"In 1738 the Council of Colonial Virginia passed an Act whereby those people who would settle the land in the southern boundary of Virginia along the Roanoke River would be free from taxes for the next 10 years. The Council felt that the settling of that part of VA would add strength and security to the Colony of VA in general. If we follow the land patent records, we find that James TERRY, Daniel TERRY, Thomas TERRY, Joseph TERRY, Henry TERRY, and their children took advantage of this opportunity, leaving the Pamunkey Neck area of VA and moved southward."
