Generation: 1

  1. 1.  James McTeer was born Abt 1765; died 28 Sep 1832/1838, Blount County, Tennessee.

    Notes:

    There has been much speculation and considerable Pennsylvania research devoted
    to the parentage of this James McTeer; he was not a "second cousin" as Major
    McTeer proposed, but probably an unrelated immigrant from the Valley of
    Virginia.

    James and Jeanett McTeer lived on Six Mile Creek in Blount County some distance
    southwest of the Ellejoy community, and near the present Montvale Springs. In
    the published tax lists of 1801 Captain James Scott's Company shows two James
    McTeers, one "Senr." who owned 100 acres of land, and the other "Junr." with no
    real estate credit. One of these men was Robert's sone James, who was to
    receive in 1810 from the State of Tennessee a grant of land on Nine Mile Creek
    which described him as "Littel James McTeer". The other was Robert's
    son-in-law, Jeanette's husband, the subject of this biography. But the two
    were so nearly of an age and of such comparable status that without precise
    deeds (not now to be found in Blount County) one cannot safely say which of
    these taxpayers was which.

    In the 1830 census of the Western Division of Blount County, James McTeer aged
    60-70 years had a household including three males aged 20-30, 15-20, 10-15 and
    two females 20-30 and 10-15 years. The approximate deathdate of Jeanette is
    inferred on the basis of this census record. On September 28, 1832 James as
    the surviving husband conveyed Jeanette's one-forth interest in Robert McTeer's
    Chickasaw Land Warrant.

    On 6 August 1838 John Hayes and William McTeer Sr. were appointed
    Administrators of the Estate of James McTeer. Bond Was set at $500. On 23
    December 1839 William McTeer, Ester McTeer, Mary McTeer, James McTeer and
    Robert McTeer receipted for a distribution of $24.75 each. On 26 November 1842
    William McTeer, Esther McTeer, Robert McTeer, James McTeer and Mary McTeer
    received from John Hayes, Administrator of the Estate of James McTeer deceased,
    $4.50 each, being "their partible shares of the personal estate of Andrew
    McTeer deceased, one of the legal heirs of the said James McTeer deceased, who
    left this country, removed to Texas, and there died as is supposed, leaving no
    legal heir."
