"I linked to your family history page in a websearch via MyHeritage. I was looking for general information about my great-grandmother's family and I see you have Devil Jett or Miles Terry listed and then his son Thomas Miles Terry 1787-1852. I also saw you or your page mentioned Floyd County [Kentucky]. I ... sort of think he was the man who started a new family and left my great-gm Martha Patsy Jane Terry. ... I do not know a great deal about Devil Jett other than I find his name mysterious. I am further descended through the Jett family and see no connection in the way back between the Terry and the Jett family of the area." -- Gwendolyn Andrews, Geneanet Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 11 January 2019 ----------------------- I am the great-granddaughter of Mary Jane Terry Jett 1877-1897. Her family goes back to parents Miles and Luraney Johnson Terry, grandparents Isaac and Barbara Gabbard Terry, and then great-grandparents Thomas Miles Terry 1797-1852 who was married to Martha Jane or Patsy Johnson in Breathitt County. This Thomas Miles was child of Miles B. or Devil Jet and Hannah Horton. Siblings were Rachel, Annie, Leonard, and Susanna Elizabeth. It is the story that this Thomas Miles [Terry] left Patsy and children and took off and remarried and had a different family up in Floyd County. I was just trying to be sure I had right person. I was also wondering about the name Devil Jett as I am a Jett but not sure why or what Devil Jett means. No insult but my Grandmother said we were not that old bad Curt Jett's bunch and I know she meant the feuding and killing Curtis Jett. I do not think he was related (well, not any more closely than us) to Devil Jet. -- Gwendolyn Andrews, Geneanet Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 19 January 2019 ----------------------- ----------------------- Mary (Polly) & Patsy Johnson marriages 1817 Thomas Johnson and Thomas Terry signed each other's marriage bonds on the same day.

Both remarried. Thomas to a Mary, surname unknown. Martha, to Benjamin Combs." -- Anonymous comment on the profile of Thomas Terry on FamilySearch, https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/97GQ-NN2 An 1850 census record in Carter County, Kentucky appears to be for the Thomas Terry who was Martha Johnson's first husband with his second wife, reported here as Mary. The location matches with a death record for Thomas Terry in Carter County in 1852. 1850 Federal Census, Breathitt County, Kentucky, 23 August, District 1, page 32-33, Hse/Fam #244 Thomas Terry 53 M Farmer $300 Real Estate b Virginia [b abt 1797] Mary Terry 40 F b Kentucky [b abt 1810] Samuel W Terry 21 F Laborer b Kentucky [b abt 1829] Leonard Terry 14 M b Indiana [b abt 1836] Isaac Terry 12 F b Indiana [b abt 1838] Elijah Terry 8 F b Indiana [b abt 1842] One of the sons of Thomas and Mary here is named Isaac, one of three born in Indiana. If this is the same Thomas Terry whose first wife was Martha (Patsy) Johnson, this is Thomas' second son named Isaac. He and Patsy had a son in 1820 whom they named Isaac. He is linked to Martha's FAG memorial. With the time gap, as well as location of birth, of the last three sons, it appears that Samuel is the son of Thomas' first wife, Martha Patsy Johnson, and the three Indiana-born sons are the sons of Mary. There are too many missing records and details to conclude at this point. Additionally, there are many individuals among the Terry, Johnson and Combs families, of near ages with the same given names. Along with this these families share a broad set of preferred names that kept getting used over and over, further confusing parentage in records and family memories. And all three of these families intermarried in several generations. So missing details in records make it difficult to discern specific relationships and parentage in several cases. A genealogy of the Combs lineage has details on Benjamin Combs, which mention Martha Patsy Johnson, hiss first wife. In the 1850 census, Martha (Patsy) was married to her second husband Benjamin Combs. They had nine-year-old twins, so they must have married about 1839 or early 1940. 1850 Federal Census, Breathitt County, Kentucky, 23 August, District 1, page 33, Hse/Fam #247 Benjamin Combs 57 M Farmer $250 Real Estate b Tennessee [b abt 1793] Patsy [Martha Johnston] Combs 48 F b Tennessee [b abt 1802] Elvira Combs 9 F b Tennessee [b abt 1841] Maranda Combs 9 M b Tennessee [b abt 1841] -------------------- Among children of John & Margaret Combs Benjamin Combs, born between 1787 and 1793 in (possibly Sullivan Co) Tennessee; died 6 Nov 1858, Breathitt Co, Kentucky; m (1) 04 Apr 1816, Clay Co, KY, Jane BROWN, b 1798-1802, TN; d bef 1842, probably in Breathitt Co, KY; m (2) bef 1842, Martha "Patsy" JOHNSON (who had m (1) 1 Jan 1817, Floyd Co, KY, Thomas TERRY), b 1798-1802 in TN or NC; d aft 1880, of Breathitt Co, KY. The first record we have for Benjamin is in Lincoln Co, KY, when, on 1 Nov. 1810, he witnessed the consent of John Combs for his daughter Sally to marry James HUNDLEY. The following day he was surety for their marriage bond. If Benjamin was a surety in 1810, he would have been at least 21 years of age giving him a date of birth prior to 1790. Benjamin is listed on the 1817, 1818 and 1829 Clay Co, KY Tax Lists. He has not yet been located on the 1820 Census. He is listed on the 1830 census in Perry Co, Kentucky. He is listed on the census in 1840 and 1850 in Breathitt Co, KY. Benjamin is named as a son of John (1761) in the Dickey Diary Interview of Margaret Combs Lewis. -- Revolutionary War Soldier John Combs Jr of East Kentucky (1761-1848), http://www.combs-families.org/combs/families/c-j1761.htm#benjamin -------------------- A memorial on Find a Grave for a Martha Jane "Patty" Brown has linked her as a wife to Benjamin henry Combs (1893-1858), with daughters Maranda and Elvira. The date of death 1858 for Benjamin matches with the 1860 census report for widow Martha Combs, reported in the household of her father Thomas Johnson. The many individuals in Breathitt County with the same or similar names in closely related families makes it seems likely that Martha Jane Brown has been confused with Martha Patsy Johnson in this FAG memorial and some genealogies, who first married Thomas Terry, then Benjamin Combs. There are several individuals in several generations named Thomas Johnson, Thomas Terry, Martha Combs and related family surnames, with similar ages, confusing several family identifications. There are also instances of Johnson surnamed couples marrying each other, further confusing family identities in this tight-knit group of families int eh county. We find similar situations in North Carolina counties as well with other family name groups. Further details and records of marriages and censuses, as well as deaths, will be needed to clarify some of these identities and family groups found in various genealogies. Patsy's brother Jesse Johnson was enumerated three houses away. 1850 Federal Census, Breathitt County, Kentucky, 23 August, District 1, page 32-33, Hse/Fam #244 Jesse Johnston Sr 56 M Farmer $250 Real Estate b Tennessee[b abt 1794] Polly [Burns] Johnston 55 F b Tennessee[b abt 1795] Madison Johnston 18 F b Kentucky [b abt 1832] Nancy Johnston 16 M b Kentucky [b abt 1834] - page 33 - Henderson Johnston 12 F b Kentucky [b abt 1838] Jefferson Johnston 8 F b Kentucky [b abt 1842] Her husband Benjamin died before the 1860 census.

