Biography by Professor Joseph M. Kellogg George Teter was born probably about 1740. (One descendant gives thedate of his birth as October 3, 1740, but with no authority.) Theplace was probably Orange County, Virginia, where his father wasliving at the time. He lived of course for some time in NorthCarolina, and then removed from there to the North Fork valley inAugusta County Virginia about 1760, together with his brothers Pauland Philip and the Justus Henkel family. His first appearance on Augusta County records was in connection witha suit in Court on September 21, 1763. The suit was brought againstJohn Walker by David Robinson. The plaintiff proved his account of 5pounds, ten shillings, and neither the defendant Walker nor hisgarnishee George Teator appearing, on plaintiff's motion attachment isawarded him against sd. garnishee returnable here next court.(Augusta County Court order books, Book 8, page 224) On August 19, 1766, George Teter and his brother Paul proved in Courtthe will of Felten (Valentine) Koil, to which they had been witnesses.This will was dated October 11, 1765. (Augusta County Will Book 3,page 452). In the settlement of the estate, dated September 9, 1766and recorded May 22, 1767 it is seen that George Teter owed the estatethe sum of 3 pounds. (same, Book 4, page 14). See the notes underPaul Teter for details of this will. Probably the Koil or Kyle familywas related to the Teters. In 1764 George Teter had a claim entered at the Augusta County courtfor building a fort, showing his activity during the recent French andIndian war. It was on Wed., March 25, 1767 that various claims fromAugusta County were presented to the Virginia assembly, among them"George Teter for work in building a Fort in 1764". (Journal ofVirginia House of Burgesses, Volume. 3, page 96). This very evidentlywas the Henkel fort in Germany Valley, (now Pendleton County), knownto have been built about that time. The story of this fort has beenwell presented in The Henckel Family Records. An interesting markerwas erected to mark the site of the fort and dedicated withappropriate ceremonies. George Teter became a large landholder in the region which is nowPendleton County, and also even over the mountains in what becameRandolph and Harrison counties. On October 26, 1767, George Teter had surveyed 120 acres said to be inthe North Fork bottom, above the Deep Spring. (Augusta C. Survey Book2, page 125). Survey plot for this land is as shown on accompanyingsheet. Patent for it was granted him on March 1, 1773 (Virginia LandBook No. 41, page 249). This tract became his homestead propertywhich he later willed to his son George Teter Jr. and which was soldby the latter to Isaac Phares before George, Jr's, removal to Indiana. On May 9, 1785 he had surveyed 194 acres, in two tracts, on the NorthFork. (Rockingham Survey book - record only, no plot). He obtainedpatents for both these tracts on July 17, 1787. (Virginia Land BookNo. 12, page 261 and No. 13, page 383). One tract containing 152acres was on the Timber ridge about two miles west of the North Fork.The other tract of 42 acres was said to be on the north side of theNorth Fork, adjoining the land of Andrew Johnson. On the Land Taxrecords for Pendleton County in 1789, (first year for that county),George Teter is credited with these two tracts, at an assessment valueof £20-5-4 for the 152 acre one, and £5-1-6 for the other 42 acre one,as well as with the other homestead 120 acres valued at £23-0-0.These values continue until 1794, when the last mentioned 120 acretract has an increased value of £32-0-0. On April 30, 1791, GeorgeTeter had 140 acres surveyed for himself (the surveying was done by"Jos. Henkle assistant to Moses Henkle") on a western branch of theNorth Fork called the Lick Run, on the south side of the Timber hills.(Pendleton County Survey book A, page 66). Patent for this tract wasgranted June 18, 1792. (Virginia Land book #26, page 578). At thesame time (April 30, 1791) was surveyed for him another tract of 85acres on another western branch of the North Fork called Rocky Run.