      Roger Terrill came from a long line of Terrill's dating back as far as Thomas of Heron, England, born about 1405. The Tyrrell's or Terrill's came to the New World from England sometime before 1638 with Roger and his wife, Abigail Ufford, settling in Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, which was established by English merchants. The Terrill and Ufford families were among the first of many English settlers to come to America because of religious persecution. Five subsequent generations of Tyrrell's stayed in Connecticut with John b. 1644, Nathan b. 1693, Asahel b. 1739, Elijah Asahel (a twin) b. 1775, and Asahel b. 1802.

      Birth year for first two children
      There are birth records for both John Terrell and Abigail Terrell which, on the surface, look like they are only 3 months apart. It is likely that John was born in 1643 rather than 1644. Could this be a result of using the Gregorian vs Julian Calendar?
