  Martin McTeer owned and operated the mill which had been his father's. It was located on and run by the waters of Ellejoy Creek at a site beside the old McTeer Fort. In addition to land inherited through his father's will, Martin McTeer had a grant of 100 acres from the State of Tennessee, filed in Blount County, 21 October 1824, surveyed 25 October 1824, and bounded by lands of Robert Murrins, William McTeer and Adam Kuns. In the 1830 census of Blount County Martin Mcteer and his wife were listed as aged 50-60 years; they had living with them a girl aged 10-16 years. In the 1850 census of the 1st Civil District Blount County Martin McTeer was listed aged 78 years with wife aged 71, both born in Pennsylvania; the only other member of their household was Minerva McTeer aged 20, born in Tennessee (their niece). The will of Martin McTeer, written 15 March 1845, probated 6 February 1854, bequeathed to wife Ann, all of "the tract I now live on", also one-half of the 100 acres adjoining, a Negro girl Dolly and control of all property; to friends Moses Hooper and Miles Hooper, the place "where they now live"; to niece Minervey McTeer, the gray mare and brindle cow.
