appears to be extremely rare, as no other copies seem to be available for purchase anywhere.This publication, which was compiled by woman whose family purchased Hydegate in 1966, is based upon apparently definative local research that mirrors and confirms much of what I have estabished by my own research, and includes a discussion of the Thomas Terry and Johan Waterfield family that seems to effectively demolish any chance that Thomas,Robert, and Richard of N.E. decend from that family. This means that several of the things that I have asserted with considerable certainty in my previous post now seem to be conclusively disproven instead1. Thomas, Robert, and Richard Terry were definately NOT first cousins of Stephen Terry of Hadley, Massachusettes. All of the Terry cousins of Stephen Terry seem to be accounted for, and Thomas, Robert, and Richard are not among them.2. There does NOT appear to be any linkage between Thomas, Robert, and Richard Terry who sailed on the James in 1635 and the Terry families of Hampshire. This is an important conclusion because there are very many internet geneologies that assert the relationship between these Terry brothers and the Stephen Terry and Alice Cannar family of Long Sutton, Hampshire, England, either through Thomas or through James. These geneologies appear to be entirely MISTAKEN The sooner they stop reproducing the better.I spent about four months documenting the Terry Family of Manor of Crondal, Hampshire, England having been pointed to them by the many internet geneologies that claimed that Thomas, Robert and Richard of the James in 1635 descended from them. It now appears that this family - interesting as they are in their own right - are not the relatives I was seeking. However, If you are a descendent of Stephen Terry of Hadley, MA then I have some great documentation for youAccording to the evidence in "Hydegate & Its People" the family of Thomas Terry (b. 1571; d.1655) and Joan Wotersfield (d. 1659) incuded:1. Stephen (b. and d. 1597)2. Agnes (b. 1598)3. Stephen (b. 1600; m. Kathren; d. 1689)4. Giles (b. 1602)5. Thomas (b. 1603)6. John (b. 1605)7. Mary (b. and d. 1607)8. Michael(b. 1608; m. Joan Millingate (b. 1609; d.1682); inherited Hydegate; wife inherited Millingate fortune; d. while a Lieutenant fighting for the Parliamentarians, of wounds received defending Alton against an advance of Prince Rupert's Royalists Forces; buried in the churchyard at Long Sutton 25 February 1643; estate was valued at 1,234.10.2 pounds)9. James (b. 1611; d. 1681)I hope this confession/information is useful to someone, and perhaps it can prevent a further spread of missinformation about this family.I will now be moving on to try to determine the truth in the claim that Thomas, Robert, and Richard Terry were the sons of Thomas Terry and Joan/Jone/Johan Bing/Binge/Bynge of Throwley, Kent, England....Steve.
