Many of these notebooks need editorial attention:

a) Simplification of section titles so that they do not result in overly long entries in the TOC;

b) Transfer of unrelated materials to notebooks devoted to a specific subject;

c) Reformating so that separate lines do not run together.

d) General editorial work to improve clarity

Ray of Howard County, Mo. - Photos RayofHowardCountyMo--Photos@groups.msn.com When I say a mixed wife I mean Indian and white. Above are photos of George Teater and Sarah Pearis grandchildren and great children. They do not look White they are mixed. The other Grandparent here was Joseph Ray White Zacharia Ray French and old froniter stock Maye some Indian blood here is from Mary Benge. But the stong Indian Blood appears from Samuel Teater son of George Teater and Sarah Pearis. anyone can argue the point and say I got this I got that. It doesnt matter photographic evidence says these people are mixed Indians. And the only strong possible 1st line mix is Samuel Teaters mother Sarah Pearis. I have a excellant photo collection of Williams line as well. Take my word for it they are twice as Dark and twice as Indian than people here. Parris Teaters photo collection is the same they are all dark skinned Native looking people.--Parris 09:25, 8 December 2008 (EST)

This just a example but these people friends relatives of George Teater George Pearis Benjamin Totten and shows how flung thier homes where in relation to thier farms and other cabins Thompson vs. Ingles--O. S. 46; N. S. 16. William Ingles, son and heir of Thomas Ingles, who was brother and heir of John Ingles. Deposition of James Burk as to settlement of Burke's garden by the Ingles and Pattons. Thomas and John Ingles settled there about 1749; they were brothers. William Ingles, only son of Thomas, built a cabin, but did not settle there. Thomas had another son, who was a seaman; was never married and died at sea. William Ingles was heir to John Ingles, who had no family. He was killed before the death of Thomas, who was his eldest brother. He was married, but left no children. (Samuel Wilson's deposition, aged 67, 23d February, 1800.)--Parris 04:27, 9 December 2008 (EST)

George Teater I believe was semi raised as older orphan by either Richard Pearis or George Pearis. somewhere in this time he met his met his wife Sarah the daughter of George Pearis and one of his wives mixed woman from the Catawba Chowan Tribe.

Sarah may have married George sometime about 1760 to 1762 while George Teater was preforming his duty as the Sgt of Capt Nathaniel Gist this would be in the old Virginia Regiment . Sarah died in 1794.

George Teater 2nd wife wife was Esther Griffith her marraige to George Teater is recorded 1796 Madison Kentucky. George Teater son in law Samuel Griffith is listed as the bondsman. Samuel Griffith was a son of Jonas Griffith from Burke NC. Samuel Griffith married Sarah Teater in 1791 Madison KY Sarah Teater was a daughter of George Teater and Sarah Pearis.. Esthers date of death is unknown.

George Teaters 3rd wife is listed on 2 documents one in Overton TN and one in the Garrard Co court. Her name was the same as 2nd wife but spelled Ester. Her maiden name is unknown she was the mother of George Teaters sons wife Rebecca Totten. she was the widow of Benjamin Totton Sr., Her maiden name maybe Crockett there is a lot of circumstancial evidence she was John Crocketts sister aunt of Davy Crockett Alamo fame.--Parris 09:20, 7 December 2008 (EST)

