Notes:

Of Harford County, Maryland.

On 14 August 1797 John North and wife Catharina of Juniata Township, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, conveyed to Robert McTeer of Allen Township and Robert
Bailey of Hartford (sic) County, Maryland, three tracts in Juniata, formerly
Rye Township, 338 acres 28 perches on the south side of the Juniata River,
36.25 acres west of the Juniata at the mouth of Raccoon Creek, and 154 acres
128 perches also in Juniata Township. Witnesses: Fredrick Went, Fredrick
Harter. Acknowledged 14 August 1797. Recorded 1 May 1798.

In the early 1800s the Baileys moved to Post Oak Springs, Tennessee, once an
important junction on the stage road from South West Point (Kingston,
Tennessee) to Nashville.

The name of a Robert Bailey does indeed appear on an 1801 tax list of Blount
County, Captain Kelley's Company. But this man owned no land and was not a
near neighbor to any of the McTeers; so it is impossible to realistically
assert that he was Elizabeths husband. There are no deeds for this Robert
Bailey recorded in Blount County.

According to the Tax Lists of Roane County, 1814-1821 Robert Bailey had 50
acres on Caney Creek in Captain Byrd's Company; he was listed as owner in 1817
and 1818, with Elizabeth named as owner thereafter.

Robert married Elizabeth McTeer , Pennsylvania. Elizabeth (daughter of James McTeer and Elizabeth D. Nelson) was born Abt 1770, , Cumberland, Pennsylvania; died Bef 21 Sep 1867, , Roane, Tennessee. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In October 1818 Elizabeth Bailey and John Smith were appointed Administrators
of the Estate of Robert Bailey deceased. On 20 November 1818 the Court issued
a distributions order for Elizabeth Bailey widow, "her family being seven in
number"; she was to have corn, wheat, potatoes, fodder, eight small hogs, wool,
cotton and $30.00 cash. Inventory taken 10 December 1818 included tools,
household furnishings and animals.

Final Disposition of the Bailey land in Roane County is covered in a series of
deeds: on 13 July 1841 Robert C. Bailey of Roane County, for $57 conveyed to
Eliza M. Bailey all of his rights as an heir of Robert Bailey deceased,
specifically an undivided one-sixth interest in 50 acres located near Cave
Spring on the North Tennessee River, "where Robert Bailey's widow now resides";
on 21 September 1867 Ann Smith, formerly Ann Bailey, of the 13th Civil
District, Roane County, for $150 deeded to her sister Eliza M. Houston, formerly
Eliza Bailey, an undivided interest in 50 acres in the 15th Civil District,
"where the said Eliza M. Houston and her husband now reside", adjoining
property of William J. Owings and the Ellis Mill tract; Ann's interest was
originally one-sixth, but is now one-fifth because her brother John Bailey, who
went to Texas and has not been heard from in the last twenty years is now
presumed dead with his share undisposed of; on 27 January 1869 Jane McMillen of
Henderson County, Kentucky, by her Attorney J. B. Smith of Roane County, for
$150 conveyed to "our sister Eliza M. Houston wife of Robert F. Houston", the
undivided interest of the said Margaret Smith in the 50 acres in the 13th Civil
District, the estate of her father Robert Bailey, also as a sister and
heir-at-law of our brother John L. Bailey, "who left the county many years ago,
unmarried, and is supposed to have died."

Notes:

During the Revolutionary War James McTeer was a private soldier in October of 1777 in the Third Battalion Cumberland Co. Militia; and on 23 Oct. 1780 he was listed in Capt. Laird's Co.

On 4 Feb. 1793 when militia listed of all male residents of Cumberland Co. between the ages of 18 and 45 was made, two from this family were included, James "Jr." and Robert, then aged 21 years; James Sr. was too old and son John was probably just under eighteen.

In the 1790 census James McTeer was listed in Allen Twp., Cumberland Co., with a household of three males over 16, one younger boy, and three females. In 1800 his household had four males; he was over 45 years with two men 26-45 and one 16-26; there were six females, two 26-45, one 10-16, and three under ten years. The complexion of James' household as shown in these two census records can lead to several interesting suppositions: His wife had probably died between 1790 and 1800; daughter Elizabeth Bailey with her husband and three little girls was probably living with her father in 1880; son John aged 25 accounts for the 16-26 male tally; either son James or son Robert was missing from the family as reported -- probably James, as Robert was identified in October 1800 as "of Allen Township" when he was mentioned in the will of his uncle Samuel McTeer.

According to the records of Pennsylvania Direct Tax of 1798 this James McTeer was then owner and occupant of a frame dwelling in Allen Twp., Cumberland Co.; the main house was 30 by 22 feet, one story, with six windows containing 60 lights; there were two outbuildings, a frame kitchen 16 by 15 feet, and a stone milk house 19 by 16 feet; the whole property including two acres of land was valued at $350.

The will of James McTeer of Allen Twp., written 7 Oct. 1803, probated 19 Oct., mentions his being sick and frail, leaves one-third of his real estate in either Allen Twp. or Juniata Twp. and one-third of his personal estate to his son James, he to pay one-third of the debts and legacies (but if son James should die without lawful issue then his share to go to his brother John); son John to have two-thirds of the real and personal property, he to pay two-thirds of the debts and the following legacies: to Robert an Elizabeth Bailey, ten shillings; to Elizabeth Bailey 4 pounds per year for five years; to granddaughters Margaret, Ann and Jane Bailey 5 pounds each at age 18; to grandson Bailey (unnamed), 5 pounds at age 21. Witnesses: C. Quigley, James McTeer; Executor: John McTeer.

On 1 April 1858 John Mateer of Lower Allen Twp., for $13,888.87 deeded to John Strong of York Co., Penna., a tract containing 194 acres 40 perches located in Lower Allen Twp., Cumberland Co. and bounded by the lands of W. H. Smith, James Dunlap, D. Hurst and C. Musselman, which tract had by sundry conveyances become vested in James McTeer Sr. and by his will was devised one-third to James Mateer Jr. and two-thirds to John Mateer, but now since the Said James Mateer has "died intestate and without issue", John Mateer the present grantor has sole title to the property.

Buried in Silver Spring Church.
