"Joel was the father of Harry, [2] also called Henry Terrell. With whom he [3] inter-married, I have no recollection, unless it was Elizabeth Axford, after whom I think my sister Elizabeth was named. He had sons William, Richmond, Harry and Peter. His daughters known to me were Molly Richardson (Mrs. Willis), Mary, who died young, and Mrs. Edward Garland. ... William was a man of middle stature, of plain common education and sense, industrious, careful, economical, in his dress remarkably plain, a big mouth and horrible nose. By all I think he was ranked among the best of men in any country. His wife, a Wingfield, was pretty, strong, black, but among the most amicable of her sex. They had no daughters; the sons were Quaker Tom, Joel, Peter, William, David and Richmond. [4] Joel and William died early in life."
