| 110 | "Robert Spencer Lee was the great grandson of Mary Gallaher and James McKimmy, born in 1761 and died in 1829. Spencer and his family lived on the southern side of Short Hill, between Leesburg and Harper's Ferry, Virginia. This was the 1st District of Loudon County, Virginia. Harper's Ferry is later in West Virginia. He spent allot of time in the Wetzel County, Virginia, later West Virginia at the booming oil wells that were there. He moved onto running a livery stable on Piney Fork in Virginia and was running it when in the Spring of 1889 he married Ora Gay Clark. In addition to running the livery stable he also had at least thirty teams of his own horses that were kept busy in the oil fields. When it was time to retire from the horse business he became a farmer and decided retirement was not for him. At that point he began owning and operating his own saw mills. Spencer was killed in and automobile accident on October 14th, 1929." Kellie Sue Sapp King | McKimmie, Robert Spencer Lee Sr. (I11862)

| 114 | "Since Landon worked in China for a time, I thought the following story was of interest. ANYONE FOR CHOW? by Paul J. Burns, PJBurns@prodigy.net My great-uncle, Justin Jerome Burns, was an engineer in China in 1902-04, helping to build a railroad fro m Canton to Shanghai. Justin, who was born in Watertown, New York in 1870, wa s one of the 13 children of an Irish immigrant, served in the Spanish-American War, and was the first of our family to receive a college education. Having s urvived the war and the many dangers of China (including an encounter with the Boxers) he returned to the USA only to catch typhoid fever and die in 1905. Some years ago, I borrowed his handwritten diaries from a second cousin and ty ped them out. I found them fascinating, not only for the descriptions of his o wn activities but also for his observations of the life around him. Take his comments on "The Food of the Cantonese," for example. Justin said that the are a around Canton was subtropical and humid. One would expect to encounter snake s and rodents, but these were quite rare. He soon learned that these were much sought-after culinary delicacies, and their numbers were kept down by profess ional catchers. While the rats were either eaten by the country people or drie d to be sold in the city markets, the snakes were captured alive, their lips w ere sewn together, and they wound up in cages in front of restaurants to provi de the arriving customers with the pleasure of selecting their dinner (much as we sometimes do with lobsters). Justin and his fellow foreigners lived on hou se boats attended by Chinese servants. He said the Chinese attendants often brought cute puppies aboard which they called "Chows," similar to the dogs he knew back home as "Esquimaux," but black or reddish-brown. Justin soon learned t hat these were not considered pets but food, and they were eaten when about n ine or ten months old. The engineers sometimes purchased these pups to raise as pets, but they always disappeared, usually in conjunction with a feast giv en by one of the cooks for his friends. Justin also learned that cats were not immune. One day a servant brought a scrawny kitten aboard, which Justin playe d with and soon thought of as his personal pet. One day, however, the cook had several relatives to lunch, and Justin discovered that the kitten had been the "piece de resistance." Later, when he became better acquainted with Canton, he discovered that while some restaurants featured snakes, others featured do gs and cats displayed the same way, caged in front to provide the patrons with a selection. Justin's comments led me to wonder if that is where the word "chow," which is slang for food, came from. When I was in the Marine Corps more than forty years ago, we never called food anything but chow. Did our old Chin a hands bring the term back with them? Is, or was, that the chief ingredient of Chow Mein? Speaking for myself, I prefer not to know the Chinese words for rat, snake, or cat, or there may be nothing left for me to order but fried noodles." | BIER, JAMES LANDON Sr. (I478)

| 116 | "Some researchers list her birthday as February 29th, 1827 but 1827 was not a leap year. It is also fully possible that the information began to circulate due to one person accidentally hitting nine instead of eight. Others have merged her sons Phillip Andrew and Andrew into one son but the evidence at this time seems to indicate they are two distinct individuals." Kellie Sue Sapp King | Sapp, Charlotte (I6426)

| 121 | "The birth of William Shuman. My father Ronald Stuart Sapp always listed the birth date of William Shuman as 1805. Most family trees I see online also list his birth as 1805. I decided to try and calculate a more precise birth date for William based on census records and his tombstone. The results were very interesting. Using all possible information William could have been born as early as September 6th, 1803 and as late as August 4th, 1808. If you look only at the 1860 and 1870 Census records he would have been born between August 4th, 1807 and July 24th, 1808. By combining information from Willliam's Census of 1850 and his tombstone his possible birth date range is June 28th, 1804 and September 6th, 1804. If you look only at the information on his tombstone he would have been born between June 28th, 1804 and June 28th, 1805. Adding the baseline only of 1805 this would take us to his birth occurring between January 1st, 1805 and June 28th, 1805. I went into this in hopes of at least narrowing down his birth to a six to nine-month period. I am leaving this with more questions than I began with. For now, I will be leaving his birth year as 1805 but I felt it was very important to document my findings in hopes that it will help me or another Shuman researcher."

