Terressa Morse was married to:
1) William Erskine Bridges
2) Solomon Chamberlin
3) John Doyle Lee
4) Mr. Phelps

The identity of her last husband is unknown but she was using Phelps as her surname as early as 1875 when she was interviewed by the Sacramento Union regarding her marriage to John D. Lee.

Terressa had two children with Mr. Bridges: Robert Albert Bridges and Worthy Franklyn Bridges. With Mr. Chamberlin she had one daughter: Sariah Louisa Chamberlin.

The US 1860 Census of Fort Harmony, Washington, Utah shows a 5 year old child named Eunice living with Terressa Lee. John did not have any children by Terressa according to his own family records. However, John did adopt several Native American children and Eunice is likely one of them.

Terressa divorced John D. Lee in 1872 and made her home with her eldest son Robert at Richfield, Utah. She later moved with Robert to Cove which is now known as Sevier.

She is rumored to be buried at Sevier Cemetery which is now abandoned. The only stone in existence was made for her grandson Robert Albert "John" Bridges.

Some family records say she might have been buried at Joseph Cemetery instead. There are five grave plots there that are listed as "unknown".
