THE EARLIEST KNOWN RECORD MENTIONING EDWARD TEAGUE:

http://aomol.net/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/000087/h...

Archives of Maryland Online website, vol. 87, p. 405, Somerset County Judicial Records, 1671-1675. [dated 10 Nov. 1674]:

The same Day Commrs: as Afore
Thomas Jones brings his servant Edward Teage before the Cort: & Prayes the worpll: Cort: to Judge of his age he y sd: Edward Teage Comeing into this Province without Indentures; After A full veiwe had by the Justices setting in Cort: of the said servant Edward Teage This Cort: Doe adjudge him the sd: Edward Teage ffoureteene years of age ; / ; ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

(The same day [10 Nov 1674]; Commissioners as afore.

Thomas Jones brings his servant Edward Teage before the Court and prays the worshipful court to judge of his age, he, the said Edward Teage coming into this province without indentures. After a full view had by the Justices sitting in court of the said servant Edward Teage, this court do adjudge him, the said Edward Teage fourteen years of age....)

NOTE;
The purpose in having Edward's age legally determined in court was, most likely, in order to fix the length of Edward's indenture, which, for minors, usually lasted until their twenty-first birthday (think of Frederick in The Pirates of Penzance). Note also that this document does not necessarily mean that Edward was fourteen, merely that he could still pass for fourteen, if Thomas Jones were not entirely scrupulous in such matters.

Excerpt from the Teague Family Magazine originally published in the 1970s

"The earliest known record we have located on Edward Teague is contained in theHall of Records in Annapolis, Md. in the "Index to Early Settlers" (1630-1680). Volume 2. This reads as follows:

June 8, 1675 "‘Eodem Die (this day) Thomas Jones proved his right to two hundred and fifty acres of land for transporting himself, Edward Teage, John Edmonds,Sr., Rebecca Edmonds, John Edmonds, Jr. into this Province to inhabit".

The question, where did Edward Teague come from? Was he transported direct from England, or was he brought into Maryland from the Eastern Shore of Virginia where some earlier Teagues had settled? The record doesn’t say but in checking on Thomas Jones, the person who transported him into Maryland we find he, (Thomas Jones), was a mariner from Bristol, England, a trader and sheriff of Somerset County, Md. In 1672 he was given exclusive rights to trade with the Indians in St. Mary’s County, Md.

We believe Edward was 15 when transported into Maryland; that his year of birth was in the neighborhood of 1660. As to the names of his parents, the Association hasn’t let up on the research. We have several good leads, but nothing definite that we can prove by the records.

The second record on Edward Tegg (as was spelled in these documents) relates to a Warrant Patent of 300 acres of land in Cecil County, Md., as laid out in two tracts by Thomas Coursey, Deputy Surveyor, - one for 130 acres dated August 25, 1695, and the other for 160 acres dated August 26, 1695. These were recorded in the Land Office in Annapolis, Md. Ten."

Married: Susan (?)

The following information is from: http://members.tripod.com/~jack0204/gen/teague/edward_teague.html

We consider Edward Teague to be the first known identifiable ancestor of a great majority of the Southern and Mid-Western Teague families, based on the records and published herewith.

The spelling of the name Teague as well as other names in the early days of this country varied considerably from time to time and place to place as such spelling was based on the pronunciation and the possible guess of the recorder of these documents. In some instances the person knew the correct spelling of the name, but as the educational level of the early settlers was considerably limited because of an almost non-existent schooling available; many of the settlers were not able to read or write.

Edward Tegg’s name was transcribed in the records in 1675 as Teage, in 1695 as Tegg, and was corrected by his son William Teague in 1714, even though William was unable to sign his own name, but it is evident he knew how to spell it.

(Note: this information was added from a merge. I have no evidence as to it's validity, especially in light of the fact that they name the ship "Thomas Jones", who is in fact the man the transported Edward to Virginia. Ed. Rich Teague)

Edward Teague 1655-1696 was from Bristol England and paid passage to America on the ship Thomas Jones in 1675. He settled in Cecil County Md where he bought 290 acres of land naming it Teagues Delight. His son William Teague 1693-1762 sold his fathers land in 1714 at age 21. He migrated to Frederick Co VA in 1737 and later to North Carolina in 1751 Ref is internet Kipp Teagues family Genealogy--US GENWEB FOR NORTH CAROLINA--BUNCOMBE CO. check out this site for more info on this family. Could not find a marriage for these guys. I think that they also lived in New Castle Co DE May have married over there.

