Robert McTeer, Jr., was a farmer and lived the greater part of his life at Ellejoy, Tennessee. 'He owned the lands known as the 'Lower Place', where he made his home. We have but little either by record or tradition of him, either personal appearance, traits or habits. One thing regarding him indicates that he had an intensity of feeling in standing by a friend. ... A brother-in-law, Mr. Sherrill, became involved in debt. Robert McTeer first conveyed his lands to him and then made a joint mortgage to secure the indebtedness of Mr. Sherrill. the mortgage was foreclosed, and Robert lost all. Grandfather William McTeer bought in the land and owned it at the time of his death.'
Legal notice of Robert McTeer's death is found in the Blount County, Tennessee Probate files, when on 25 March 1833 his son Montgomery McTeer was appointed guardian for his brother William McTeer with Samuell Sherrill as surety in the amount of $500.