This issue may take a variety of documents to clear up and some lengthly posts to add it all up. George Teater is documnted as entering Gov Sharps new Maryland Regiment coined Dagworthys Regiment the same time with Capt Richard Pearis. they were camp together for 2 years.. George though is most overall linked by his wife Sarah to George Pearis the elder brother of Richard. Instances per say most of George Teaters real estate transactions are always with the Pearis family. The sale of land at Crab Creek to Howard Heavin a relative of Geprge Pearis wife Sarah Pepper. The sale of lands at Bakers creek to John Portefield whos wife was Sarah Pearis Neely a cousin of Robert and George Pearis. The purchase of lands in Madsion Co KY from General Greene Clay a uncle of George Pearis Jr wife.. Below we can see the daughter of Robert Pearis loyalist was assigned to cousin John Cunningham. When Cunninghams estate was seized Elizabeth ran all the way to Kentucky to who? The Teaters are the logical conclusion. We could list all the 300 Sarah Pearis Teaters Robert Pearis Teaters George Pearis Teater and Parris Teaters 1st to 3rd generation. To much clutter. Or the fact that George Pearis and his wife relocated to Garrard KY from Giles co for a time with George Teater or Rhoda Parris and her son George Hohimer intermarraiges with Parris Teater the Tottens family or the fact that Robert Pearis came same time and took George Teaters son Robert Teater with him to Shelby Co. We could note that both Robert and George served under Sgt George Teater in Capt James Thompsons Co William Campbells co. We could go into the Jones file ,example George Pearis son in law Freeman Jones and his brothers notes with George Teater in Garrard Kentucky.. Example 1810 John Jones Garrard KY other free 29 slaves means he was a Indian..

SPECAIL NOTE. George Pearis is listed from 1747 to 1743 as one of his homes at Goose Creek. His son Robert said he born in Botetourt 1750. it doesnt matter what we think Botetourt is today or what we think think Botetourt was then 200 years years ago. What matters is that people in those times sometimes reffered to Botetourt, sometimes as lands from Augusta all the way to the Mississippi. To combine 500 documents will still be leading only that Sarah Pearis was the daughter of George Pearis and one of his mixed Chowan or Catawba wives..

Some of these documents are posted on the various George Teater note books. I will shore it up in sequence below starting with the Pearis line then move to the Griiffth line 2nd wife then the Totten line 3rd wife.

“William Jones, of the county of Wilkes, in the state aforesaid [Georgia], being duly sworn, maketh oath, and saith, that, about four months ago [that would be April 1794], he was employed and did go the Creek country, to carry a letter to Ford Reid & Company at Pensacola, the Lieutenant Governor directed him to go to the principal Govenor at New Orleans, which the despondent did; that, returning from New Orleans, and arriving again at Pensacola, about four weeks since, he saw there Colonel [Thomas] Brown[e] and Colonel Richard Paris [Pearis], of and from the Island of new Providence, with letters from Lord Dunmore to the Governor of Pensacola, to obtain a passport to the Creek country, which letters he saw delivered; and that the despondent understood they had a large quantity of goods for the Creeks, and was told by Baillee China, and the Indian trader Russel, that they were to hold a treaty with the Creek nation….”

William Jones [signed]

