Parshall Terry, U.E., (February 22, 1756 – July 20, 1808) was a political figure in Upper Canada. He was born in Matticuck, Province of New York, British America in 1756 and during the American Revolution served on the British Loyalist side with Butler's Rangers. After the war, he settled at Kingston, later removing to Newark and then on to York (now Toronto). He was elected to the 1st Parliament of Upper Canada in the riding of 4th Lincoln and Norfolk. With his father-in-law, Timothy Skinner, and his two brothers-in-law, Isaah and Timothy Jr, he built and operated a large sawmill on the Don River north of York. His home has been preserved as part of the Todmorden Mills Heritage Museum near the former site of the mill. He drowned in 1808 while crossing the Don River. His son William later represented Lincoln in the Legislative Assembly. References
