(McDaniel) Terry. Bennett W. was born in Botetourt County, Va., in 1802; 
he was of Scotch descent, and when but a lad of some fifteen or sixteen 
years, came with his parents to Barren County, Ky. After attaining his 
majority he bought wild land in the northern part of the county, and 
subsequently improved a farm, upon which he resided until his death, 
November 16, 1854.  He and wife were life-long and devoted church 
members; first of the Baptist and afterward of the Christian Church.  
His father, Stephen Terry, was one of seven brothers who eimigrated from 
Scotland to the colony of Virginia. Stephen's wife was a native of the 
"Old Dominion" and a cousin of Jefferson Davis, president of the 
Southern Confederacy. Mrs. Ruth Terry was born in Barren County, Ky., in 
1805, and died in August, 1879; her father, Jennings McDaniel, was one

Railroad, at Cave City, Ky., which position he held until August, 1862, 
when he enlisted in Company C, Second Kentucky Volunteer Cavaalry 
(Confederate service), and served under Gen. Morgan in all his raids and 
engagements until that officer and his command were captured in southern 
Ohio. He was paroled and never exchanged until the close of the war; he 
had also four brothers in the Confederate Army, three of whom died while 
in the service.  Since the war Mr. Terry has been engaged in various 
kinds of business, merchandising, the saw-mill and lumber business, and
