2 CONT "Wallace Joshua Teague (ALEXANDER) 
2 CONT (c1822-1871)  He was born Wallace Alexander: changed his and his children's surname to his st
2 CONC ep-father's name: TEAGUE.  Wallace's father was abusive and brutal, while his step-father wa
2 CONC s more of a father than his natural father.  It has been said : "Martha DEAN married Wallac
2 CONC e Alexander and had children: William Marion, James Albert, and Jackson".  Wallace changed hi
2 CONC s name to Wallace Teague. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Born c1822, SC; died after Oct 1871, TN.  Married 1st Martha Dean, who was born c1825, SC an

2 CONC , Jr; daughter of David and Elizabeth (   ) DICKSON.   It is thought that perhaps the step-fa
2 CONC ther's name was Joshua TEAGUE."
2 CONT 
2 CONT Another family story was that there were 2 brothers named Jack and Bill ALEXANDER.  The ALEXA
2 CONC NDER man and wife died, when these boys were young.  They had no other relatives and were tak
2 CONC en in and raised by a family by the name of TEAGUE. (These would be Wallace's oldest boys.)
2 CONT 
2 CONT From William H. Teague, son of James A. Alexander (or Teague). He said James had two brother
2 CONC s (no names). Their mother married a TEAGUE after ALEXANDER died and they moved from Spartenb
2 CONC urg to Greeneville, Greene, Tennessee. The boys became known as "the Teague boys." James an
2 CONC d his two brothers decided to keep and use the name of TEAGUE because the oldest brother sai
2 CONC d the Teague man had been better to them than their father. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT My family information is that he was called "Joshua" or "Joshaway" TEAGUE, but court record
2 CONC s list his given name as Wallace "TEAGUE". (Sherry S. Finchum)  He possibly had a brother Jos
2 CONC hua who was killed in the Civil War.  This Joshua Tessaway TEAGUE was married to a Sopia DICK
2 CONC SON, sister to Rebecca!
2 CONT 
2 CONT The name is recorded in Belle INGLE SUFFRIDGE's records as: TIGUE.
2 CONT 
2 CONT He is found first in 1858 in Greene Co, TN with a marriage to Rebekah Cutshall, who was the w

2 CONT Joshua Teague was born in Cecil County, Md. about the year 1732, a son of William Teague an
2 CONC d his wife Isabella, and a grandson of Edward Teague and his wife Susan.
2 CONT 
2 CONT He moved with his family to Frederick County, VA in 1737-38 and on to North Carolina in 1751
2 CONC , settling on a grant of land obtained from the Earl of Granville on May 1, 1759.  This lan
2 CONC d was situated on Abbots Creek in Rowan County.  On March 4, 1762 he purchased 430 acres of l
2 CONC and on Abbotts Creek from his brother Moses Teague.  In July, 1762 he purchased 430 acres o
2 CONC f land on Abbotts Creek from his brother Moses Teague.  In July, 1762 he took Title to 310 ac
2 CONC res of land on the Cataba River that was given to him by his father and sold this land to Geo
2 CONC rge Clayton on April 10, 1764.  On Sept. 15, 1765, he and his wife Dorothy sold 120 acres o
2 CONC f the Abbotts 
2 CONT Creek property to Felix Metsinger, and on April 13, 1770 they sold the 310 acres on Abbotts C

2 CONT 
2 CONT Joshua Teague must have been quite involved in the "Regulator Movement" in North Carolina, a
2 CONC s evidenced in the Proclamation dated June 11, 1771, which reads as follows:  (From the Colon
2 CONC ial Records of North Carolina - Vol. 8)  A PROCLAMATION: Whereas I have been informed that ma
2 CONC ny persons who have been concerned in the late Rebellion are desirous of submitting themselve
2 CONC s to the Government, I do therefore give notice that every person who will come in either t

2 CONT 
2 CONT It will be noted from the contents of this Proclamation, that the so-called "outlaws," with t
2 CONC he exception of Joshua Teague and 15 others, were to be given until the 1st of July, 1771 t
2 CONC o submit "to the law of this Country," however on June 19, 1771, on a shady knoll just east o
2 CONC f the historic town of Hillsborough, NC, six men called "Regulators" were executed.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Today a bronze plaque commemmorates this small plot of ground with this inscription:
2 CONT On this spot were hanged By order of a Tory Court June 19, 1771, Merrill, Messer, Matter, Pug
2 CONC h and two other Regulators.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Joshua Teague was not an "outlaw" within the meaning of Governor Tryon's Proclamation.  Inste
2 CONC ad, he was a Revolutionary War Patriot who almost gave his life to the cause of American Inde
2 CONC pendence.  He has forseen the coming of the above events and found it necessary to seek the s
2 CONC afety of new territory to the south.  Accordingly he moved into South Carolina several month
2 CONC s prior to the above executions and purhased two hundred acres of land in Craven County, SC o
2 CONC n Jan 29, 1771, situated on the Bush River.  On Dec 11, 1773 he purchased three hundred acre
2 CONC s on the Little River in the same county.  On July 10, 1791, he purchased 250 acres on Bush C
2 CONC reek in Laurens County SC and it was on this land that he died, leaving a will dated May 12
2 CONC , 1804, naming ten of his children.  This will was proven May 2, 1808, which means that he mu