ROBERT PARIS VIRGINIA S 31,287

Shelby County, Kentucky. December 1, 1833, age 83. States that he was a resident of Montgomery County, Virginia when he entered the service as a private volunteer soldier in September 1774, as well as he remembers, and was attached to the company of Captain Campbell; that he rendezvoused with his company at the house of Captain Campbell in Montgomery County, Virginia, that the tour was for 3 months under command of Col Lewis who designed an expedition against the Indian settlements on the Kohawa River. They having committed some depredations upon the frontier settlements and having engaged in open hostilities; that he marched with the rest of said men from their place of rendezvous upon said expedition and upon their march on the waters of New River. He, this declarant, received a severe injury in his right leg by a fall and could in consequence threof proceed with the troops no further but was compelled to remain behind and await the return of the party that they had afterwards as he was informed a skirmish with the Indians on the Kohawa River when said Lewis the commander was killed: that the detachment at last returned and with its assistance he was enabled to return: that he continued afterwards with his company until the expiration of his tour but was unable to perform any active military duty during it's continuance after he received the aforesaid injury - - -says that in March 1775 again entered the service as a volunteer for 3 months in a company of Captain Thompson, that he still resided in the said County of Montgomery: that he rendezvoused with the company to New River and was stationed at a small fort or station near a place called Long Island, for the purpose of guarding and defending the frontiers from the Indians who were exceedingly troublesome: that while he was at said point he was engaged upon various scouting parties directed against the Indians and was indeed actively employed in that kind of warfare against them during the main and principal part of his term of service and when his tour had expired having fully and faithfully served out the same, he was discharged and returned to his home. Says that on July 24, 1775, he entered upon an expedition to Kentucky under Daniel Boone: that there were only ten effective men in company and they left the said County of Montgomery on the said day and marched through the country and finally landed at Boonesboro on the Kentucky River at which place there was at that time a small fort, that he continued at said place guarding it except when absent on scouting and spying parties, which was frequently the case for about the period of four months and then returned to his home in Montgomery County, Virginia. Says that his services upon this trip or expedition were those of a volunteer. States that early in the spring of the year 1776, he thinks in March or April of that year the Indians again became very troublesome upon the frontier comprising the section of country where he lived - - his residence still being in Montgomery County, Virginia, and that he volunteered against them and accordingly returned to the service and was engaged almost constantly during the residue of the spring of said year and the following Summer and Fall in scouting parties against them, which were largely headed by Captain Campbell and also a spy, says he served 5 months that his services were almost constant, the situation of the frontier and disposition of the Indians required unremitting attention. Further states that in 1777 in the spring, the situation on the settlements in his quarters of the country was no better than it was in the year proceeding: that the Indians were still hostile and frequently committed depredation upon them, sometimes stealing their horses and every once in awhile butchering some of the inhabitants, that in consequence thereof, the service of the able bodied men were in almost constant requisition from the later part of the winter to the first part of the spring until the later part of the fall of that year comprising a period of nearly or quite nine months and that he, this declarant, being young man intermission during the whole of said period in spying and scouting parties against them. - - He is sure that he is within the bounds of truth when he says that he was engaged in less than six months in active and actual service against them as a spy and upon scouting parties during the spring - summer and fall of the said year 1777, says Captain Campbell was an active Indian fighter and commanded the scouting parties upon several occasions in which this declarant was engaged. Says further that a brother of his (this declarant) was also a captain and that his said brother was also very active exertions to protect the settlements and that he was often the leader of parties in which the declarant was one, he states that during the winter season the Indians commonly gave them little or no interruption, that it was only in the open season of the year generally that they were to be dreaded and guarded against. Says that in 1778 he was engaged as in the proceeding year in endeavoring to protect the country from depredations of the Indians. That he was also much engaged that year to wit: 1778 in active service against the Indians as a spy and scout, that his services were performed in the spring, summer and fall of the year: that he is confident that he could not have performed less than four months active service as such during said year: that his said services as a spy and scout or ranger against the Indians during the said year 1778 were performed under Captain Campbell and Captain Paris. That in the month of May 1779 as well as he now remembers he again entered the service of the U.S. as a private volunteer soldier under Captain Campbell upon a tour of 3 months: that the company met at the house of Campbell and he was marched by him to the vicinity of New River where the Indians had been committing some depredations: that he continued in the service against the Indians endeavoring to repel and punish their depredations, during the whole of his said tour and when the same was fully ended, he returned home to Montgomery County, Virginia where he still resided. States that early in the spring of the year 1780 he moved from Montgomery County, VA. to Green County, N.C. which now composes part of the State of Tennessee: That his said company rendezvoused at the muster guard and came under command of Col William Campbell, who had also under his command various other militia companies: that they were marched from their said places of rendezvous up the country and in a few days were joined by other men under command of Col Sevier and Col Shelby and Col Cleveland: that they then marched in pursuit of the British and Tories under the command of Col or General Ferguson and finally came up with him at King's Mountain where a severe engagement took place in which Ferguson men and many of the men were killed and a good many prisoners taken: that he continued in service after this action until the expiration of his said tour of duty and was then discharged and returned to his home in said Green County, N.C. - - -Says that in 1781, in June he again entered service as a private volunteer soldier in a troop of Cavalry, under Captain Richardson upon a tour of 3 months, that his company rendezvoused at a place called Knox on Hoston and there came under command of Col Martin and were marched against the Indians at what was then called the lower Chickamunga towns, that they destroyed their huts and corn and upon the route 3 of the Americans killed and five wounded, that after destroying their corn they were marched back again and the Indians fled on at a distance and a few days after the return of the party Indians commenced a series of depredations upon the settlements and by means there of kept this declarant constantly engaged in active service during the whole period of his said tour and when the same was fully and completely ended he was discharged and returned home. - - -States that during the year 1782 and 1783, he was frequently engaged in parties against the Indians under the command of Captain Richardson and Sawyer, that he also acted a part of each one of those years as an Indian spy, he thinks not less than two months in each year, and he thinks he did not serve on the parties named above less than two months, as a spy and two months upon scouting parties, in 1782 and in similar service in 1783, amounting in all, for both said years to 8 months. - - -States that it has been his fortune from his first arrival at manhood until 1793 to be a resident in the frontier settlements and amongst those who were exposed to the incursions of the Indians: that his own safety and that of his family and his neighbors required of him the most active exertion during a great part of the time. - - -Said he was born in Botetourt County, Virginia October 3, 1750, he remained in Green County, N.C. until 1793 when called into the service from the early part of the year 1780 until the conclusion of the war in 1793, I moved from that county and state to Madison County, Kentucky, now Gerrard County, Kentucky and about ten years afterwards moved to where I now live, in Shelby County, KY. - - I recollect that Col Shelby was with us upon the tour against the British and Tories and upon that tour the battle of King's Mountain was fought. - - Robert received his pension, $80.00, 4 January 1834 at age 84)

