Edward Teague

RootsWeb’s WorldConnect Project: Kin & ancestors, with some unrelated parents of spouses & other lines who weave in and out of our families.

# ID: I4707
# Name: Moses TEAGUE
# Sex: M
# Change Date: 22 DEC 2008
# Birth: ABT 1776 in Chatham Co, NC
# Note:

From Rick Reid: [Rick Reid has a possible date of birth as 1771-1774, d 1843] ‘The date that is included for Moses Teague’s birth is an estimate based on the information about the earlier relatives. If he were born later it would be an oddity considering the mother’s age. This, of course assumes that the mother’s vital stats are correct. He has been reported to have fought in the War of 1812 in the ‘Battle of New Orleans’. Moses Teague Sr. and Jr. served in the War of 1812 in the 6th Regiment, 4th Company under Capt. Moses Welborn in the Rowan detachment. Based on this the birth date may be a little off. While viewing the LDS records, I came across some interesting information about the Teague’s of the Barrett’s Mountain area. First, there were 10 children born to Moses Teague, three of the children married Mundays, and three others married Prices. All of these families are from the Mountain area in Alexander County, North Carolina. There is a reference to a Moses Teague and an Edward Teague that were involved in land transactions in Orange County, VA in the late 1700s, I need to check this and and figure where this info fits in. From Richard Dale Reid, Feb. 1998, updated 6/99. Update 11/2001: Moses is listed as a Witness to his son, Elijah at his wedding to Margy Munday. This is where we get ‘after 1828′ as his death info. According to info supplied by George K. Price, Moses Teague built his farm on part of the property that belonged to his father. He and his wife raised all of their children there. Later the farm was owned by Jonas White.’
David Cherry had possible birthdate circa 1777.

Honeycutts and Thompsons – North Carolina/Virginia

Just a quick post — did add a few more Honeycutt-Thompson ancestors. Still not sure how they connect to other sin my family tree data. The locations and migration patterns are the same, so there is coudn to be a connection somewhere/some-when. Just have to keep adding pieces to the “family tree puzzle”.

For now, I am exhausted, it’s raining, and Dave has been asleep probably about an hour.

This means I’ll crash on the couch — which should help the pounding from sinus pain to ease, also. Hopefully with the rain/front passing the “ice pick” in my eyes will cease, and I can get some decent rest tonight. Monday, I woke up with a headache.

Until later, keep dry, and warm thoughts for weather later this week.

DNA Testing and Genealogy

Genealogy by DNA: Can it Deliver?

Appealing to one of mankind’s most basic needs, that of belonging to a kinship group related by blood, Genealogy became one of the most popular hobbies and pursuits in the latter part of the 20th Century. Once considered the exclusive domain of lovable but somewhat dotty great aunts, Genealogy emerged as a fun and absorbing hobby cutting across age and gender. For some the hobby became an avocation, for many an obsession. In the mid seventies, Alec Haley’s Pulitzer Price-winning book, Roots , was a best seller and the television series was viewed by 130 million. Suddenly, almost everyone wanted to know more about their “roots” or family background. No longer living in extended families comprising many generations, in the small town their ancestors had lived in for generations, Americans had become rootless. The picture perfect fifties concept of Mom, Dad, three children and a dog had soured in the 1960’s as social unrest became the norm. Something was lacking and people wanted it back. By the late 80’s Genealogy had advanced far beyond anything that had existed before. Electronic Bulletin Boards, an early forerunner of the Internet and Genealogy Newsletters exchanged by regular mail were bringing families together. Often these were families whose last two or three generations hadn’t even known each other. It only remained for the Internet to become available to the majority of Americans for Genealogy to literally explode as far flung relatives became able to exchange documents and pictures instantly. Mailing lists for persons with similar interests were organized. Rootsweb, started as a volunteer effort depending on donations, was later sold to Ancestry.com, one of the earliest success stories. The stage was now set for the exciting new tool of DNA testing to enter the scene.

Lost Colony – Blog

Searching for the Lost Colony DNA Blog

Product Description
In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh sent 116 men, women and children to Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They were to plant the first English colony in the New World. By 1590, they had disappeared. The colony was lost, and it remains America’s oldest unsolved mystery.

Carl Bowden, a university professor, has discovered a document that may prove an intriguing new theory of what may have happened to the colonists. He made one phone call to a trusted colleague. Three hours later he was found murdered under the rotunda of the university library. Someone does not want the mystery of the Lost Colony to be solved and is willing to kill to protect the secret.

Early ‘Yard Sale’ Day

Dave and I, got out fairly early this morning, made a circuit of local yard sales; and found a few very useful items. Great, sunny weather; but not many items for sale at most of the places – even so, the truck had a quite few things carefully wrapped on back, when got home.

May have photos of some them, soon. Just don’t know which will be used and which will be part of our “sale” items.

Yesterday was a good day for yard sales – found a really good deal on 15 skillets. Dave will be cleaning, oiling and seasoning them this afternoon.

I will write more  as I can. Right now, am a bit groggy from eating lunch; and trying to shake off a headache — the large glass of soda when we got home helped the head; but I still took an ibuprofen capsule after eating. So, the “buzzing” in my head should ease soon.

If you don’t mind post a comment — I would love to hear from you!

How has your Saturday been?

Thank you, for visiting.

