James TERREL married Elizabeth (TERREL).

The Terrell family traces back to North and South Carolina, then to Colonial Virginia, and back to England. Our early Terrell family was of Royal English descent, whose motto was "Sans Dieu Rien" which means "Without God Nothing".

There is an old family tale handed down for many generations in the various lines of the family. The family had immigrated from England. The tale tells how three Terrell Brothers were each passed down "Silver Buckles" from their father. One was a set of Knee Buckles, one Suspender Buckles, and the third set was Shoe Buckles.

Each of the three brothers were given a set of "Silver Buckles" with the understanding it was to be passes down to the oldest male of each succeeding generation. This was to be done "least our heritage be lost". Ruth Elizabeth Humphreys Lambert's version of the story was almost identical to that found in very distant lines of this family. The tale of the "Silver Buckles" was always a fascinating story. Validating the tale meant finding the descendants and present day owners, which seemed incredible and unlikely. It was in 1988, after nearly threee years of research, that two of the three sets of "Silver Buckles" were locaterd in the posesssion of present day descendants.

One of the three brothers was named James Terrell, and it is from him that Rugh Elizabeth Hmpphreys Lambert descends. The original "Silver Buckles" passed down from James Terrell are currently in a bank vault in Nocona, Texas. Engraved on the back ar the initials "J.T." and the date "1657". (It is said that this set was passed down from James, to Philemon Terrell Sr, to Philemon Terrell Jr, to Samuel Lafayette Terrell)

The second set of "Silver Buckles", owned by the Lake Eric Terrell family of South Carolina, are said to have been passed down from Richmond Terrell who immigrated to Virginia in 1656. The two sets of "Silver Buckles" are almost identical in size measuring 1.5 by almost 2 inches.

Although the size is similar; the appearance, claw mechanism, and tongue design differs between the two sets. Either of the two sets of "Silver Buckles" could be suspender, knee or shoe buckles. The hallmark and die punch marking on the backs of these two sets of 300+ year old "Silver Buckles" could, by silversmiths, be used to trace their origins. They likely date back to England rather than Colonial Virgijnia. The third set of "Silver Buckles" has yet to be located.

Elizabeth (TERREL) married James TERREL.
