Benjamin Franklin Terry follows the lead of some of the Machen
family who were doctors. I still don't know why he went to Rising
Star, Texas. He seems to have married and had most of his children
here. I was very surprised to find the cemetery record that lists
all the sons who didn't survive. My previous list only had four
girls surviving. I need more information on this family.
Benjamin Franklin Terry graduated from Vanderbuilt University
School of Medicine in Nashville, Tennessee in 1888.
