Notes:

Parshall Adam is the son of Jacob Terry.

Parshall married Emma Amanada YOUNG. Emma (daughter of George YOUNG and Jane TERRY) was born on 28 Feb 1841 in Calhoun, Jerey Co., Illinois; died on 10 Oct 1926 in Los Angeles, California; was buried in Fort Lawn Cemetery. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Emma Amanda Young was the daughter of Jane Terry & George Young.

. The Mormons were industrious & had accumu­lated property & built homes, but were forced to leave everything & flee for their lives into Illinois.
It seemed that, that part of the Constitution of the United States "to allow all mento worship God as they saw fit" was entirely forgotten by the Government Officials, where the Mormons were concerned. There was much sickness among the people due to lack of food &shelter as it was bitter cold November weather when they were driven from their homes. George was one who answered to the call of death in the winter of 1838, at Quincy, Adams, Illinois.
Try to picture if you can, the sad plight of this young widow, only 19 years old, left with a small son to provide for as well as herself to look out for, under such unfavorable conditions.
She was fortunate, indeed, when George Young asked her to marry him. They eventually rejoiced over the arrival of a little daughter, Emma Amanda, born February 23, 1841, at Calhoun, Jersey County, Illinois.
The mob persecutions went from bad to worse in Illinois.To show just a few of the unmerciful treatments these people had to endure, although innocent on any misdemeanor, let me quote a few lines from.the book:
"Essentials of Church History" page A153 "On one occasion some of the
citizens of Nauvoo, Illinois, went out into the country about ll miles to harvest wheat. While engaged in their work they were surrounded by a mob who ransacked their wagons, seized their weapons, & then took them, one at a time & brutally beat them with hickory goads. When they asked why they were treated in that manner, the answer was given that they had committed no offense, but they were 'Mormons' & were gaining too much of a hold in
that state."

Finally, the Saints could not stand against the mobs any longer & so under such pressure, President Brigham Young gave the orders to move westward into the state of Iowa. George & Jane, with the 2 children, crossed the Mississippi River, perhaps on the ice, as many did as it was January of 1846, to make a temporary camp on Sugar Creek, Iowa.
The weather was extremely cold & stormy, & a great number of the people were without proper clothing & necessary shelter. Many of the wagons were without covers. Several members of the camp died from exposure & lack of proper care. The roads were almost impassable because of the constant storms. At this time there were some 400 wagons on the road. Somewhere along this toilsome journey over the plains of Iowa, George Young became very ill & died in the fall of 1846. For the second time in a few years, Jane was left a widow. She was ill herself, but for the children's sake, she hung to life to do what she could for them.
. . . Emma had got better of the canker & was going to school. [mouth/tongue ulcers.] She was nows 7 years old. It was a great trial for such young children to be left without parents. Emma Amanda, with the Hewards came in the company with Zerah Pulsipher. After grandfather Parshall came o see how they were getting along & told them he thought they could do better if they moved to Draperville where most of the Terry's were located, so they did in March 1855. At 17 years old Emma Amanda at that she entered into plural marriage with her first cousin, Parshall Adam Terry (the oldest son of Jacob Terry) & married him as his second wife.

