I have a document from 12/10/1778 from County of Zemplinia, Hungary. It gives reference to Noblemen Terebessy Georgium, Terebessy Francis, Terebessy Stephani, and Terebessy Adam.
The family crest is a four sided tower erected over a tripple hill and a turtle dove pierced with a spear on it, and of a flag protruding from the top granted by the emporer of Ferdinand II, in 1624.
The document also mentions the cities Agard and Nagy.

Zemplen (in Hungarian language) or Zemplin (in Slovak language) was a historical megye (=county) in the Hungarian kingdom. Larger part of this teritory is now the region Zemplin in the present teritory of Slovakia, smaller part is in Hungary. Zemplin is also name of one village in the region Zemplin.

Agard is now called Ősagárd (= Old Agard) and it is a village in northern Hungary.

(sorry, this page I find in hungarian only)

I can't identify Nagy. Hungarian meaning of the word is Great or Big. There are many villages called Nagy (something), like Nagykanizsa etc.

There exist an 11 volume book about Hungarian noble families (also in CD form):
