"Teague" to be more americanized....He did this in 1714....
Edward Tegg?s name was transcribed in the records in 1675 a
s Teage, in
1695 as Tegg, and was corrected by his son William Teague i
n 1714,
even though William was unable to sign his own name, but i
t is evident
he knew how to spell it.
Upon Edward death, William did inherit the plantation calle
d " Teagues
