| Notes |
- In 1850 Andrew McTeer aged 30 years was a resident in the 13th district, Blount
County; his household included his wife Nancy aged 27 and four children,
William aged 6, Elizabeth aged 5, Hetty aged 3 and Mary aged 7 months.
On 7 September 1885 William A. McTeer was appointed Administrator of the Estate
of Andrew B. McTeer, who had died on 13 June 1885, Nancy McTeer the widow
having declined to act as Administratrix. Bond was set at $2000 with A. B.
McTeer, J. G. McTeer and S. J. McCulloch as sureties.
On 21 October 1885 a committee appointed by the Court set off for Nancy McTeer
the widow's "one year's provisions" as follows: three horses, one milk cow,
two steers, two heifers, one calf, five sheep, four "fatning" hogs, seven
shoats, wheat on hand, present corn crop, hay and fodder on hands, one turning
plow, two small plows, two pair of gearing (harness), one harrow, two
cultivators, one wood saw, all household and kitchen furniture, $25 cash.
A sale notice of 4 September 1886 listed four parcels of land in the 13th Civil
District, Blount County, being "all the real estate owned by Andrew B. McTeer
at the time of his death", to wit: 91 acres adjoining J. A. McTeer, Cal Davis
and others; 84 acres adjoining J. A. McTeer, Gillespie, Graves and perhaps
others (this title in dispute); also revisionary interest of dower to Nancy
McTeer, S. A. McCulloch, Samuel Cameron, Robert Murrin's heirs and perhaps
others. All four tracts were sold to Nancy McTeer for $1605 and conveyed to
her 17 September 1886 by Ben Cunningham, Clerk and Special Commissioner.
After a law suit in April 1888 to quiet title in the case of James A. McTeer
and Nancy McTeer versus Samuel Gillespy, James Gillespy and Ann E. Blackburn,
James A. McTeer and Nancy McTeer (his widowed sister-in-law) divided certain
lands held as tenants in common; Nancy's residual part was 170 acres near the
foot of Chilhowee Mountain.
This last named property known as the "Mountain House Land" together with 84
3/4 acres on Ellejoy near Chilhowee Mountain (the second tract mentioned in the
estate sale above) was deeded on 25 January 1895 from Nancy McTeer to her son
Will A. McTeer. On that same date she deeded to her son Josias G. McTeer and
Alexander B. McTeer, 135 acres more or less, all the remaining land from her
husband's estate. Actually the finincial considerations specified in these
deeds constitute the settlement of Nancy McTeer's estate.
