Caroline county. He was known as "Big Tommy," his diminutive wife lived to be
nearly a hundred. Their children were:-Chiles, Thomas, James, Charles, Reuben,
Micajah, John Hope and Nancy. Thomas, Sr., purchased of Col. John Watts of
Lynchburg 1OOO acres of land in the Miami Belt of Ohio, afterwards in Silver
Creek township, Green Co., Ohio. They started with all their family excepting
John Hope and Reuben for the Wilderness in Ohio. A few years after they had
gone, Zachariah Moorman in 1732, who married Bettie Terrell (dau. of Henry
Terrell, who was a captain in the 5th Va. Revolutionary army), also moved to
Ohio. Zach. Moorman was father of Henry Moorman, one of the principal
contractors on the James river and Kanawha Canal. Zach. Moorman; m., 2nd,

  In 181O another emigration to Ohio from Campbell was made by Anthonys,
Terrells, Johnsons and Thurman. Among these was Christopher Anthony, Sr., whose
eloquence as a pulpit orator had attracted wide attention for a quarter of a
century, son of Joseph, his grand-father was Mark Anthony. Dr. Charles Anthony,
a distinguished surgeon for 30 years in the U. S. Navy, and Lynch Anthony, who
died in the Canadian Topographical Engineering Corps at Halifax, N. S., in I860,
were descendants: George Ellis Pugh, attorney-at-law, was a descendant of
Christopher Anthony, also Mrs. Emma Anthony Cartmel of Springfield, Ohio.

  The Terrell descendants are scattered over Ohio, Iowa, and California. Anthony
Clark Terrell was a jurist of considerable fame in Minnesota. His nephew, David
Terrell, forged himself to the front as an Engineer in the U. S. Coast Surveys
on the Pacific coast. David Anthony settled with his brother, Samuel, in
Highland county, Ohio, and many of their descendants are still in the region of
New Lexington, Ohio.

  Hon. A. D. Candler became Governor of Georgia; E. D. Candler, member of
Congress from Mississippi; Warren A. Candler, of Atlanta, Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, were all of Campbell ancestry. Terrells in the
South are represented by Judge A. W. Terrell, of Austin, later minister to
Turkey, under the Cleveland administration; and Judge Jos. Terrell of Fort
Worth; these were brothers of Dr. John J. Terrell of Lynchburg.

  Benjamin Butterworth, who married Rachel, daughter of Zachariah and Bettie
Terrell-Moorman, moved to Ohio in 1812; his son Henry Thomas (married his
cousin, Nancy Irvin Wailes), was a prominent railroad contractor and general
internal improvement commissioner. He settled on Little Miami river; his widow
lived to be nearly 1OO years old. A daughter was Mrs. Jane B. Foster of Athens,
McMinn county, Term. Moorman Butterworth, a brother of Henry T. (married Fanny
Smith), left a son, Clark Butterworth of Waynesville, Ohio, who was an
encyclopedia of family history. Another brother, Benj. Butterworth, Jr., (born
1794, m. Judith Welch, a cousin), attorney-at-law, was a state senator and for
several years represented the Cincinnati district in Congress. Upon the election
of Benjamin Harrison to the Presidency, Butterworth was made a cabinet officer
and was Commissioner of Patents at the time of his death in 1869.

  Descendants of Micajah and Sarah Lynch-Terrell settled on the Ohio river belt
and on the Great Lakes. Johnson descendants scattered from Ohio to California:
several members were managers of manufacturing establishments and railroad
enterprises in Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio.

  Clark Moorman Terrell and Robert Moorman went to Texas in 1861, joined a
Confederate battery, remaining in the army during the war, and returned to their
Texas homes after the termination of hostilities.

county.