| 130 | "The information directly below I do not have the sources for. I will be reviewing records as time permits. The second part of the information below is a rebuttal to top half. 'Susanna was born in the Colonies, near what is now Dover, Delaware. Her grandfather, Peter Lowber, came from Amsterdam, Holland, in 1684. That was 10 years before her future husband, Benjamin Furbee, was born. There is a house still standing in Magnolia, Delaware, built in 1774 by Matthew Lowber, most likely related to Susanna Lowber Furbee. I have the Historical American Buildings Survey measured drawings of the house built by Matthew. I have been working on a sort of replica in scale 1:12 and have completed a great deal of it. I plan to finish and leave it for my children and grandchildren. Hopefully, they will keep it. There is a lot of work in it, and quite a bit of money, as well, but I doubt if anyone other than family would want it. I also have a list of all owners of the property from the Delaware records. The last I heard, it was in the process of being restored to it's appearance sometime in the 1800's. Peter Lowber, according to the current owner of the Matthew Lowber house, also built a larger home in Frederica, Delaware, in the 1700's. I believe it is older than the Matthew Lowber house. It is reported to have been a house used in the Civil War years as part of the Underground Railroad for escaped slaves. They would be hidden in the cellar until they could move on to the next safe house.' The above information is mostly correct, however, Matthew Lowber, Susanna's Father, died in 1746, long before the Lowber house was built in 1774 by another Matthew Lowber. I used to try to think of the house as having been visited by the Furbees who were in The Revolutionary War. And that would have been possible, but the Mathew who built the house was in a later generation. Susanna had a brother, Michael Lowber, born around 1710, who could have been the builder, or it might have been HIS son. This is all guess on my part. I need to do more Lowber research. (In view of later information, the builder MIGHT have been Michael Lowber. The initials in brick on the ends of the house are L over ML over 1774.) March, 2000.'"

Blount became a county on July 11th, 1795, when Knox and Jefferson counties were split up in order to from it. That is why Robert is listed as being born in Knox or Jefferson County.

| 136 | "This famous surname is popular in all the counties of the British Isles. It is however arguably French, and as such derives from the personal name "Maurice", itself from the Latin word "maurus" meaning moorish, or dark and swarthy. Introduced into Britain by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066, the name was first recorded in England in 1176 when Mauricius de Edligtona appears in the documents of the Danelaw, for the city of London. The surname dates back to the end of the12th century (see below), and further recordings include: John Morice (1275) in the Hundred Rolls of Buckinghamshire; Simon Morys (1296) in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex; and Robert Morisse (1308) in the Chartulary of the Priory of St. Thomas, the Martyr, near Stafford, Staffordshire. Early London church registers include exasmples such as the christening of William Morris, the son of John Morris, on August 15th 1563, at St. Andrews Undershaft, and the christening of Sara, the daughter of Robart Morris, on June 21st 1590, at St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate. Davie Morris, aged 18 years, was an early emigrant to the New World. He embarked from London on the ship "Truelove" bound for the Bermudas, in June 1635. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Jasce Mauricii. This was dated 1191, in the Pipe Rolls of the city of London, during the reign of King Richard 1st, known as "The Lionheart", 1189 - 1199. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling."