I will put 2 records of Benjamin Totten Sr to establish the date of marriage for George Teater to his 3rd wife Ester. To the reader dont be confused this is only a coincedence George Teater had 2 wives simply names Esther and Ester. The 2nd wife was Esther Griffith the 3rd wife was Ester? maiden name unknow she was a widow of Benjamin Totten Sr. Benjamin Totten and Ester were the parents of Parris Teaters wife Rebecca born 1796 on the Nolichuckey TN. The list comes from Roll 5, Tennessee State Archives.The first number is the NP and the last number is the number of Acres. List of Taxables Jackson TN and Taxable Property in CAPT. BENJAMIN TOTTON’S District: Charles Gentry 0-1200 This is a true copy from the original Tax list and recorded in Jackson County for the year 1802. John Bowen - Clerk by A. Rawlings his Deputy Clerk... I want to make a special note here. Just as there has been mythical corny redicules stories that George Teater was a German Dunker there are also worse corny stories about Benjamin Totten Sr. Example thieves bushwhacked him in Lynchburg 1798. Indians killed and scalped him in Arkansas 1794. all of these cooked up stories are false. Read the above Benjamin Totten was very alive and well in Jackson Tn [with Jonas Griffith]--Parris 04:08, 8 December 2008 (EST)

1800 Smyth Co TN Court Minuets.

Deed, Redmond D. Barry to Sampson Williams, for 228 acres, proven by the oath of Micheal Murphy, one of the subscribing witnesses thereto, and ordered to be registered.” Here we have an item about which we have a little information. Micheal Murphy lived in 1800 at the present Pleasant Shade. So far as we have been able to learn, he was the first settler there. His house is said to have stood in what is now a field just back of the home built some years ago by the late Bob Williams. This was on elevated ground, perhaps 20 feet above the creek, now known as the combined Sanderson’s and Boston Branches. This stream flows into the main Peyton’s Creek, about three hundred yards below where the old Murphy home is said to have been located. Years ago when we lived at Pleasant Shade, we were told that Court once met in the home of a man who lived then just back of the present Williams home. We have since learned from the old records that his name was Micheal Murphy, and that the September 1800 Court met in his home. Redmond Barry is another “unknown” to us. The land in the two deeds above being the same in acreage, and Sampson Williams having been a purchaser in one of the transactions and a seller in another, we judge the land to have been in the same tract. But it’s location is a mystery to us.

