Parshall Terry Marker

Note: Parshall Terry's marker was installed by Daryl and family in the summer of 2006. His marker was one of other new markers being installed by the SAR for Revolutionary soldiers in Wayne County cemeteries.

The Terry stones are in an older section of the cemetery and aren't listed on the county historian's office list of burials, posted on our site. I mentioned this to Daryl and he advises that "A lot of people from this cemetery are not on the list from the old section." If you think that a relative is in this cemetery and they aren't on the list, you should go there yourself and walk through the older areas of the cemetery to look for them.
