• Notes

  James C. McTeer was a blacksmith at Morganton, Tennessee. Morganton, a part of Blount County until 1879, but now an abandoned location in Loudon County, Tennessee, once supported a thriving economy based on the transfer of goods between boats on the Little Tennessee River and wagons on Morganton Road leading north to Maryville and Kingston, Tennessee. On 7 February 1848 William Kerr conveyed to James C. McTeer, both of Blount County, for $40, a half-acre lot (#11) in Morganton; the next year on 18 July 1849 James C. bought at a tax sale the lot in Morganton where his blacksmith shop was located; and on 5 February 1850 he bought still another lot in Morganton for a house. In the 1850 census, 3rd Civil District, Blount County, James was described as a blacksmith aged 30, wife Mary aged 25, children Elizabeth aged 7 and Calvin aged 3. ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 83, 116.
