General Notes

[coosa1.ged]
The marriage records spell her maiden name as Tekle.  Another source
spelt her name as Tekel.
Tekle/tekell/tekel/teackle/tickle/tickel/teakell-
The first spelling of the name is Tickel and tickle, found in NC.  The
oldest anscestor is John Tickle married to Nancy Adams.  He was born 1784
NC.  When I send you the info, you will see the evolution of the name.
The family fanally adopted two spellings-Tekell and Teakell.  There are
pronounced-Tekell-tea kell', and Teakell-teak' ull.  The various census
takers spelled it a variety of ways.
Following is where other 2nd Cav info can be found Other Tekell's in the
Confederate Army

Both Tekel's paroled(released) on 4 May 1865. Under command of Brig. Gen.
S. W. Fergurson
Fegruson's command was the last command to report for duty to the
Secretary of War of the Confederate States.
I haven't a clue who Ansel Teakell in 1850 Hancock Co., AL is.  There is
an unknown Teakell born c 1812 GA but it is supposed to be a girl.  Ansel
should show up on the 1840 AL census since his children are listed as
born in AL.  A great curiosity.
I have surveyed the cemetery where Amanda C. Harris, John Matt Teakell,
Sarah E. Garrett are buried.  You can find it on ALGenWeb Archives.
Fairview Cem. # 2 Addison, Winston Co., AL.  I have seen Nipper Adams