(Survey book A, page 66). Patent for this was also granted on June16, 1792. (Land book #26, page 579). The land on Rocky Run was laterwilled by him to his sons George Jr. and Isaac. Later, MargaretTeter, (Isaac's daughter and heir) willed to George Jr. her share.The whole tract was sold by the latter on his removal from PendletonCounty The land on Lick run was deeded by George Teter and Margarethis wife, on May 4, 1795, for one pound to John Mitchell. (PendletonCounty Deed book #2, page 78. I have the original deed in mypossession. J.M.K. George Teter signed in German script. His wifeMargaret made her mark). On this same date (May 4, 1795) he deeded tohis son Paul Teter, for 6 pounds, the tract of 152 acres on the Timberridge about 2 miles west of the North Fork (mentioned above aspatented on July 17, 1787). Recorded same date. (Pendleton CountyDeed book #2, page 75). On September 27, 1793, George Teter hadsurveyed 35 acres (part of the original warrant to Richard White ofAugust 28, 1781) adjoining the east side of his own former lands bothsides of the North Fork. (Pendleton Survey book A. page 190). Patentfor this was granted March 7, 1795 (Virginia Land Book #31, page 417).On the Land tax books for 1796, these three tracts were values asfollows: The 140 acre tract at £12-15-0; the 85 acre tract at £7-1-8;and the last acquired 35 acre tract at £4-7-6. On March 23, 1794 he had surveyed 80 acres on the west side of theNorth Fork adjoining his former land on the west, and including themouth of Redmans Gap. (Pendleton Survey book A, page 239). Patentfor this was granted on April 17, 1798 (Land book #38, page 164).This tract first appears on the Land tax list in 1800, credited toGeorge Teter's Executors and assessed at £5-6-0. In the Pendleton County Location books he seems to have located 30acres on the east side of his former land on the North Fork onSeptember 30, 1793, (Location book #1, page 51), as well as 40 acresadjoining his former land on the west side above the Lick Run, on May10, 1793 (Location book #1, page 46), also 100 acres on the west sideof his former land at the mouth of Redmans Gap adjoining upper end ofJacob Conrad's land, on March 23, 1794 (Location book #1, page 58).Again in the Survey books he seems to have had 25 acres surveyed, asthe assignee of John Mitchell, which was in the Timber ridge at thehead of Ebermans and Hedricks runs and adjoining his own former landon the southeast side. Date December 17, 1796. (Pendleton Surveybook B, page 47). Plot of this survey: [omitted] These last mentioned tracts seem never to have been patented and wereprobably never legally "taken up" by him. This apparently completes the list of George Teter's land holdings inPendleton County. In Randolph and Harrison Counties, across themountains, he also acquired land, as follows: In 1781, George Teter was issued a certificate by the land commissionfor a homestead claim of 400 acres in Monongalia County, on theTygarts Valley River, "adjoining said river to include his settlementmade in 1772". (Haymond's History of Harrison County, page 51). On February 2, 1785, Joseph Friend, acting for George Teator, assigneeof Abraham Westfall, assignee of Henry Banks, entered, in HarrisonCounty 224 acres (as part of a Treasury warrant of 1000 acres - No.22998, dated December 24, 1783), on the west side of the Tygers Valleyriver opposite to a place formerly claimed by Elias Barker, includingan improvement of said Teator. (Harrison County Location book 1, page35). This tract was surveyed on February 5, 1785. The descriptionsays "beginning at 3 Sugar trees on the bank of said river and runningthence down the same with the meanders thereof" etc. The survey wasmade by Joseph Friend, assistant to William Haymond the countysurveyor. (Harrison County Survey Book 1, page 124). The plot is asfollows: [omitted] This tract was the land "in Barker's Settlement" deeded by GeorgeTeter to his son Jacob as follows: In Randolph County, on October 5, 1795, George Teter and Margaret hiswife of Randolph County to Jacob Teter of Randolph, for 50 pounds, adeed for tract of land of 224 acres described as that surveyed onFebruary 5, 1785, (as given above) is on record. (Randolph CountyDeed book #1, page 484. Also in Minute Book of Court #1, page 