"He possessed a very handsome estate and left perhaps one-half to his wife and two younger children, Henry and Patsy." [8]

8. This Patsy received the six negroes mentioned in Harry Terrell's Last Will, yet being too young to administer such property, she and her inheritance were both placed under the guardianship of her older brother, John D. Terrell, Sr., the author of these Memoirs. Whether or not Patsy retained title to these six negroes cannot be determined.
