9. Speculation: This may be the same Joseph Terry that married Pamelia Burch,

Joseph Terry, age 20/30, appears with female, age 20/30, in the 1840 Census
of Henry Co, VA just two listings from Bazel Burch, age 60/70. Joseph Terry,
age 34, appears in the 1850 Census of Tazewell Co, VA (see Ref 1 above) with
wife Parmelia, age 36. There are also two young women, Eliza A. Terry, age
18, and Betsy Terry, age 15, in the 1850 Census. Believe these are either
sisters or sisters-in-law, not children, of Joseph and Pamelia's. Joseph's
age is consistant with the 1840 Census range. Also Ref 6 above indicates he
was widowed when he married Mary Fletcher.

age 34, appears in the 1850 Census of Tazewell Co, VA (see Ref 1 above) with
wife Parmelia, age 36. There are also two young women, Eliza A. Terry, age
18, and Betsy Terry, age 15, in the 1850 Census. Believe these are either
