General Notes

John Teague
It is known that a John Teague was transported to Virginia
, arrivingNovember 27, 1652. He was brought to that colon
y by Edward Revell, whoinherited 500 acres in that area fro
m his father Randall, who witnessedthe grant of Wachawampe
. John Teague shows up in Northampton,Northumberland, and W
estmoreland Counties of Virginia shortly after thistranspor
t was recorded.
Again from the Somerset County Court Archives (Maryland):
"The Same Cort: Commrs as afore The Deposicon of Roger Patr
ick aged 35years or thereabouts taken in Cort ye 10th: nove

Comments: It would appear that the John Teague who arrive
d in Virginiawith Edward Revell (son of Randall) and the (e
lder?) John referred toabove in Somerset Cty, MD are the sa
me person. On the same day's Courtrecords in Somerset Count
y, Maryland, there is an entry of:
David Brown is the Securitie for ye appearance of Randall R
evell nextCounty Cort:Acknowledgeth himselfe to Stand indeb
ted unto the LordPropty:in the Sume of ten pounds of Lawful
l money of England
It has been suggested that Edward Teague was the son of thi
s John Teagueof Maryland, however the above extracts seem t
o disprove this.
As the 6 year old child has "no other relacon in this Count
y", it wouldappear that her father, John Teague, was the Jo
hn Teague Jr referred toin the first extract and that the m
ale family line died out.

A great deal of work is currently being done on the earlies
