Daughter of Elisha C. & Abigail McDonald Terry. Wife of Thomas Baxter Baxley. They married in 1890 and became the parents of five sons and one daughter.
The Baxley-Terry home was on Bear Branch Road directly across from the T-intersection with Hall Road in Richmond County. Bear Branch Cemetery is across Bear Branch Road from the house. It burned after 1993. (The house is visible in a 1/29/1993 view on Google Earth.)
Thomas and Cornelia Terry Baxley donated the land for Bear Branch Cemetery. These lands were originally owned by Cornelia's Terry family who lived north of Hitchcock's Creek. The earliest marked grave here is dated 1853.
There is evidence of a Bear Branch Church in a frame building. It was one of three churches that combined in 1854 to form Green Lake United Methodist Church, located at the intersection of Bear Branch and Green Lake Roads. The congregation moved in 1857 to Green Lake UMC.
Cornelia's nickname has been passed down by two family members. A granddaughter states that her father said his mother (Cornelia) was known as "Miss Puss". The writer's mother, who was a niece to Cornelia, visited the home of Cornelia and Thomas many times and said Cornelia was known as "Puss".