2 CONT Here is more from the book "Pioneer Settlers of Alexander County, N.C." published in 1953, tr
2 CONC anscribed  by Kevin Price  (own notes are indicated with **):
2 CONT      "Edward Teague, along with many others of his fellow settlers, had in 1768 signed a peti
2 CONC tion to Governor Tryon asking for redress of certain grievances, which led to the Regulator
2 CONC s Rebellion in 1771. After the Battle of Alamance many were dissatisified with conditions.  A
2 CONC pparently he, with others, chose to move westward across the line of division drawn by Govern
2 CONC or Tryon running north and south just west of Statesville, preferring to live with the Indian
2 CONC s rather than under the rule of British Governors."  William Teague seems to have settled o
2 CONC n the east side of Lower Little River about two miles west of Taylorsville. John Teague settl
2 CONC ed near the east end of Barretts Mountain near Liledoun. There he took up land and built hi
2 CONC s home, where he reared his large family.
2 CONT For John Teague all it shows is him being born ~1802. He married Mary Webster - no date given
2 CONC .   ** Note, this is John Teague, son of Moses Teague, son of Rev. Edward Teague **
2 CONT William Teague was born in 1822 according to the book.
2 CONT ** This is most likely William son of John above.  Also mentioned is Robert Teague (born ~180
2 CONC 4). He was the son of Moses Teague and Katy Payne Teague and Grandson of Pioneer Edward Teagu
2 CONC e.    ** The "Pioneer Edward Teague" to which this book refers is Rev. Edward Teague (b. 1716
2 CONC ), and not Edward Teague (1655) of England. (Robert) Married Sarah Price. About 1852 he wit
2 CONC h his wife and family of seven children left Alexander County going first to Tennessee and la
2 CONC ter to Missouri settling somewhere in the area of Springfield, Mo. Nice photograph of him als
2 CONC o.
2 CONT  "Edward Teague was a leader of men and had marked influence in his community. Perhaps he wa
2 CONC s best known as a preacher and the organizer of the first Baptist Church in this section of t
2 CONC he state, known as the New  Meeting House, organized in 1797 and a house of worship was erect
2 CONC ed at a point now known as the Munday Graveyard in Ellendale Township.   Edward Teague becam
2 CONC e its first pastor, serving the church from 1797 to his death in 1810."
2 CONT The book speculates that William Teague and his family came to America with a group of Baptis
2 CONC ts who emigrated to Virginia in the earlier part  (** Apparently, a link had not been establi
2 CONC shed from William to Edward Teague of England.) of the Eighteenth Century, coming in part t
2 CONC o escape restrictive laws against Baptists and Quakers in England of that time. It goes on t
2 CONC o say that Edward Teague (** Rev. Edward - b. 1716) settled just beyond the 
2 CONT west end of Barrets Mountain on Middle Little River, marking out a boundary of land for whic
2 CONC h he received title by State Grant after independence was won and North Carolina had becom
2 CONC e a sovereign state. The original tract consisted of 340 acres. Later he entered another trac
2 CONC t of100 acres on Middle Little River. The census of 1790 shows Edward Teague of Burke Count
2 CONC y to have a family  consisting of a wife, two sons under sixteen and five daughters, 
2 CONT also two Negro slaves.

2 CONT (regarding Edward's son William:)
2 CONT Kevin Price wrote me with this information from the 1953 book "Pioneer Settlers of Alexande
2 CONC r County, N.C.":
2 CONT Rev J.L. Teague gives this account from Sam Teague & Jim Teague, two very  old men living i
2 CONC n the vicinity of Love's Creek Baptist Church a few miles out of Siler City in the year 1928
2 CONC : "When we were around 10 years old we talked with our grandfather, who was then 90 years old
2 CONC . He told us that his father was one of seven brothers who came directly from England to Amer
2 CONC ica and settled in Orange County, North Carolina, and charged us to remember
2 CONT his words and hand them down to future generations. And the names of these seven brothers wer
2 CONC e Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Isaac, William and Edward, and their father's name was Will
2 CONC iam."
2 CONT 
2 CONT Except for the mention of coming "directly from England," this information is consistent wit
2 CONC h that listed in my database for William Teague (b. ABT 1693), son of Edward Teague (b. ABT 1
2 CONC 655).

2 CONC e McIntire Paine. To his new house he took Mother and there all their children were born an
2 CONC d reared, and where both he and Mother lived until their death.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In Father's early manhood, he went to a log rolling, which was a great affair in those times