| 139 | "Timeline of Christopher Calvert: Birth: Early 1600s: Christopher Calvert, Sr. is born in Easton, Yorkshire, England. His parents are unknown. DNA testing has proven his parents are not Leonard Calvert and Alicia Grace (Crossland) Calvert. Christopher would have been the first in this line of my ancestry to have access to the King James Bible (1611), as they came out around the same time. Viewing all times where Christopher stated his age leaves us with many years in which he could be born. I do believe he was born in the winter as December seems to be the month that would be most likely when walking the dates back. (S39, S77, S78, S80, S82, S83, S97, S114, S116, S117, S120, S136, S138, S220, S248, S295) Birth: 1626: Future wife of Christopher, Elinor S. Stevens is born in Accomack, Virginia, United States. Her parents are also unknown. (S77, S97, S117, S220, S248, S295) Boundary Change: 1634: Accomac Shire made in Virginia Colony as one of the eight original shires. It was named by the House of Burgesses for the Accawmack Native Indians who lived there. Immigration: Bet 1635 and 1636: Christopher made the journey from England to her colony Virginia, to make a new home. (S97, S116, S117, S138) Residence: Cal Bet 01 Jan 1636 and 23 Jun 1636. Christopher lived in Accomack County, Virginia Colony, British Colonial America. We know he lived there before 24 Jun 1636 because that date is when William Bibby was granted land for transporting people that included Christopher. The area he lived in was called Accomac at the time but later was divided into Northampton and Accomac. Oddly, Northampton is what used to be southern Accomac. Christopher was in the portion that remained Accomac. (S116, S117, S138) Headright: 24 Jun 1636: William Bibby receives 400 acres of land for the transport of his family, in addition to Ann Gedon, Archibald Richard, Christopher Calvert, Sr., John Fitz Garrall, John Leach, and William Stevens to Accomack County, Virginia Colony. The land granted was King's Creek in the same County. (S120, S138) Witnessed Sale: 13 Feb 1637: Philip Dodsworth made a sale of two black cows in Northampton County, Virginia Colony. Christopher witnessed the sale by mark. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Court Appearance: 25 Sep 1637: Under oath Christopher swore that the Will and Testament of deceased William Bibby, in the courts possession, was the true will. This is the same William who was awarded land for transporting Christopher and others to Accomack County, Virginia Colony. (S97, S116, S117, S120) Court Deposition: 25 Sep 1637: The same day Christopher swore that William Cosier, servant of William Bibby, was promised freedom after the house of William Bibby was repaired by William Cosier. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Boundary Change: 1642: British attempt to eliminate the names they considered heathen in the New World. Accomac becomes anglicized into Northampton. Marriage:29 Oct 1646: Christopher Caldwell, Sr. and Elinor S. Stevens are married in Accomac County, Virginia Colony. (S77, S78, S120, S220, S248, S295) Residence: 1651: Christopher was living State VA; County Virginia Colony; Township Virginia East Shore. (S139) Oath to England: 30 Mar 1651 Several people took an oath of allegiance to the Commonwealth of England to "hereby engage and promise to be true and faithful to the Commonwealth of England as it is now established without King or House of Lords.". Among them are Christopher Calvert, Sr. and Samuel Calvert. It is unknown what if any familial relationship there is between these two Calverts. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Child Born: 1652: Christopher's son, Christopher Calvert, Jr. is born. (S220, S248, S295) Land Purchase: 20 Oct 1652: For the Transportation of John White, Elizabeth Percivall, John Percivall, and Rose McCloyden Christopher receive 200 Acres. (S120) Child Born: 1654: Christopher's second son, Charles Calvert is born. (S220, S248, S295) Land Patented: 02 Oct 1655:?Having transported sixteen people into the County of Northampton, Christopher was awarded an 800-acre land grant. The neck of the land was on the southern side of the primary southern branch of Anancock. To the west, there is a branch that parts it from the lands belonging to John Jenkins. To the east, there is another branch that parts off from the lands belonging to William Mellings. This land is a tract A71 and is now present-day Onancock City, Accomack County, Virginia, at South Branch Onancock Creek. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Child Born: 1656: Christopher's first and only daughter, Mary Calvert is born. (S78, S220, S248, S295) Deed of Gift: 20 Nov 1657: Christopher Calvert, Sr. gives his three children, Christopher Jr., Charles, and Mary gifts "out of love & affection I bear unto my children". He gave them all land, cattle, and furniture. Charles and Mary each received 400 acres, dividing the tract A71 in Anancock equally between them. (S120) Child Born: 1660: Christopher's third son John Calvert is born. (S220, S248, S295) Grant Assigned: 03 Nov 1660: Christopher officially assigned the grant of 400 acres to his children Charles and Mary. This is the same land noted above in Deed of Gift: 20 Nov 1657 and Land Patented: 02 Oct 1655. (S80, S97, S116, S117, S138) An Anecdote: 04 Sep 1661: Christopher's son John is gifted and Ewe lamb by his Godfather Anthony Hodgkins. (S120) Age Stated: Oct 1661: Christopher (Xpher Calvert) appeared in Court and stated to the Court that he was 50 years of age. That would place his birth between 02 Oct 1610 and 30 Oct 1611. Land Purchase: 20 Oct 1661: Christopher purchased 700 acres of land in Northampton County, on Pungotege Creek, Tract A32. The land was purchased from Thomas Teakle who had purchased it from Sampson Robins. It was located between the lands of Dr. George Hack and the lands of Reverend Thomas Teackle. The town of Harborton, Virginia is the present location and is about ten to fifteen miles away from land tract A71 where Christopher's children Charles and Mary had been given land. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Court Action: 29 Oct 1661: Goslin Van Nitson, a dutch citizen, was hired by Robert Parker to attend his ill mare. Robert Parker agreed to pay 600 pounds of tobacco to Goslin Van Nitson. The mare died soon after Goslin Van Nitson had been hired. Christopher Calvert's servant Teague accused Goslin Van Nitson of being responsible for the death of the mare. There immediately was an exchange of heated words and a duel ensued. Christopher's servant Teague was shot, but not killed. Dr. George Hack was called in to take care of Christopher's servant Teague. The matter to be determined by the court was who was ultimately responsible, of all the parties mentioned before, for paying Dr. George Hacks medical bill in the care of Teague. (S82, S83, S120, S138) Age Stated: 27 Jan 1662: In a court deposition Christopher Calvert, Sr. states his age as 50 "or thereabouts". That would place his birth between 28 Jan 1611 and 27 Jan 1612. (S138) Court Ruling: 24 Apr 1662: The Judge from the case brought forth on 29 Oct 1661 is resolved. Both Goslin Van Nitson and Christopher Calvert, Sr are ordered to evenly pay the medical bill owed to Dr. George Hack. The bill was due to medical services rendered after the dual. (S138) Boundary Change: 1663: The shire is split horizontally. The north is reverted to Accomac, the south stays Northampton. Tax Lists: From 1663 to 1681: Christopher appears on the tax lists of the Accomack County tithables from 1663 through 1671 and may also be present until 1681. Listing with Xopher and Xpher are shown to have tithed up to three times. (S97, S116, S117, S120) Age Stated: Dec 1663: Christopher (Xpher Calvert) appeared again in court and stated that he was 48 years old "or thereabouts". This would place him being born between 2 Dec 1614 and 30 Dec 1615. (S120, S138) Child Born: 1665. Christopher's son George Calvert is born. George may have been a surprise to Christopher and Elinor. Taking Christopher's word for his own age(s) as supplied in court puts him becoming a father in his early fifties. (S220, S248, S295) Muster Call: 18 Dec 1665: There was a muster duty called by the Accomack County Militia, that Christopher missed. (S120, S138) Legal Action: 18 Dec 1665: Not only