"Family tradition has always passed down the information that William [Terrell] married Susannah Waters. The wife of William was named Susannah, as she was identified in a document granting her power of attorney to her son, Henry, to relinquish her dower, when she and William deeded land on Polecat Swamp, in March 1725, to their son, David. No conclusive information as to her maiden name has been found in the available records."[emphasis added]