“Benjamin Totten took the oath of Deputy Sheriff in Open Court. “

For the reader note you now have 2 solid historical documents Benjamin Totten was alive and well 1800 in Smyth Tn which formed into Jackson TN. You have a 2nd record, a solid record from the TN archives Benjamin Totten was in fact alive and well in 1802. He was not bushwacked he was not scalped by Indians. all that is cooked up usless information--Parris 04:18, 8 December 2008 (EST)

This is the Totten family power of Attorney. It can be found in 2 court houses it registered in the Overton TN court archives and is registered in the Garrard KY court archives. This a excerpt translated copy by Sandra norris a historical TN jouralist. Overton Co., Tenn. deed books: Deeds C, Page 219

George Teeter and Ester Teeter, his wife, late Ester Totten and former widow of Benjamin Totten, decd, George Hohemer and Easter Hohimer, late Ester Totten, James Totten, Joseph H. Totten, Parris Teeter and Richard Teeter, his wife, late Rebeccah Totten, children and legatees of Benjamin Totten, decd, appoint Benj. Totten our attorney, etc. Rebecca was the wife of Parris Teeter and Ester was the wife of George Teeter. 19 July 1813. Proved in Garrard County, Kentucky.

Its time to to get the calculator and do some math. Benjamin Totten the 1st husband of Ester? was still living in 1802. George Teater married his 2nd wife Esther Griffith in 1796. This means that Esther Griffith died sometime after the date 1802. It means that George Teater married his 3rd wife Ester? a widow of Benjamin Totten after 1802.. Its very simple george has 2 wives both named ester esther ect.. i will make a comment i believe ester 3rd wife was a sister of John Crockett father of Davy Alamo fame. There are many records that indicate this..

I will refresh George Teater married Sarah Pearis a daughter of George Pearis and one of his mixed Indian wives she died 1794. George Teater remarried Esther Griffith 1796 a maiden of Jonas Griffith family. George Teater married his 3rd wife the mother of his daughter in law Rebecca Totten sometime after 1802. She appears by many records to be the aunt of Davy Crockket.--Parris 04:45, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Another coincedence Freeman Jones married Christian Pearis daughter of George Pearis and brother John comes all the way to Garrard Kentucky with the Teaters. Listed on 1830 Census for Pickens County, Alabama, sheet 111, (p. 220): Freeman Jones 1 male under 5 (Robert Paris age 2) 1 male 20 to under 30 (Freeman Jr. age25) 1 female under 5 (Elizabeth Mahalia age 4) 1 female 20 to under 30 (wife Virginia age 22) 1 male slave 5 and under 10; 0 agricultural workers Note: appears one page after his brother, Richard Jones. May have come to Miss. by 1837 when his daughter, Artemisia was born there.

Freeman Jones Listed on 1830 Census of Pickens County, Alabama, sheet 129 (#256). 1 male-under 5 1 male 20-30 1 male 60-70 (Freeman Sr. age 67) 1 female under 5 2 females 5 to under 10 1 female 20 to under 30 1 female 60 to under 70 (wife Christian- age 63) 1 female slave 10 to under 25 (p. 26, Records of Pickens County, Alabama, Vol 3; 1830 Census Pickens Co.) I think that this maybe son George Jones (age 33) and his family wife Diannah 31; son Henry 8; twins Freeman 6 and dau Rachel Elmira 6???@There are only 2 George Joneses on the 1830 Alabama Census in Madison and Henry Counties, but the ages and number of family members donft match up. George doesnft show up in Newton Co. MS until 1840 Census. )

1830 Census Index of Pickens County, Alabama lists Richard Jones, sheet 110 (#218). 1 Male 10-15 (Freeman Richard 14; William 11) 1 male 15 and under 20(maybe brother Robert age 18) 1 male 40 and under 50(Richard 43) 2 females under 5(Margaret 6) 1 female 10 and under 15(Christiana 15) 1 female 40 and under 50(wife Rachel 42) 0 slaves; 0 agricultural workers Is it brother Robert Jones living in this household? (Note: living next door is Norris Hendon, father-in-law of Freeman Jones Jr.)