New Blog: “Cherokee Cousins”

Cherokee Cousins

I have thought long and hard about whether I should begin another blog related to my family tree research.

 

After months of trying to place bits of Native American genealogy data in my other WordPress blogs, I decided the time was right to begin this one. I and many of the people I know who have grown up in the south eastern US have family ‘oral traditions’ which say one or more of our ancestors were Native Americans who “remained behind” despite the massive Indian removal during the 1850’s.(…)

Computer Crash – “FOR SALE” Items – NEWS!!!

November 5, 2009

Due to the recent ‘crash’ of my internal hard-drive, I have had to re-organize my personal computer files; rebuild my gallery of images, and hopefully have the computer fixed.

So, after all this excitement — I am also tweaking how I post the items I have “FOR SALE”.

NEW LOCATION/BETTER LISTINGS:

From now on, each item will have it’s own ‘post’ with information/cost,

and how much individual shipping will be.

To cut down on the confusion, I am also moving “FOR SALE” items to this blog:

http://addictedtostring.wordpress.com

—

This also means that each item’s photo will have to be cropped, re-sized, and uploaded once again – so it could take a while to re-post previous listings.

Please be patient, if you see an item on this site you are interested in — email me at:

weavercat@gmail.com

Thank you!

Genealogy perspective, ancestor’s influence

RootsWeb’s WorldConnect Project: Bruce Cooley Pusch

WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF OUR EARLIEST ANCESTORS ON US TODAY?

 

One thing that’s important to keep in mind when going back down a family tree is that each generation doubles the number of your ancestors.

What you are dealing here with are exponential numbers.

As you double the number of grandparents with each generation, you quickly see how fast the numbers are getting very large:

For example, when you get to the 64th generation, with my ancestors like Odin Woden or Woutan of Saxony King of Scandinavia born in 215 and Clodomir IV King of the Franks born in 251 you have had 9,230,372,036,854,775,808 grandparents at the various generational levels between each of them and me.

This number spelled out is: 9 quintillion, 223 quadrillion, 372 trillion, 36 billion, 854 million, 775 thousand, 8 hundred and 8.

Just to give you an idea of how big this number is:

If you had 9,23,372,036,854,775,808 grains of rice, it would be enough rice to cover all of India knee deep.

If you had that many pennies, those pennies would fill about 4,800,000 Empire State buildings.

You can see that there would probably be little bloodline influence on what any of us might be like today because of our relationship to any one ancestor that lived that far back in time. It’s difficult to imagine that any talents or faults that existed in one ancestor living far back in time could, so diluted, could influence us in any meaningful way today.

In other words, I don’t think I share many attributes with my distant ancestors Odin Woden or Woutan of Saxony King of Scandinavia born in 215 and Clodomir IV King of the Franks born in 251.

If you go back many generations more than the 64 discussed above, the numbers of our ancestors approach the numbers of stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach.

Another view of these huge numbers of ancestors, is that some research would probably show the total number of people who ever lived is probably less than a trillion,

If that is so, the answer to this dilemma is that everybody’s tree eventually stops forking at various places (i.e., at some point, cousins married cousins, thus reducing the number of potential grandparents).

I myself am descended from two Cooley siblings

Nevertheless, no matter the exact huge number of our ancestors, a million, a trillion or a quintillion, it’s interesting to explore back through time, discover these ancestors, think about them and learn history through them.

For example, a, to me, very interesting ancestor from my own ancestral searches, is Queen Medb

According to the “Cooley Genealogy”, “One of the earliest references to the name Cooley is spelled Cualnge and appears in the 7th century when the great Celtic epic, “Tain Bo Cualnge, or “The Cattle Raid of Cooley” (County Louth) was first committed to writing. The name Cualnge may, of course, have been a place-name, not a patronymic, but many family names are derived from place names. This great epic is described as the chief and lengthiest romance of the Ulster cycle of literature, and has to do with heroes who Irish annalists and synchronists agree in placing about the beginning of the Christian era. During this primitive Celtic civilization no native coins were in circulation. The land in a pastoral country belonged to the tribe. A man’s property consisted of cattle and cattle-raids were frequent. Hence the greatest Irish epic is of a cattle-raid, the object being for Queen Medb to gain possession of an extraordinary animal known as the Brown Bull of Cualnge.”

Happy All Hallow’s Eve!

Happy Halloween!

Scary movies? Costumes?

We went to the Heritage Day fall festival in Lineville, Alabama today – dressed in head-gear and plaid shirts inkle-woven sashes, and jeans — so I guess we ‘dressed’ the part for Halloween.

The scary movie bit…may end up watching something out of the ordinary later tonight. Bought several DVDs from a vendor at [Bill's] Poor Man’s Trade Day this week. They were priced $1.00 each — found five that looked promising. 3-1/2 still need to be viewed. Stopped one last night at bedtime; was called “Trade”. Kevin Klein stars/co-stars in it.

Then again, I may just round up “Beetlejuice” or “Sleepy Hollow” — or even “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”.

We don’t expect any trick-or-treaters out in our neck of the woods; so we can read a book, watch a movie; and even dance naked if we so choose…but it is too cool outside for the last item [for me anyway].

However you spend your Halloween — enjoy it! It is a time for remembering ‘dearly departed’ and loved ones; and nothing to fear.