had Christopher missed muster duty call, on that same day he and several of his friends were arrested under the charges of drunken and disorderly. He was fined fifty pounds of tobacco and had to cover the court fees. Some other Calvert family historians believe the cause for the drunkenness was that Christopher and his friends were celebrating the birth of Christopher's son, George Calvert. I agree that this is possible but I believe it is more probable that he was celebrating his own birthday if not both birthdays. (S117, S120, S138) Age Stated: 16 DEC 1663: In a court deposition Christopher Calvert, Sr. states his age as 48 "or thereabouts". That would place his birth between 17 Dec 1614 and 16 Dec 1615. (S138) Age Stated: 26 Aug 1667: In a court deposition Christopher Calvert, Sr. states his age as "about" 50 years old. That would place his birth between 27 Aug 1616 and 26 Aug 1617. (S138) Court Action: 13 Feb 1668: Christopher appointed William Melling of Northampton County, Virginia, to file suit against John Dikes. Christopher was accusing John Dikes of failure to pay 1500 pounds of "tobacco & caske" owed to him in exchange for the one year of service his son Christopher Calvert, Jr. had done for John Dikes. The record was marked with signature X for Christopher. (S97, S116, S117, S138) Court Victory: 01 Mar 1668: Christopher won the judgment of the court in the case against John Dikes. John Dikes was found not only responsible for the 1500 pounds of "tobacco & caske" but for all other associated costs. (S97, S116, S117, S138) Land Sold: 30 Nov 1668: Christopher and his wife Elinor (X) sold 200 acres of land. The land sold was a portion of the land that Christopher received on 20 Oct 1652 for the transportation of sixteen people. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Land Deed: 07 Dec 1668: Christopher's wife Elinor signed the land deed, with the letter L, for the land sold on 30 Nov 1668. (S97, S116, S117, S120, S138) Grandchild: 1673: Christopher's daughter Mary (Calvert) Sipple gives birth to son William Waitman Sipple. (S220, S248, S295) Child Married: 16 Jan 1674: Christopher's only daughter Mary married Garrett Sipple in Accomack County, Virginia Colony. (S220, S248, S295) Grandchild: 1677: Christopher's daughter Mary (Calvert) Sipple gives birth to Garret Sipple Jr., names for his father. (S220, S295) Land Sold: 1679: Christopher and his son Charles Calvert sell 200 acres of land to Charles Scarburgh. The land sold is now the town of Onancock, Virginia. (S97, S116, S117) Court Testimony: March 1679: Christopher's wife and daughter testify regarding the dead body of the illegitimate child of Mary Carter, daughter Sarah Carter. They signed the statement as Mary (X) Sipple and Elener S. Calvert. (S116) Son Apprenticed: 20 Oct 1680: Christopher agrees to allow his son George, now fifteen, to be apprenticed as a Boatright. His apprenticeship was to Thomas Hook to learn how to build boats, shallops, or houses. (S120, S138) Age Stated: 16 May 1681: In a court deposition Christopher Calvert, Sr. states his age as "about 80 or thereabouts". That would place his birth between 17 May 1599 and 16 May 1600. (S138) Deed of Gift: 17 Jun 1682: Christopher gave a deed of gift witnessed by George Porter and Will Stevens. He deeded his above-mentioned grandsons a cow. It listed their surname a Seple, instead of Sipple. (S97, S117, S138) Death: 1682: In Accomack County Christopher Calvert, Sr. passes away. I am not sure if he was a widower at the time of his passing or if his wife was still alive. (S77, S120, S136, S220, S248, S295) Estate: 1683: Woodman Stockley purchases the home Christopher Calvert, Sr. had resided at the year prior." (S120) Boundary Change: 1670: Accomac is abolished entirely by Virginia Colony's Royal Governor William Berkeley. Boundary Change: 1671: The Virginia General Assembly recreates Accomac Shire. Boundary Change: 1776: Virginia is no longer a Colony in British Colonial America but is a Commonwealth in the United States. Boundary Change: 1940: The letter "k" is officially added at the end of Accomac, making it Accomack County. The name now more closely reflects the Native Heritage of the land.