255,Randolph County) Again in Harrison County, on March 5, 1785, Abraham Westfall, actingfor George Teator, assignee of James Clark, entered 176 acres (as partof Land office Treasury warrant No. 13113 dated August 3, 1782), about6 miles below Barkers, on the dividing ridge between the river andSugar Creek. On the same date he also entered for George Teatoranother 100 acres (as part of the same warrant) on the first large runthat empties into the west side of Tygers Valley river below saidTeator's settlement (Harrison County Land entry book 1, page 38. Itis there marked "transmitted to Randolph". These entries are alsogiven on the Randolph County Land entry book 2, page 2, and theremarked assigned to Jacob Teter"). On the Randolph County Land tax lists (which begin in 1802) "Geo.Teter's heirs" are credited with only 46 acres, assessed at avaluation of $7.82. (Jacob Teeter has a tract of 224 acres valued at$26.00 and another tract of 200 acres at $76.00). The 46 acres ofGeorge Teter's heirs continues so through 1813. In Harrison County, on October 19, 1788, by deed from Benjamin Coplinand wife Deborah, "George Teater of Pendleton County" obtained, forfive pounds, a tract of land on Coplins Run, a drain of the BrushyFork of Elk River in Harrison County Acknowledged and recorded at theOctober court 1788. (Harrison County Deed book #1, page 89). Thiswas probably the land on the "Brushy fork of Elk" which George willedto his son Joseph Teter. The amount of this land was probably 200acres, since on the Harrison County Land tax lists, which begin in1796, "George Teters" is credited with 200 acres assessed at £39-3-4.In 1799 the amount is dropped to 100 acres at a valuation of $65.00,and so continues through 1805. George Teter of course appears in the Personal Tax lists forRockingham and Pendleton counties from 1782 (the first year of theserecords) to 1798 inclusive, as one of the largest tax payers in thedistrict. In the Census of Heads of Families in 1784, in RockinghamCounty, (pub. in the volumes of the first U.S. Census), he appears ashaving 11 white souls in his family 1 dwelling and 3 other buildings.In the Court Minute books of Rockingham and Pendleton counties thereare several interesting references to George Teter. On March 26, 1780, George Teter, together with Abraham Henkel andRobert Minnis were appointed to view and mark a road down the wholelength of the of the North Fork valley from the Augusta line to theline of Hampshire ( Rockingham Court Minute Book 1, page 61). Theyevidently took considerable time to do this for it was not until theCourt on August 27, 178l that the "Report of the viewers of a road upand down the North Fork returned and road ordered to be opened.Abraham Henkle to be overseer, together with the tithables in Capt.Johnston's company to work on it." In the long list of those from Rockingham county who made claims forfurnishing supplies (such as "diets," beef, bacon, oats, coarse linen,horse hire and pasturage etc.) to the army in the Revolutionary war,George Teter's name appears several times: At a court on September23, 1782, his claim dated Nov. 2, 1781 was allowed. This was for "11782, his claim dated May 17, 1782, for 86 lbs. "nt. Post" (or Pork?)at £1-5-0 per lb. wt." was also allowed. Similarly on September 23,1783, his claim dated June 4, 1782, for pasturing 15 horses for 1night at 4 d. each. In the lists of voters at election polls in Pendleton County(preserved in the clerk's files) it appears that George Teter votedfor Presidential elector on the 1st Wed. of January 1789, for memberof U.S. House of Rep. on February 2, 1789, for Senator in 1792, forAssemblyman in 1792, for Senator in 1792 [?], for Assembly in 1793,1794, 1795, 1796. Sometimes his home on the North Fork was thepolling place for that region. Because of his prominence in the community and his wide knowledge ofall the frontier country it is probable that George Teter took animportant part in the Revolutionary War, although no actual record ofmilitary service (other than furnishing supplies as mentioned above)has been found. He was probably enrolled in his brother Captain PaulTeter's company of the county militia. George