• 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." ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 94.
