Aaron and Moses, born 11 January 1790 in Pendleton District, South Carolina, were the sons of Aaron Terrell, a patriot who fought in the Revolutionary War beside his brother Moses. These names perhaps reflect those of brothers Aaron and Moses of old, whose story is told in the Book of Exodus in the Bible.
The will of Aaron Terrell père, written in Pendleton District in 1814, mentions his wife Hannah, his sons Aron, Moses, William Steele and Joseph, his daughters Elizabeth Naylor, Sally Mayo and Nancy Davis, and his granddaughter Polly Davis.
Pendleton District was a judicial district in South Carolina from 7 March 1789 until 20 December 1826 when the lower part of Pendleton District became Anderson, the upper Pickens. Aaron Terrell's will (Pickens District SC, 1860) mentions the 'tract of land whereon I now reside and known as my homeplace . . . commencing at the mouth of Sugar Creek on Tugalo River.'
The 1850 census has Aron (60, farmer) as a head of household living with his wife Clara (58), Hepse (24), Lidia (22), Elvira (17) and Amanda (15). The 1860 census (PO Bachelors Retreat) has Aaron and Clara continuing in Pickens District with Heps and Amanda.
The will of Aaron Terrell fils, written 27 June 1860 in Pickens District, mentions his wife Clara and daughters Nancy, Sabry, Elizabeth, Hannah, Susan, Sarah, Hepsey and Amanda. Lidia (born about 1828) and Elvira (born about 1832), daughters inferred by the 1850 census, appear to have predeceased Aaron.
Aaron and Clara's daughters Sarah and Hepsie were both married to John S Dickson. Sarah died in 1862 and John and Hepsie were married by the time of the 1870 census. Sarah's stone identifies her as the daughter of Aaron and Claressy Terrel. Sabra married Baptist minister Drury Knox. Nancy, my direct ancestor, married Peter Looney Barton and the couple eventually moved to Texas.
Clara, widowed, was living alone in Oconee County (PO Walhalla) at the time of the 1870 census. Oconee County, founded in 1868 and taken from part of Pickens District, was named after the historic Cherokee town Oconee (ᎤᏊᏄ), which developed along the Tugaloo River.
Due to the construction of the Hartwell Dam, Terrell Cemetery was in 1961 moved to the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Oconee County. Aaron's plot number is 054.
