Tersier (in the 17th century also Targier, possibly the original form), a Dutch Mennonite family, probably of Flemish descent, was found at [[Dordrecht (Zuid-Holland, Netherlands)|Dordrecht]] in the 17th century. (1) Abraham Tersier (the name Ferrier, <em>Doopsgezinde Bijdragen</em> (1862): 104, is wrong), married to Geertruid Terwen, was chosen in 1691 as elder of the Dordrecht Mennonite congregation.
