36O. FORD-TERRELL--Ih have re- gently seen two clippings under the above caption, one of them signed Historian" ane the other signed TT. A. H. and both contain errors of more or less import ance Major Joel Crawford and pr. Wil- liam Terrell were members of the 1bth and 18th Congresses, serving together from 1877 to 1s2l. and they married sisters. daughters of Capt, William Rhodes, of North Carolina, and they were devoted personal and political friends from early manhood to the Isath of pr. Terrell on July 4th, 1885. Thus far ''T. A. H." Is altogether right, but Dr. Terrell was not the uncle of the present Governor of Geor- gia. the relationship being much more distant. As 1 figure 1t, the father of Governor J. M. Terrell was second cousin to pr. Terrell.
 pr. Terrell had two daughters, one of whom died unmarried, and the other, Lucy, married Edgar G, Dawson. and yet lives Cor recently did), at No. 70 West Madison Street, Baltimore. Major Craw- ford had children as follows: 1, Rhodes, who died while a schoolboy; 2, COrinne AIthea, who married Dr. J. H. Verdier, and one of their sons was named Ter rell: 8. Anderson Floyd, (my father), who married Elizabeth Aiken; {, Sarah Lou ISa, WnO uldETlcu, III ot n. AAs SAhoNaet p"N second W. A. Maxwell. and had daugh- ter named Willie Terrell; 5. Charles Peter, who married Martha Williamson. and had A son named Charles Terrell; 6, Marga- ret Della, who married James T. Flew ellen; I, Joel Terrell, who died. unmar- ried, in hospital at Richmond from wounds received at the Wilderness bat ties, and 8, William. who died in infancy. It Is evident that ''T, A. H." believes as once believed, that the Terrell so often found in the names of Crawfords was to be accounted for by the devoted l friendship between Major Joel Crawford and pr, William Terrell, which began about the year 1915. and so it can be in the cases of the children above named, but let us go a httle further back. Wtl- Ham and Delilah (Martin) Crawford, had 'son born October 9th 1s1S, whom they named "Joel Terrell' William being a third or fourth cousin of Major Joel Crawford, living far distant from him. and the ties between the Major and the Doctor not yet being formed. and perhaps the two being not yet acquainted. Major Hardy and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Crawford had a son born September s, ISIS, whom they named William Terrell" and Joel Terrell and Sarah (Watson) Crawford had a son born May 2S. lS4e. whom they named Martin Terrell" and there are many others. which seems to indicate that there was a connection between the Ter rells and some branch of the Crawford family that neither TT. A. H." nor the writer has yet located. My records of the Crawford and allied families goes back 26O years, to the landing of John Crawford and his son David at James, town in I6I3. and they are believed to be almost complete. but they do not show any inter-marriage between the two fam ihes, and yet I cannot account for the numerous and widely separated Terrell Crawfords'' upon any hypothesis other than that there has, at some time, been such a marriage. hope that those hav- ing knowledge of the matter will come into print and solve the mystery, and will be very glad to hear from and swap" data with any one feeling. an in- terest in the matter.