Added 21 Dec 2017 by (descendant) Marvin Loyd Welborn. From the Teague Family Magazine, Winston-Salem, NC. We consider Edward Teague to be the first known identifiable ancestor of a great majority of the Southern and Mid-Western Teague families, based on the records and published herewith.

The spelling of the name Teague as well as other names in the early days of this country varied considerable from time to time and place to place as such spelling was based on the pronunciation and the possible guess of the recorder of these documents. In some instances the person knew the correct spelling of the name, but as the educational level of the early settlers was considerably limited because of an almost nonexistent schooling available; many of the settlers were not able to read or write.

Edward Tegg's name was transcribed in the records in 1675 as Teage, in 1695 as Tegg,k and corrected by his son William Teague in 1714, even though William was unable to sign his own name, but it is evident he knew how to spell it.

The earliest known record we have located on Edward Teague is contained in the Hall of Records in Annapolis, MD in the "Index of Early Settlers" (1630-1680) Volume 2. This reads as follows:

June 1, 1675

"Eodem Die (this day) Thomas Jones proved his right to two hundred and fifty acres of land for transporting himself, Edward Teage, John Edmonds, Sr., Rebecca Edmonds, John Edmonds, Jr. into this Province to inhabit."

The question - where did Edward Teague come from? Was he transported direct from England, or was he brought to maryland from the Eastern Shore of Virginia where some earlier Teagues had settled? The records don't say but in checking on Thomas Jones, the person who transported him into Maryland, we find he was a mariner from Bristol, England, a trafer and sheriff of Somerset County, MD. In 1672 he was given exclusive rights to trade with the Indians in St. Mary's County, MD. As to the names of his parents, the Association hasn't let up on the research.

In 1704, Emanuel Smith, evidently in bad health, made his last will and testament dated April 19, 1704. he died on June 3, 1704 and it was in his will that we found the names of Edward's children and the name of Edwar's wife, Susan. In the Maryland Calendar of Wills, page 37, regarding the settlement of the Estate of Emanuel Smith, he had made reference to his step-children as son-in-law and daughters-in-law, an expression of common usage in those days. In brief, this is the contents:

"To son-in-law William Teage, daughters-in-law Catherine and Ann Teage, brother Benjamin Smith, personalty. Daughter Matha and Mary at age 16, --- all lands equally. To wife Susan, extra personalty."

(The above is a brief of the document that gave us the clue that Emanuel Smith had married Edward Teague's widow, Susan.)

Here we have the first Teague Family that we can pinpoint and say --- this is truly the beginning of the Teagues in the South, based on our present records. Restated and condensed, it reads as follows:

Edward Teague (born ca 1660 -- died March 9, 1697) wife Susan (married Emanuel Smith after death of Edward)

Known Children: (order of birth not known)

• i. Catherine Teague
• ii. William Teague born about 1693.
• iii Ann Teague.

Hello, The original message on Edward Teague by Jennifer Schu has incorrect Welborn information in it. James Welborn that married Isabelle Teague is the son of William Welborn, Jr. and his wife Ann Crabtree of Baltimore Co., MD. James Welborn's birth is recorded in the St. George Parish Record page 292 folder 129 "August the 18th 1736 Then was born James Wilbourn son of William Wilbourn and Ann his Wife." The father of Isabelle , Moses Teague is well documented in Old Frederick Co., VA . He ran a ferry across the river there. The pattern of movement for the Chester Co., PA/Baltimore Co., MD is thru Old Frederick Co., VA /Berkeley Co. W VA and into the Piedmont area of NC with allied Teague family. Later this James Welborn died in Barren Co., KY. James Welborn that married Elizabeth Dudley lived in Halifax Co., NC and was the son of Daniel Welburne III of Accomack Co., VA . They moved thru NC into KY and this James Welborn also died in KY but in Mulhenburg Co., KY. I have information on both of these families. Just e-mail me and will share. Carolyn Wellborn Haskins

Hello, My above message should read William Welborn, Senior and Ann Crabtree. Sorry. Carolyn Wellborn Haskins w4wxa@peachnet.campuscw.net
