| 15. | Lovicey Croton Pitner was born 9 Dec 1819, Tennessee (daughter of John Pitner and Dorothy Cresswell); died 30 May 1888; was buried Eusebia Cemetery, Blount County, Tennessee. Notes:
On 23 May 1856 Rufus W. Cresswell of Sevier County, Tennessee (the child's
uncle), as next friend applied for bounty land in the right of Mary Angeline
Pitner, "daughter and only minor heir" of John Pitner who enlisted on 18 June
1812 for a term of six months service during the War of 1812 as private soldier
in Captain William Henderson's Company in a Regiment of Tennessee Militia
commanded by Colonel Johnson "or said company acted as spies to General
Taylor's Brigade." John Pitner had died in the fall of 1836 in Hamilton
County, Tennessee and his widow Dorotha Pitner had died about 1838 in Walker
County, Georgia. Also on 23 May 1856 Andrew H. Pitner (Mary Angeline's brother
born 26 October 1823) deposed likewise and said he was present at the death of
each of his parents. Glasgo Snoddy and Samuel Cresswell attested to the
identity of both Rufus M. Cresswell and Mary Angeline Pitner.
A "Copy of Family Record" offered as supporting evidence with this application
shows the names and birthdates of nine children of John Pitner, the eldest
Hariet Matilda born 13 July 1817 and the youngest Mary Angeline born 6 April
1836. To authenticate this copy Louvecy McTeer (listed in the record as
Louvecy Croton Pitner born 9 December 1819) deposed on 28 April 1856 before
Michael Kountz of Blount County that she had then in her possession John
Pitner's Family Bible, which she had kept ever since he died.
On 13 December 1820 John Pinter (Pitner in the signature) of Blount County, for
$600 deeded to John Jones Jr. of Washington County, Virginia, a tract of land
containing 228 acres 13 poles on the "Waters of Isle of Joy" (Ellejoy).
Witnesses: Adam Pitner, Isaac Lindsay, John Kincannen. Acknowledged in June
1821 by Adam Pitner. Filed 22 February 1822.
In 1850 James McTeer aged 29 was living in the 12th District, Blount County,
Tennessee, between Michael Koontz (father of Samuel, who later married James'
daughter Mary) on the one side and Martin McTeer on the other. James' wife
"Lavinia" was then aged 30 years and there were three daughters, Mary aged 6,
Jane aged 5, and Martha aged one year.
This must have been a noisy household. According to family tradition Lovicey
was a "shouter" and James A. was a "cusser", who drank heavily in his younger
days. Later on Lovicey smoked a little clay pipe which her son Will liked to
hide as a way of teasing his mother.
In January 1895 William M. McTeer was appointed Administrator of the estate of
James A. McTeer; A. J. L. McTeer, A. M. Rule and Will A. McTeer signed the
bond. Inventory totalled $2952.42. On 31 March 1898 proceeds of the estate
were distributed to seven heirs, viz.: Mary D. Kounts, Nancy J. Ambrister,
Martha E. Davis, Margaret E. Keeble, Eliza C. Brakebille, William M. McTeer and
Andrew J. L. McTeer. Two of the children and heirs-at-law, John A. McTeer and
Ellen McTeer "for outside and satisfactory considerations have waived their
right to any share."
