George Walter Terry

Doing a search for George Walter Terry lead me to a family tree on Ancestry.com. Unfortunately it was locked. I needed membership to view the information. Fortunately they offer a 14 day free trial. So I signed up. This may be the George Walter Terry in my family tree who is the son of Duncan and Wysetta. The owner of the family tree has made the connection. I'm not 100% certain. Here's the information:

George Walter Terry

Oct 14 1845 - Born in Georgia - fathers birthplace listed as North Carolina in all Arkansas census records*
Feb 26 1857 - Married Mary S. Andrews**
Nov 25th 1925 - Death in Oklona, AR

* In the 1860 census, the birthplace of our George Walter Terry's father, Duncan, is listed as South Carolina.
** I don't believe this date is correct as it would have him married at age 12 to his wife, who would have been 2 years old at the time. In addition he is listed with his family on the 1860 census. The information is not sourced.
