In the last several months User:Parris has added considerable information to this page, relevant to George Teater and his relationships. Additional effort is needed to format and organize this information. Some data can be usefully added to the digital library (e.g, tax lists, wills etc.), to which links can be created to allow readers to examine the raw information, without bogging down the narrative. In addition, some of the data added does not include needed source information; sources need to be added where-ever possible. Also, there are several distinct problems associated with the genealogy of George Teater (as with any genealogy). In particular, there are appear to be records for several distinct "George Teaters" in Virginia and Kentucky, and it is not always clear which records belong to the George Teater who briefly settled in Southwest Virginia.

Some of the data shown here deals with persons believed to be related to George Teater (inlaws, descendants, etc.), or represent snippets of information from various source documents. In some cases it may be useful to transfer this information to separate articles focusing on specific relationships, problems or issues. Such materials are being handled as follows:

Given the amount of information involved, it will probably take considerable time to organize and represent this information. Some of the information has clearly been taken from postings on the internet, and other information is extractions by Parris from original sources. Original, and intermediate sources are not always shown; additional work needs to be done to make sure that each item is properly sourced, that other individuals are properly credited, and no copyrighted information is included beyond what's covered under "Fair Use Provisions".
