Terry, David Smith (b. Todd County, Ky., 8 Mar. 1823; d. Lathrop, Calif., 13 Aug. 1889), lawyer, jurist. David Smith Terry, a Texas lawyer and justice of the California Supreme Court, was a political opportunist with a violent history. Raised on the Texas frontier, Terry had numerous scrapes with the law. Elected to the California court in 1855 and serving as its chief justice, 1857–1859, Terry exhibited religious toleration, but was generally unsympathetic to aliens and minorities. In 1879 he was elected to the California Constitutional Convention. Terry and Associate Justice Stephen J.
Field developed a personal and political animosity, with both behaving in the spirit of no duty to retreat that resulted in Terry's death allegedly while assaulting Field.