| 143 | "We have stories of the demise of Reuben Williamson but I believe this to be the most comprehensive. In his words ... 'After the Battle of Chattanooga was won by the Union under General Grant, Grant sent Sherman to relieve the siege of Knoxville by Confederate General Longstreet. Sherman only drove Longstreet's army to the Strawberry Plains and no further. In Grants memoirs he states that he was about to drive Longstreet out of east Tennessee but decided not to because Longstreet was seen as not causing much havoc while he was there. This in the winter of 1863-64. Longstreet had to live off the land by sending out foraging parties. It was one of these foraging parties that killed Reuben, my great-great grandfather, as he climbed out of a window in his house. Charles Williamson' I greatly appreciate the background information provided by Charles Williamson that led up to the death." Kellie Sue (Sapp) Sapp King | Williamson, Reuben (I34500)

| 149 | 'James McTeer came from County Down Ireland with a wife and a number of children, the voyage was made in the old sailing vessel, requiring a great length of time. An epidemic broke out on board the ship. He saw one child, then another, and at last his wife's body lowered into the watery grave. His grief was such that the convulsions caused such upheavals of the breast, that the buttons were torn from his silk satin vest.' Sometime about 1730 James McTeer left Northern Ireland with a wife and family. On shipboard his children fell ill and died one by one, then his wife succumbed also; so the grief-stricken young man arrived alone in Pennsylvania. This same traditional has been handed down from generation to generation in both Tennessee and Ohio. Though the story is essentially the same in both branches, the number, sex, and names of the children vary, and no one has presumed to suggest a name or identity for this first wife. On 16 Jan. 1746/1747 James McTeer took out a tract of land in East Pennsboro Twp., Lancaster Co., 304 acres 120 perches on Warrant #117; on 8 Nov. 1760 he took out two additional adjoining tracts containing 72.5 and 37.5 acres, which additions were described in the survey as 'but thin and ordinary land.' At the time of the first survey on 10 Nov 1760, the land was in East Pennsboro Twp., Cumberland Co. and the abutting property owners were Anthony McCue, James McMeen, Peter Leester and Rowlan Chambers. On 13 May 1767 James took out still another 70 acres southeast of the preceding tract and abutting on Yellow Breaches Creek; this land was not surveyed until much later, but is mentioned in James' will as 'warrant land.' This homestead was successively in East Pennsboro Twp., Lancaster Co., until the formation of Cumberland County in 1750; then in East Pennsboro Twp., Cumberland Co., until 1766, when Allen Township was formed. When Allen Township was divided in 1850 the McTeer land fell in Lower Allen, 'on the road from Lisburn to Silver Spring Meeting House.' In relatively modern terms the location is between St. Johns Road on the east, Slate Hill on the south, the Upper-Lower Allen Township line on the west, and another range of hills on the north. Identification of exact landmarks within the area has been singularly complicated because the property is now traversed by the Lisburn Road, the Reading Railroad, The Pennsylvania Turnpike, as well as by other local roads coming from New Cumberland on the east and proceeding southward to Fairview Twp., York Co. across Yellow Breaches Creek. Soon after completing his title to the property with a patent dated 11 Nov. 1760, James McTeer built a store house near a large flowing spring, probably at about the point where Lisburn Road crosses Cedar Run. A Cumberland Co. map of the 1860s shows at that time seven houses on what had been the original McTeer grant; owners along the southern border were C. Musselman and John Strong, who had two Dwellings, one at the junction where Lisburn Road came in from the south; then on Lisburn Road going north again after the jog, James Dunlap had two houses; David Hurst was still further north but somewhat west of the roadway; at last an unidentified building was located east against the hill. Records of the Pennsylvania Direct Tax of 1798 for Allen Twp., Cumberland Co., list James McTeer's original house then owned and occupied by his son Samuel McTeer, as a stone dwelling, 16 by 22 