2 CONC .  There he injured himself by overlifiting, just how he was not sure, but at the time he ble
2 CONC d internally.  After that time his health was never very good, and for several years they di
2 CONC d not believe that he would survive.  But he carefully guarded his health, and watched his fo
2 CONC od and lived to the age of 86 years.  I believe that in the latter years of his life that hi
2 CONC s health was much improved.  Father was always a very active man, he did not believe in idlen
2 CONC ess, and he practices his belief.
2 CONT 
2 CONT As his father died when he was only ten years old, he did not know too much about the Clark f
2 CONC amily.  They had scattered, some of them went to TX, some to OK, some to AR, some to MO, an
2 CONC d in those days it was very difficult to correspond with each other.  As the years and the Ci
2 CONC vil War passed they gradually lost tract of each other.  His brother Solomon, moved to Dalton
2 CONC , GA and bought a farm there.  His sister Minerva whom married Rufus Shields, followed him th
2 CONC ere.  His sister Emeline whom had married John Williams, moved to Dunn's Creek, near Cosby
2 CONC .  His sister Sarrah whom had married Joseph Williams, lived on an adjoining farm to his on B
2 CONC irds Creek, and of course he kept in contact with those.  But it was rather his Father's brot
2 CONC hers and sisters with whom he lost contact, as in those days there was almost no mail servic
2 CONC e and transportation was almost nil.
2 CONT 
2 CONT One incident in Father's life as he related it to me, was when he was about 11 years old, h
2 CONC e was captured and taken to Longstreet's encampment not far from where they lived.  The encam
2 CONC pment was in what they called the flat woods near Harrisburg.  You can imagine that a small b
2 CONC oy of 11 was pretty scared.  They kept him overnight and next morning returned him to his mot
2 CONC her.  They asked him lots of questions, figuring that he might could tell them the whereabout
2 CONC s of some of the men whom were hiding out in that vicinity.  They did not harm or threaten hi
2 CONC m in any way, and after he got over his scare, I think that he rather enjoyed it.
2 CONT 
2 CONT During the Civil War, he and his sisters would take turns holding the stock to keep the soldi
2 CONC ers from getting them.  They did get one of their mares, but his mother went to Colonel Murph
2 CONC y and he went with her to the encampment and the commanding officer made them line up the hor
2 CONC ses, and told her to pick her's out.  She did, and he returned it to her.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Some of Father's ancestors were very scholary, some could speak several different languages
2 CONC , could read books written in Latin, and wrote a very legible hand-writing in the script of t
2 CONC heir day.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Father was a very civic-minded man, and he always worked for the betterment of the community
2 CONC , in making it a better place for his children to live.  He worked tirelessly to establish Sm
2 CONC oky Mountain Academy, and he and Rev. S. F. Paine, were largely responsible for its being a r
2 CONC eality.  Most of the planning was done at home.  Father was one of its founders.  He donate
