1. | Elizabeth McTeer was born Abt 1770, , Cumberland, Pennsylvania; died Bef 21 Sep 1867, , Roane, Tennessee. Notes:
In October 1818 Elizabeth Bailey and John Smith were appointed Administrators
of the Estate of Robert Bailey deceased. On 20 November 1818 the Court issued
a distributions order for Elizabeth Bailey widow, "her family being seven in
number"; she was to have corn, wheat, potatoes, fodder, eight small hogs, wool,
cotton and $30.00 cash. Inventory taken 10 December 1818 included tools,
household furnishings and animals.
Final Disposition of the Bailey land in Roane County is covered in a series of
deeds: on 13 July 1841 Robert C. Bailey of Roane County, for $57 conveyed to
Eliza M. Bailey all of his rights as an heir of Robert Bailey deceased,
specifically an undivided one-sixth interest in 50 acres located near Cave
Spring on the North Tennessee River, "where Robert Bailey's widow now resides";
on 21 September 1867 Ann Smith, formerly Ann Bailey, of the 13th Civil
District, Roane County, for $150 deeded to her sister Eliza M. Houston, formerly
Eliza Bailey, an undivided interest in 50 acres in the 15th Civil District,
"where the said Eliza M. Houston and her husband now reside", adjoining
property of William J. Owings and the Ellis Mill tract; Ann's interest was
originally one-sixth, but is now one-fifth because her brother John Bailey, who
went to Texas and has not been heard from in the last twenty years is now
presumed dead with his share undisposed of; on 27 January 1869 Jane McMillen of
Henderson County, Kentucky, by her Attorney J. B. Smith of Roane County, for
$150 conveyed to "our sister Eliza M. Houston wife of Robert F. Houston", the
undivided interest of the said Margaret Smith in the 50 acres in the 13th Civil
District, the estate of her father Robert Bailey, also as a sister and
heir-at-law of our brother John L. Bailey, "who left the county many years ago,
unmarried, and is supposed to have died."