After James was discovered by one of his children from his North Carolina family, Gilead, he asked forgiveness from Martha and returned to do the same to his first wife Hannah. The 1900 census reports Martha as divorced, so this must have been the legal disposition of their marriage in Virginia. The census shows her living with two of here children who are still single, making a living on their rented farm. Note that she reports herself as born in 1840 (no month) and 60 years old, but his is inconsistent with previous documents reporting her age. 1900 Federal Census, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, 26 June, District 90, Tunstall Magisterial District, page 20A, Hse #387, Fam #390 Green, Martha Head W F [no month] 1840 60 4 children/4 living VA VA VA Renting Farm Green, Edgar Son W M June 1874 25 Single VA VA VA Farm Laborer Green, Narcissa Dau W F [no month] 1877 23 Single VA VA VA I was unable to find death or burial information on Martha, even in the genealogies, and here her grandson was helpful.

That should make his brth some time in January. But the date of birth he reported to Selective Service for the WWII draft was 31 July 1909! Notice that his mother Pearl May (May in this census) was reported as a widow.

The marriage was in August 1929, the census was in April 1930. The daughter Wanda was born in June 1930. So why was Prentice (Ridgely) reported as Single in the Schuster household in 1930? Note that the Find a Grave memorial reports that Lillie was also in the home of her parents for the 1930 enumeration. So they separated even before the birth of their daughter, by April census time at the latest. Note that the FAG memorial reprots Prentice as Ridgely Prentice Johnson. In 1930 Ridgely P Johnson was again enumerated under that name as in 1910, rather than Prentice. Some records report him simply as Prentice Johsnson, including his California death record.

The 1940 census actually reported him already resident in Riverside County, Callifornia for the enumeration of the census. The census date that year was Aoril 1, so it seems the residence in July when he registered for the draft should have been Riverside County, California, not Haskell County, Oklahoma. The census did report that in 1935 both Prentice and his wife Hazel had been resident in Haskell County, Oklahoma. So they must have been in the process of moving. It appears that Prentice registered for the draft while he was back in Oklahoma, at his old address, but already had been in California and enumerated at his new address. 1940 Federal Census, Riverside County, California, 1 May, Indio, District 33-18, Page 6A, 113 North Jackson, Rents $15 Johnson, Prantice R [sic] Head M W 30 Married Grade 8 b Oklahoma In Rural Haskell Co OK in 1935 Farmer [b abt 1910] Johnson, Hazel H Wife F W 21 Married Grade 7 b Oklahoma In Rural Haskell Co OK in 1935 [b abt 1919] We don't have any information on the time of Prentice's marriage to Hazel.

But he has been single in every censusee until 1940. That sentence reports that both he and Hazel lived in the Rurla Haskell County, Oklahoma. It does not, however, confirm for us whether they were already married before 1935, or simply lied in the same county. Jenifer also says that Prentice had four children with his first wife. But it is not clear when that could have happened, given the report from his daughrter Wanda's FAG memorial above that Prentice and Lillie maried only in 1929. Becuse Prentice was in his parents' home and reported as sinlge in 1930. And it was no long before Prentice and Hazel were in California.
