B.B. was the son of Thomas C Terry Jr and Ann Coffield Terry. The Terry's came to Ky from N. Carolina. He was maried 3 times with 3 sets of children. My link to B. B. is with his first wife, Polly [Mary] Brice, they are my GGGrandparents. Blake and Polly had 2 sons, Gustave A Terry and James T Terry. Polly is buried in Old Marion Cem.

After Polly's death he married Sarah Elson who was the widow of his cousin, Henry Terry. Sarah and Henry were the parents of Amanda Catherine Terry.

B. B. named 2 of his sons Blake Baker Terry. The first son he named Blake Baker died at a few weeks old. I have yet to find where this child is buried but according to records he died in Crittenden Co, KY. He and Sarah had 10 other children.

Blake married a third time after Sarah Died. He married Elizabeth Maxwell and they had one child, a son that they namerd Blake Baker Terry also.

I have found records that indicate that he was what one would call today, "civic minded". He is listed as an appraiser, bondsman, guardian and several others in Crittenden Court records.∼Blake Baker Terry