2 CONC d all of the lumber which went into its building and the first dormitory.  He gave of his tim
2 CONC e and monetary support until his death.  He was one of its first Trustees and always gave i
2 CONC t his active support.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Father joined the Zion Grove Baptist Church and was baptized sometime in his late fifties.  T
2 CONC he exact year I do not know, but I saw him baptized.  He was baptised in Birds Creek just abo
2 CONC ve ford now going over to D. E. Brown's .  He had always actively supported the church, and w
2 CONC hen something was going on at the church, Father never missed it, and saw that his children w
2 CONC ent also.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Father was a great believer in education, and his church, and he tried in every way possibl
2 CONC e to educate his children, and to see that facilities were available for that purpose. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Father was a very determined man, strictly honest, and thought everyone else should be the sa
2 CONC me.  He lost quite a lot of money in trusting people.  Once Father had made up his mind on a
2 CONC n issue, he was very hard to change.  In fact as far as Father was concerned, that was the wa
2 CONC y it was or had to be.  He demanded and received complete obedience from his children.   He w
2 CONC as very strict, though gentle, and the rules and regulations he propounded for his childfen h
2 CONC ad to be adhered to without question, and any deviation there-from called for disciplinary ac
2 CONC tion therefore. Father loved his children and family very much, and was always interested i
2 CONC n their well-being.  He loved his home, and only left it to attend to necessary business, o
2 CONC r his church, always returning as soon as possible.  His entire life was, him home and family
2 CONC .
2 CONT 
2 CONT Father, although his health was not very good, was always active, and was, up to the time o
2 CONC f his terminal illness, his willpower often carrying him through any task that he chose to pe
2 CONC rform.  Late in the fall of 1937, Father, one cold rainy day, left the house to see about th
2 CONC e division of the crops of one of the Tennants.   Mother tried to keep him from going, but h
2 CONC e went anyway.  He got wet and chilled from which he took pneumonia.  Although he recovered f
2 CONC rom the pneumonia itself, he did not recover from the effects of it.  On the morning of Jun
2 CONC e 15th, 1938, holding my hand he passed quietly, and peacefully away.  I had not only los
2 CONC t a father, but a dear friend and counselor as well.  Father was gone from us at the age of 8
2 CONC 6, and the family circle was broken.  He was laid to rest in the New Zion's Grove Baptist Chu
2 CONC rch Cemetery, beside his daughter Mary.  The Clarks and the Paines having some years previous
2 CONC ly signed an agreement with the Trustees of Smoky Mountain Academy not to use the Paine-Clar
2 CONC k Cemtery for future burial purposes."  (Newton Berry Clark)

2 CONC e along with Ambrose, Isaac Newton, Charles M. and Mary V. Payne. She was shown as (8) eigh
2 CONC t years old.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "She only took 1 car ride in her life.  It was to the doctor, and it made her so sick she sai
