from "Pioneer Settlers of Alexander County, NC" link

Rev. Edward Teague, the Pioneer, according to authoritative tradition, was ninety years old at his death in 1810. If this tradition is correct he was born in 1720. From the best records obtainable, he with his brother, William Teague, and his kinsmen, John Teague and Solomon Teague, Benjamin Austin, Nathan Austin, Elijah Austin, Jehu Barnes, Francis Dorsett, John White, Simon Rogers,
Thomas Jones, Henry Reed, William Payne, and others removed from the area of Siler City, then Orange County, about 1775 and came to make settlement in what is now Alexander County.

Rev. Edward Teague, along with many others of his fellow-settlers, had in 1768, signed a petition to Governor Tryon for redress of certin grievences, which led to the Regulators Rebellion in 1771. After the battle of Alamance, many were dissatisfied with conditions. Apparently he with the group abovenmentioned, chose to move westward across the line of division drawn by Governor Tryon running North and South just west of Statesville, North Carolina, preferring to live with the Indians rathert than under the rule of British governors.

Most of the group settled in what was then known as Burke County, which extended eastward to Lower Little River, which flows southward, passing about two miles west of Taylorsville, North Carolina. Edward Teague settled just beyond the west end of Barretts Mountain on Middle Little River, marking out boundary of land for which he recived title by State Grant after Independence was won and North Carolina became a sovereign state. The original tract consisted of 340 acres.

the Census of 1790 shows Edward Teague of Burke County to have a family consisting of a wife, and two sons under sixteen and five daughters, also two negro slaves.

On one of these tracts of land, Edward Teague built his home and reared his children, most of whom were born here.

Edward Teague was a leader of men and had a marked influence in his community. Perhaps he was best known as a preacher and the organizer of the first Baptist Church in this section of themstate, known as the New Meeting House, organized in 1797, and a house of worship was erected at a point now known as the Munday Graveyard in Ellendale Township. Edward Teague became its first minister, serving the church from 1797 to his death in 1810.

EDWARD TEAGUE

Edward Teague was another patriarch of a large posterity in Alexander. A preacher of deep feeling and sympathy, founder of the first church in the territory of Ellendale and was one of the signers of a largely signed petition of remonstrance against Governor Tryon's tyrannical government. His brother, William Teague, also a refugee, was another signer. Edward had two sons, Moses and Vandaver; three daughters, Rebecca married Nathan Austin; Lurana, married Jehu Barnes; Isabella married Duck Jim Teague. Moses mar­ried Katie Payne, daughter of the Revolutionary soldier, Robert Payne and was a soldier under "Old Hickory" Jackson, in his Indian campaigns and at New Orleans in 1814. Vandaver married a Carpenter and was drowned in a swollen stream in sight of home as he was returning from a journey. Edward and his wife are buried in a cemetery near the site of the church he founded.

Notes

Joseph Williams and wife Lydia, Providence Williams and wife Sarah and Ann Paulson (Probably wife of Richard Paulson and sister of Joseph and Providence) had moved across the Potomac River toVirginia before 1736 and were all in Orange Co. Va when they sold a 222 acre tract of land and a 60-acre tract of land located on the "east side of Suquehanna River near a great fall called Conawangoe Fall" adjacent Edward Teague's land on 8 March 1736/37.