Listed on 1840 Census of Newton County, Mississippi, page 140, line 16: Freeman Jones Sr. 1 male under 10-15 (Robert Paris) 2 male 30-40 (Freeman Jr. age 35; and ?brother) 2 female under 5 (Christiana; Artemisia) 2 female 5-10 (Alice and Rebecca) 1 female 10-15 (?) 1 female 30-40 (Virginia age 32) 0 slaves; 2 agricultural workers Note: Freeman Sr. died in 1835 and there is another Freeman Jones, son of Richard, living close by. So Freeman Jr. may have taken on the "Sr." to avoid confusion. Also brother George Jones m. Diannah Johnson had a son named Freeman Jones born June 7, 1824 who later marries Sarah Whittington. So there were 3 known Freeman Jones living in Newton Co. MS in 1840.)

Freeman Jones Jr. appears on the 1840 Census of Newton County, Mississippi on Page 140, line 18 as: Freeman Jones Jr. 1 Male under 5 (Thomas age 1) 1 Male 20 to under 30 (Freeman age 24) 1 female under 5 1 female 20 to under 30 (Elizabeth age 21) 0 slaves; 1 agricultural worker (Appears to be son of Richard Jones, Freeman Richard Jones now called Freeman Jones Jr. Living nearby is his Uncle Freeman Jones Jr. (now Sr.) m. Virginia Hendon and Uncle John Cook m. Virginia Jones.)

John Cook listed on the Newton County, MS census for 1840 next to a Freeman Jones Jr. household; page 140: 1 male 50 to under 60 (John Cook) 1 male 70 to 80 (could be father of John Cook?) 1 female 40 to under 50 (wife Virginia Jones, abt age 51) 1 female slave 36 to under 55 2 agricultural workers 1840 Census of Newton County, Mississippi lists on Page 137, Line 6: Christine Jones1 female 30-40 (?) 1 female 70-80 (Widow Christian at age 73) 1 female slave 24 to under 36 Name on census looks like it is written as Christine. Next door to them is her oldest son, Richard Jones's household. Looks like same slave from 1830 Pickens Co. ALA. In 1850 Census Christian is living with her son Robert Jones and his wife Mary. Note: The unidentified female maybe dau Susanne Elizabeth Jones (b. 1792-age48) who Died in Newton Co. 11/1/1855. She was married #2 to a Robertson, but no Robertson appears on the 1840-50 Census in Newton Co.MS. All her married children appear in Newton Co.MS, but she does seem to be not living with them.

1840 Census of Newton County, Mississippi, Page 137, Line 5 lists Richard Jones as head of household next door to mother Christian Jones household: 1 Male under 5 ? 1 Male 20-under 30 (William Johnson Jones abt 21 marries 1843) 1 Male 50-under 60(Richard age 53) 1 Female 5-under 10 (Lucinda 8) 2 Females 10-under 15 (Elizabeth 12 & Rachael 10) 3 Females 15-under 20 (Margaret 16) 1 Female 50-under 60 (Rachel age 52) 0 slaves 2 agricultural workers Listed on the 1840 Census for Newton Co., MS, page 137: Robert Jones 2 males under 5 1 male 20 to under 30 (Robert age 28) 1 female 15 to under 20 (wife Mary abt 16) 0 slaves; 1 agriculture worker

Jones, Freeman (b. 1763, d. 26 AUG 1835)

   Note: In all court documents, pension records, land grants only the name
   FREEMAN JONES is used and no reference is ever made to him having the
   name THOMAS Freeman Jones. Thomas is not a name used in the Jones line.