feet, one story with four windows containing 48 lights (panes of glass); the accompanying kitchen was shown as an outbuilding 16 by 12 feet with two windows containing 12 lights; and the whole property including two acres of land was valued at $600. When Major Will A. McTeer of Maryville, Tenn., visited the locality a century later this house was still standing and still owned by a McTeer descendant, Mrs. Ellen Saxton. The Major wrote his impressions in a letter from Mechanicsburg, dated 30 July 1898; 'We got here last night. A beautiful town of five thousand inhabitants, nestled down in the richest and loveliest little valley I have ever seen. I am just now back from a visit to the old homestead of my great, great grandfather, four miles out. The main part of the old stone house is still standing but very old and dilapidated. The old farm is of the very best. A barn as big as Texas ... filled ... with oats by the six horse load. I drank from the old spring that slaked the thirst of my ancestors.' But only a few weeks after this encounter the old place was torn down; so a neighboring farmer could use the stones for the foundation of a milk station. In Mrs. Saxton's words, 'It was hard for me to make up my mind to it but thought it best to lay sentiment aside as it was getting unsightly and useless and possibly dangerous.' During the French and Indian War James McTeer was a captain in the local militia. He and his lieutenant John Anderson, both of East Pennsboro Twp. were commissioned in 1747-1748 in the Associated Regiment of Lancaster Co. Over the River Susquehanna. By the time of the American Revolution he was well past 70 years and so was not included in any of the militia lists of that time; nor is there any evidence of his providing other specific assistance to the cause of Independance. Yet, since his five sons and three sons-in-law all served with the Pennsylvania troops at various times during the war there can be no doubt where his sympathies were in that conflict. Out of his 400 acres James McTeer provided a farm for each of his four sons who remained in Allen Township. On 8 Dec 1770 'for love and affection' he deeded 100 acres to his son John; on 21 Dec. 1770 he made a similar conveyance to his son William; and by his will he also gave land to sons James and Samuel. Son Robert moved to Fermanaugh Twp., Cumberland Co., soon after his marriage and had already gone on to Tennessee before his father's death. Since he received in the will only a token legacy, it is clear that Robert had in some way received his share at an earlier date, but the nature of that inheritance is now past recovery. The will of James McTeer Sr. of Allen Twp., Cumberland Co., written 2 Aug. 1764, probated 16 March 1785, bequeathed to son James. 'the land he now liveth on as it is divided by John Creigh', one half 'the warranted land adjoining to be divided according to quantity and quality', also 'the meadow that is fenced off for his use'; to daughter Elizabeth Boyd, five shillings; to son Robert McTeer, five shillings; to daughter Alce Caruthers, five shillings; to sons William and John, five shillings each; to daughter Sarah Pauly, five shillings; to granddaughter Elizabeth, daughter of son James, 'my chest of drawers'; to son James, 'my table'. Any remainder after payment of the legacies and expenses from the sale of personal property to be divided between sons James and Samuel McTeer. They to be Executors. Witnesses: Hugh Laird, John Worden. An untotalled inventory of the 'Goods and Cattels of James McTeer Sen deceased', made on 26 Feb. 1785 by Hugh Laird and William McMEan, includes only personal property; one horse at 17 pounds; a red cow with a white face at 4 pounds; seven pewter plates at 14 shillings; a case of drawers willed to granddaughter Elizabeth 3 pounds 15 shillings; a table willed to son James, 15 shillings; other furniture, table, chair, dough chest, walnut chest and bedstead totaling 1 pound 2 shillings 6 pennies; two featherbeds, pillows, coverlets and blankets, 15 pounds 5 shillings and 2 pennies total; wearing apparel, 2 pounds 10 shillings; old books, 1 pound 1 shilling 6 pennies; a few tools, flax hackle, pruning chisel and draw knife, 7 shillings 6 pennies; pot rack, tongs, fire shovel, two basins, spice box and frying pan, 16 shillings; a buckskin, 10 shillings; 'a pair of specks and tobacco box', 2 shillings 6 pennies.