Parshall Adam Terry & his second wife, Emma Amanda Young, left Utah about 1861, driving 6 teams of mules over the High Sierra mountains, & settling in Marysville, California, where he engaged in the merchandise business, selling to the gold miners who were working the "Mother Lobe",
He remained there about seven years when he decided to return to the Middle West. Not wishing to drive over the mountains again, he took his family by boat from San Francisco to the Isthmus of Panama, then known as the Isthmus of Darien. Crossing the Isthmus by land, they again sailed for New York by ship, & thence by train to St. Louis, Missouri. "They remained in St. Louis only a year or 2, as the mother 'did not rear her 6 children on the city streets.' They moved to Dansa, Illinois, where he again took up merchandising, selling for cash only. This was during the panic years after the Civil War, & because he alone refused to allow credit to his customers, mention is made of this fact in the County History. He operated under the firm name of P. A. Terry & Co.
Even though Parhshall Terry Jr. had reached the age of 53 years, he decided to take up the medical profession himself. Leav­ing the store to be operated by his wife & sons, he went to St. Louis where he studied medicine for 3 years. He selected Aitchison, Kanas as the place to begin is medical practice, but the then moved San Francisco, California, where he remained & practiced his new profession until 1906, when he & his wife were ruined financially by the great earthquake & fire. He made his home for a time in Los Angeles where he lived until his death in 1913.
Emma Amanda Young Terry out lived her husband by 13 years, succeeded in becoming financially independent before her death. Being an excellent seamstress, at the age of 75 years, she began doing piece work for a shirt factory in Los Angeles, at the same time investing her savings in Real Estate. Aided by the physical growth of that city, she benefited by the increase in property values. She died on Sunday, October 10, 1926, having been a self-supporting citizen to the very day of her death. She intensely patriotic & was buried with the flag of the United States in her hands. Her grave may be found in beautiful Forest Lawn, Glenadale, California, quite appropriately near the flag pole, from which the US flag flies daily."

Buried:
Glendale, California

1. An Enduring Legacy: Volume Twelve, Graves Along the Pioneer Trail:
Jane Terry Tarbox Young
. 1846 November 19, my sister, Jane Young & her 2 children came to our house at Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, with Brother William Parshall. On the morning of the 21st I started with them for Winter Quarters, Nebraska .... Although it was only 15 miles the road was so bad that we could not get there until the 23rd. I gave Jane a sovereign & left her at Sister Thompson's where she wished to stay. I brought her little boy Elisha Tarbox back to live with me.

On February 5, 1847 John & I went to see my sister Jane. We found she had left Sister Thompson's & gone to live at Brother Wooley's. She said she had worked too hard & had caught cold & was very sick indeed. She said she wished to see President Young, so I went & asked him to go & see her, which he did. We came home on February 6 & on February 15, Elisha Tarbox & I went again to see Jane at Sister Holman's, but when we got there she was so low that she could not speak nor make any sign that she knew us. About 12 o'clock that night she died of consumption. Her little girl, Amanda, was 6 years old & was sick with canker. My brother Joel was there. He had agreed to pay Sister Holmes a dollar a week to take care of her & it had already cost him $40 to pay the doctor, nurse & funeral expenses, so I took the children & went to President Young. He asked me if I could not take the children & care for them. I told him I would take them & try to do the best I could for them. February 16th President Young sent Brother Atwood with his carriage & took us home. The last I saw Jane that she could talk with me she told me that Emma needed a change of dress for she was almost destitute for clothing. Elisha was [destitute] also, but Jane had cloth that I made up for him."

Jane's children continued the trek westward. Elisha Terry Tarbox arrived in Salt Lake October 15, 1849, in the Alan Taylor company. He later went to California & established his home & family there. Emma Amanda Young arrived in Salt Lake September 25, 1848, with the Hewards in the Zera Pulispher company. Emma married Parshall Adam Terry when she was 17 years old; she was his second wife, the one he chose to live with after the Manifesto. Later in life Parshall became a physician & practiced in California until the San Francisco earthquake & fire ruined him financially. Emma outlived Parshall by thirteen years & at the age of 75 was doing piecework for a shirt factory in Los Angeles.

Living Conditions: Lollie Anderson's Death On the Plains
It was November 1856 when Captain James G. Willie's hand-cart company was having a very difficult time making its way toward the Salt Lake Valley. A number of them perished from the cold & food was practically gone. In an attempt to conserve on the sparse stores as much as possible, each member of the company was given an allotment of two tablespoons of flour per day. The flour was made into a gravy & along with an edible root resembling the sego lily provided almost their entire diet. - - -

His birth occurred during the time of the struggle for possession of the WyomingValley in Pennsylvania. The settlers had fled in 1763 after an Indian attack and did not return until
1769. Joshua was therefore born at some place of temporary refuge.
