Unmarked grave.
Daughter of Nancy Gibson and John Terry, who lived circa 1792-1854. July was the first wife of Champ Gibson Terry. They married about 1844 and were first cousins.
July Terry, age 22, is listed on the 1850 US Federal Census Mortality Schedule as dying of "cold of three days duration" in Fair Bronna in the Black Jack District of Richmond County in December 1849. She left behind three young children: Addison, age 3, Annie Jane 2, and John Eli, an infant born in the same month.
In the September 1850 census, Champ is found living with his brother Addison next door to their father Eli Terry's household. Champ's son, 4-year old Addison, was living in Eli's home. Nine month old John Terry was living in a Bryant/Lovin household. The census indicates the child was blind. (Eli Terry had a close relationship with the Bryant and Lovin families.) Daughter Annie Jane has not been found in the 1850 census.
The 1852 Last Will and Testament of July's father, John Terry, provided for the children. It "orders and requests" Thomas Gibson to be guardian of his late daughter July Ann Terry's three children.
The children's father, Champ Gibson Terry, had remarried in 1851. Possibly Thomas Gibson is the Thomas Gibson who was the father of Elizabeth Ann Gibson, Champ's second wife. The will was signed July 17, 1852, and probated in January 1854.
In 1860, son Addison is found living in his father and stepmother's household. Annie Jane and John Eli have not been located in records after the 1852-1854 will of their maternal grandfather, John Terry.
Addison married Rachel Covington on December 26, 1869. They are found living in his father's household in 1870 but Addison was widowed by 1880. He relocated to Mississippi before 1900.