   From the Mississippi Revolutionary Soldiers (DAR National Number 114040):
   "Service: He volunteered 1779 in the 10th N.C. Regt. and served under General McDowell and Colonel Andrew Hampton. He was in the battle of Eutaw Springs and at King's Mt. After the war he lived in Knoxville, Tenn., Bowling Green, Ky., Madison, St. Clair and Pickens Counties, Alabama. His widow lived for a time in Hancock County, Miss., but finally settles in Newton County

Pearis, Christian (b. 1767, d. 1852)

   Note: Wife: Christian Pearis (misspelled Paris/Parris/Parrish)
   Christian is buried in the Johnson Family Cemetery in Decatur, Newton County, Mississippi along with her oldest son ( Richard Jones), Richard's wife( Rachel Johnson), her daughter (Annie Lovy Jones), and Annie's husband (Henry H. Johnson). Exact location of grave in the cemetery is unknown.
   On a large memorial marker at the cemetery is written:
   Freeman Jones Sr. widow Christina Paris Jones came to Newton County Ms. to live
   after he died in Pickens County 8-26-1835. She died in 1850 in Newton County Ms.
   Christian is believed to be the daughter of George Pearis (#2) of Tryon County, North Carolina
   who had a sister named Christian. The Pearis family were Presbyterians  Her brother Capt. George Pearis (#3) of Pearisburg, Va. was also a hero of the Revolutionary War battle of Shallow Ford. George Pearis (#2) had two brothers Captains Richard & Robert Pearis who served in the
   French & Indian Wars and are mentioned in the writings of George Washington, but side with the British in the Revolutionary War.--Parris 03:37, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Note: Rutherford was created out

of Tryon in 1779.

And, on 21 October 1779 - Mary, again, purchased property - 200 acres on Main Broad River from - get this - ISHAM REAVIS! Witnesses: William Bryant, and HARRIS REAVIS [most likely a son... or could be a brother].

Remember Isham Raves was a witness to the 100 acres that George Paris gave to Freeman on 25 Dec 1786? Other witnesses were: John JONES [most like brother to Freeman] and Robert PARRIS Christian's brother]. NOTE JOHN JONES FREEMANS BROTHER.--Parris 03:43, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Are to beleive this another coincedence that 218 25 Jones John . . . . 1 . . . . 1 5 29 listed here next to by George Teater and his sons. John Jones the brother of Freeman Jones married to Christian Pearis listed here as Other Free meaning Indian with 29 negro slaves, just happned by another coincednce?--Parris 03:55, 9 December 2008 (EST)

FROM THE NEELY FAMILY FILES AND PEARIS FAMILY FILES William Neely (c1700-c1752) married Christian Pearis, daugther of George and Sarah Pearis of Frederick Co., VA. William in turn is believed to be the son of John Nealle who died in Frederick County and left a will.

William Neely and his wife Christian Pearis had children: John, George, Robert, Richard, William (married Sarah Morgan), Maj. Christopher (never married), Sarah (married John Porterfield), Margaret (married William? Lowery)--Parris 03:59, 9 December 2008 (EST)

So these are all a coincedence John Portefields wife Sarah Pearis Neely a 1st cousin of George Pearis and Robert Pearis just happened to come along along and buy George Teaters land. and this is all a coincedence that the Lowreys also George Pearis and Robert Pearis in laws just hapnened to be there all that time with George Teater are we expected believe these are coincendences 100s of them.

27.     Teaters Ferry (J-G) (RM 144.6)

This ferry was located at the mouth of Lick Branch on land originally surveyed for Green Clay, who acquired a number of sites along the Kentucky River. The Teaters, of early Garrard County, were an independent and daring sort and proved this by being among the first families to leave the safety of Downing Station to settle on their ow farm. .

So George Teaters 5th real estate transaction was with Green Clay the uncle of George Pearis Jr wife Rebecca Clay. All 5 of George teaters real estate transactions starting with Crab Creek late 1760s all the way to 1790 involved one man and his family George Pearis the elder brother of Richard Pearis. Every name almost every facet of George Teater life starting as teenager in the French Indian war was with this George Pearis and Richard Pearis and decdes after thier his death. Why because George Teater was married to Sarah Pearis a mixed indian daughter of George Pearis. Why where the Teater children censused as White? because it was the law. They were only 1/4indian had they have been 1/2 yes they may have been censused as indian or other free--Parris 06:21, 9 December 2008 (EST)
