Charles C. Terry (1830-1867) was the brother of Leander (Lee) Terry, who was a member of the original Denny Party of settlers in the Seattle area. Charles Terry arrived in the area in 1851. He immediately opened a store on Alki Point. This was the first store in the future King County. Terry arrived at Alki Point with the Denny party on the schooner EXACT, bringing with him from Portland tools, tin ware, tobacco, whiskey, brandy, and raisins. Charles Terry had traveled west from New York state. He named his new home on Alki Point (the future West Seattle) New York. Later it came to be called Alki meaning "by and by" in the Chinook jargon. In July 1856, Charles Terry married Mary Jane Russell. Terry obtained his store goods from Portland, Oregon, and from trading schooners. Terry donated land to help establish the UW's first campus in what is now downtown Seattle. A local newspaper reported, on Feb. 18, 1867, that Terry had died, probably of consumption, at age 37.
