Ok here is another poss. connection to think about that you can add to you paper file. My Kibble/Keeble's brother Robert Henry Terry is the exec. to Peter Proby's estate (James M. Proby is his brother and brother in law to my Kibble. James names the 3 brothers as his "brothers" in his will proven 1867 Bedford Co. TN) . Peter Proby is m. to Ann Sarah Bomar dau. of Bibby Bomar and they married in Halifax Co. VA.. Her cousin Rev. William Johnson Bomar son of Spencer Bomar ( brother to Bibby Bomar) m.Elizabeth"Bettie" Terry dau. of David Terry b. 1765 Jamestown, VA d. 1840 Smith Co. TN & Miss Reed. Bettie's sister Jane m. William MOORE and moved to Texas about 1851.

These families are being connected by marriage, Bomar to Proby, Proby to Terry and Bomar to Terry and along comes a m. to a Moore. And then there is John Terry b. 1774 NC m. to Sarah Moore. Am I crazy or is this another "poss." connection between my Terry and John/Sarah?

Has anyone ever come up with a father for David? Is was not uncommon for cousins in one family grouping to marry cousins connected to another. Fuelfor thought.
I have looked at all the issues you have posted. I am so thankful that you posted them. I have heard the 7 brothers story before from the cousins to my Julia Terry. Maybe in another 25 years someone just might come up with an answer.

P.S.
Thank you for putting" The Terry Family Historian " online. The Michigan State library does not carry a lot of books on the TN area so I only get to do research once a year when I go to TN to visit family.
