Teri is the daughter of Esther (Beshur) and Owen Walker Hatcher. Her father was a many-generations American, and had English, and some Irish and Scottish, ancestry. Her maternal grandfather was from Syria, and her maternal grandmother was of Frisian background.
Teri is sometimes said to have some degree of Choctaw Native American ancestry. It is not clear if this Choctaw ancestry has been verified/documented.
Teri has a daughter with her former husband, actor Jon Tenney.
Teri’s paternal grandfather was Owen Walker Hatcher (the son of James Hutson Hatcher and Anna Bell Pratt). Teri’s grandfather Owen was born in Oklahoma. James was the son of Owen Walker Hatcher and Permelia J. Hawkins. Anna was the daughter of James Pratt and Sarah “Sally” Sego/Seago.
Teri’s paternal grandmother was Mittie Mae Graham (the daughter of James Duncan Graham and Samantha Clercy Rogers). Mittie was born in Texas. James was the son of Ozias Denton Graham and Martha Matilda Thornton. Samantha was the daughter of Geogre Washington Lafayette Rogers and Sarah Ann Emaline Dean Lamb.
Teri’s maternal grandfather was Isbir Khalil Beshur/Bashur (the son of Khalil Beshur/Bashur and Rahma/Rahme Milhim/Milhem). Isbir was a dentist, who was born in Safita, Syria. At least some of the Beshur family may have had roots in Tripoli, Lebanon. They were likely related to Zerefeh Bashur, the first female licensed physician in the Levant, and prominent cardiologist Fouad Bashour. Isbir later re-married to Sarah Ann Kolar, who was of Bohemian Czech and Irish descent.
Teri’s maternal grandmother was Johanne/Hanna/Hanni Elizabeth Ontjes (the daughter of Conrad Ontjes and Gertrude de Vries). Johanne was an emigrant, from Heisfelde, Leer, Lower Saxony, Germany, and likely was of Frisian descent.
