Hi, I don't have much info on Terry G but I am the Granddaughter of B.B. and my dad called Terry G, Uncle Gillford.
His parents were Lula Martha Bales, daughter of William J Bales and Rebecca Bales, & Terry Walker Cressel son of James Augustus Cressel and Mary Elizabeth Dudley.
Rebecca filed for divorce from William J in 1887 on grounds of Fraud and abandonment, I've read the documents but have not found the verdict.
James Augustus served in the 51st Virginia Infantry.
Mary Elizabeth was the daughter of Charles Dudley, if I am not mistaken he was the first in our Dudley line to come from England.
I've been researching the Cressel, Bales, Kitts, and Stowers lines for 12 years now. I recently was able to connect the Bales line back to Hannah Rebecca Arthur AKA Nikitie (Full Cherokee Indian). She would be my 6th Great Grandmother and she is also my 15th cousin 10 times removed through the Stowers line.
