Richmond Terrell

Richmond Terrell Male

Born: 1620
Died: 1680    

Comments: Settled in Blisland Parish, New Kent Co., VA in 1656 (Hanover
County was created from New Kent Co.,) Reference "Terrell
Genealogy" by Emma Dicken, pub. by the Naylor Company, San
Antonio, TX page 112, Land Patent Book at Richmond shows that on
November 28, 1656, Richmond Terrell was granted 640 acres of
land for the transportation of 13 persons, among them was his
brother, Robert. Richmond is again listed among persons
transported by Charles Edmonds from England to Virginia in 1638,
so for business reasons must have made a return trip. It appears
that some persons who desired land grants were allowed to
advance money for the passage of new settlers, and were issued
certificates which were assignable, which gave them immediate
possession of the land, but were not given a permanent deed
until the passengers had actually arrived and their names
listed. This was evidently the case in the second grant to
Richmond Terrell, probably his brother. according to Dicken,
there is a strong possibility that Richmond may have had a
fourth son, Robert, who on April 20, 1682, was granted 170 acres
of land in New Kent Co., At that time, Robert, brother of
Richmond, was not alive. Nineteen years later there is another
grant to a Robert Terrill in Middlesex Co., VA. This Robert
married Mary and baptized a son, Robert on May 13, 1707 in
Middlesex County, VA.
