Tillotson Terrell

Tillotson Terrell (born 1 May 1785 in Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut), was one of the first twenty settlers of Ridgeville Township in what is now Lorain County, Ohio. He, along with several others, traded their land in Connecticut for 1/4 of the land in Ridgeville and made the trip on horseback and foot.

Tillotson died 23 December 1838 in Ridgeville. His mother, Rhoda Williams, was a survivor of the Wyoming Massacre.
