Notes:

One Samuel McTeer was coroner of Monroe County, Tennessee, in May 1824, but it
is not clear whether it was this or some other.

In the 1830 census of Blount County Samuel McTerr aged 30-40 was listed with a
wife aged 20-30, one son under five years, three daughters, two 5-10 and one
under five years.

On 13 February 1832 Samuel McTeer of Blount County, for $300, conveyed to James
Henry of Blount County, 133 acres on Bakers Creek in Blount County, land
granted to John Ewing, adjoining Robert Boyd, James Scott and Robert Bogle,
Witnesses: R. Bogle, John allen. On 12 November 1840 this land was surveyed
as 160 acres, and the deed acknowledged by the witness R. Bogle on 5 February
1849 and again on 24 March 1858 by the Clerk who identified the handwriting of
John Allen, then deceased, was filed on 25 March 1858.

Between the date of this deed and the date on Robert Bogle's acknowledgement
the grantor Samuel McTeer had moved away from East Tennessee. He probably left
soon after the Blount County marriage of his oldest daughter, Mary Jane, on 22
September 1842.

On 10 December 1857 Samuel McTeer took up government land in T22 N, R 3 E,
Downs Township, McLean County, Illinois, and both Samuel McTeer and S. W.
McTeer were listed as residents there in 1859-1860.

In the 1860 census of Downs Township, McLean County, Samuel Matear aged 60 was
head of a household which included his wife Isabel aged 50 as well as Henry
Cooper aged 45 and William Cooper aged 46 years; all four were born in
Tennessee.

Samuel McTeer died at the home of his daughter Mary Delzell.

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.
