Joseph Terry

Joseph Terry was an early settler of the Rock Island community on the Caney Fork in what is now Warren County. In 1806, when the state legislature created White County, Terry's house was designated as the temporary courthouse until a permanent county seat could be established. A log jail was also constructed nearby. By 1807, however, Warren County had been carved out of the southern portions of White County, taking the latter's courthouse with it.Seals, Monroe.
