Henry Terrell had 2 wives Anne or Anna Dabney & Sarah Dyer. It is a mistake that Susannah (Barrett) Terrell has been attached as a child of John & Anna Harris Dabney instead of Anna. I am switching them. And their children.
Their son John Dabney Terrell, Sr. writes his father married 2nd:
(When) he was old and from some unhappy fatuity married his overseer's daughter. - He possessed a very handsome estate and left perhaps one-half to his wife and two younger children. Henry and Patsy. - By his last wife he had Henry and Patsy who married James Osborn, and now lives in Decalb, Ga.
No name is given for this 2nd wife - QUESTION is she the above Susannah (Barrett) Terrell??? No, Sarah Dyer was the Overseer's Daughter and she is listed, along with the two children in Henry's will, of which a transcript of his will has been uploaded'
Ann(a) Dabney is the daughter of John Dabney and Anna Harris. She is the wife of Revolutionary War Veteran, Henry (aka "Harry") Terrell [1] and the mother of The Honorable John Dabney Terrell, Sr. (October 14, 1775 – May 10, 1850), a notable of Marion county, Alabama, and who served both as a State Representative and a State Senator.

However, she belongs somewhere. That said, it appears she needs to be merged with Susannah Dabney Susannah Dabney (1753-1799) as the daughter of William Dabney William Dabney (1707-1773) and his wife Susanne aka Anne Barrett Anne (Barrett) Dabney (1715-1779). Birth years are within 3 years, death dates are 25 years apart, both in Virginia with different locations. However, there is no context for the dates, nor locations for Susannah Barrett-11659 since she is no longer associated with Henry Terrell.