2 CONC d she would never ride again." (Emma Deane Clark)
2 CONT 
2 CONT "She moved to Sevier County, TN with her parents when she was a young girl.  Her ancestors, w
2 CONC ere of Dutch Hollander, Swiss and Irish origins.  
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother was about 5 feet 7 inches in height, weighed between 125 and 135 pounds, had long silk
2 CONC y dark hair, fair complexion, which remained smooth until her death, and brown eyes.  Mothe
2 CONC r liked to have her hair combed and many was the time when I was a young boy have I stood o
2 CONC n a chair combing it for her liking to feel the softness of it.  She was a strong woman, bot
2 CONC h physically and in will power.  She was seldom ill, and I cannot recall a time until the wei
2 CONC ght of years began to tell on her that she was ever ill.  She was troubled all her life wit
2 CONC h motion sickness, but that was about the only thing that seemed to bother Mother.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother loved beauty.  She loved flowers of which she had a profusion and would work for hour
2 CONC s in them.  She always had lovely flowers, even in her last years she still worked with her f
2 CONC lowers.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother was always busy, very energetic, she could not tolerate any kind of uncleanliness, nei
2 CONC ther in her house, clothing or her children, and every spring she moved everything from its p
2 CONC lace in the house and gave a general cleaning to the house, furniture, and everything.  She w
2 CONC as an excellent cook, and always prepared good food for her children or company as well.  Sh
2 CONC e insisted on cleanliness in her kitchen, in the utensils she used, and in the preparation o
2 CONC f the food. When a meal was over no matter how rushed, Mother always cleaned the refuse fro
2 CONC m the table, washed the dishes and the silverware, the utensils, and saw that her kitchen wa
2 CONC s clean before she left it.  She tolerated no accumulation of dirty dishes.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother loved her home and her children, with a love unsurpassed.  Her thoughts were ever of h
2 CONC er children, and if one of the children would call and required attention, she could go for d
2 CONC ays without sleep or rest.  She seemed to have a tireless amount of energy.  Her children alw
2 CONC ays came first, their cares, and their comfort and well being.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother's children could always go to her, with their troubles, their hurts and problems, an
2 CONC d always be sure of sympathy and understanding.
2 CONT 
2 CONT She made her children's clothes and bought one of the first Singer sewing machines to come t
2 CONC o Sevier County.  I have often known her after working in the garden or field all day, to spi
2 CONC n and card far into the night, in order that her children might have proper clothing, which s
2 CONC he always kept clean and neat.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother had a wonderful sense of humor and liked to tease.  She also had a nice voice for sing
2 CONC ing and liked to gather the children around her and sing.  Mother joined the Baptist church s
2 CONC ometime in her early girlhood and later transferred her letter to the Zion's Grove Baptist Ch
2 CONC urch, of which she remained a member until her death.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Mother, was a very profuse reader, she read all kinds of books.  The Bible, novels, romance
2 CONC , fiction, detective, all kinds of books seemed to interest her.  I have often waked up far i
2 CONC nto the night and saw a light in Mother's room-she would be reading.  She had a wonderul rete
2 CONC ntive memory.  I have asked her long after she had read a book what the book was about and sh
2 CONC e could quote word for word almost everything about the book.
2 CONT 
2 CONT After father died, Mother began to be bothered with high blood pressure, and her health bega
2 CONC n to fail.  She was fairly healthy on the whole, still looked after her garden and her flower
2 CONC s, but her health began to gradually decline.  In November of 1951, she went to the Baptist H
2 CONC ospital in Knoxville, TN and the doctor's having discovered that she had colon cancer, operat
2 CONC ed on her.  She was operated on by a specialist from the Mayo Clinic.  She went to the operat
2 CONC ing room cheerful, thinking that they could relieve and help her.  The doctors reported to he
2 CONC r children that there was no hope, that her cancer was the fast-acting type and that there wa
2 CONC s nothing else that they could do, but make her comfortable the few remaining days that she h
2 CONC ad to live.  Mother recovered from the shock of the operation, and wanted to leave the hospit
2 CONC al.  She went to Deane's with 24 hour nursing care, and died May 1952." (Newton B. Clark)