Teter was among those "inhabitants on the several forks of theSouth Branch of the Potomac," in parts of Augusta, Rockingham andHardy counties who signed petitions asking for the formation of a newcounty in 1787. The particular petition from the settlers on theNorth Fork was dated October 19, 1787. (Virginia Legislativepetitions) The signatures on the original petition are not autographsbut are certified by the committee who presented it to Assembly.These petitions resulted in the formation of Pendleton County the nextyear, in 1788. In the new county, on September 1, 1788, George Teter was one of acommittee of 4 to "view the ground from Capt. Stratons to AndrewJohnsons and make report of the convenience or inconveniency thereofto the next court. On February 3, 1789, it was ordered that the election in the NorthFork district should be held at the house of George Teter (in theSouth Branch district it was to be at the town of Frankford, and inthe South Fork district at the home of Henry Swadley). The electionitself was to be held on February 14th. On July 6, 1789, George Teator was appointed overseer of the road inplace of Abraham Henkel. On April 1, 1793, George Teter was one ofthe grand jury. On February 5, 1798, an attachment was issued againstJacob Friend Sr., Thomas Collet, George Teter and Philip Teter, "forfailing to view a road agreeable to an order to them directed forpurpose." In the book of "Estrays" for Pendleton County it is noted that onDecember 25, 1792, "George Teter Senior. brought before me a certainstray red steer supposed a 2 yr. old," etc. appraised at £1-16-0.Sworn before Moses Henkle. (A stray Christmas present!) At a court on May 7, 1799 the settlement of the estate of George Teterwas presented by Paul Teter the Executor. The balance due was£388-16-10. George Teter died in 1798, sometime during the summer months. He hadappeared on the Personal Tax list for that year (usually preparedearly in the year), and in April of 1798, as aforesaid, he hadpatented land. On September 4, 1798, however, his will was proven incourt. This will, dated November 28, 1795, was proven by thewitnesses at a court held for Pendleton County on September 4, 1798,and the settlement of his estate was admitted to probate on May 17,1799. The will is as follows: LAST WILL OF GEORGE TETER In the Name of God, Amen.

Teste: A. Smith, C.P.C. (Pendleton County Will book #1, p. 202. From copy furnished me J.M.K. by clerk of court) The will is evidently not written in George Teter's handwriting. Hesigns it in German script, as shown by copy of signature on thePendleton County record book. An actual signature of his may be seenon the original deed from him to John Mitchell, dated May 4, 1795.

A Copy Teste. A, Smith C. P. C. per Lib. A, folio 217. The bond of Paul Teter (the eldest son of George) as Executor of theestate was dated September 4, 1798, and recorded on the same date.Isaac Henkel and Isaac Harman were his sureties (Pendleton County WillBook 1, p. 205). The appraisement of George Teter's estate is dated September 20, 1798and recorded on October 2, 1798. Adam Moser, Isaac Henkel and DanielMouse were the appraisers. The total amount was 388 pounds 16shillings 10 pence. It included 6 head of horses, 34 head of cattle,34 head of hogs, 4 head of sheep, cash notes and bonds (48 lbs),household goods, farming tools, blacksmiths tools, cyder works, andother ware of sundry kinds. It was a large estate for that time andplace. (Pendleton County Will book #1, p. 212). The sales bill of the estate was returned to Court and orderedrecorded on December 4, 1798 (same, p. 217). A copy from the originalpaper is here given. As can be seen the widow bought many of thethings. George Teter married Maryanna Margaret Henkel. She was born April 30,1741, and was the daughter of Justus Henkel Sr. and his wife MagdalenaEschmann. The date of the marriage was probably about the time of theremoval of the Teter and Henkel families from North Carolina toVirginia. (One descendant gives the date as December 24, 1763, butwith no authority). After the death of George Teter, his widowMargaret appears in the Personal tax lists for 1799 as the "WidowTeeter" with 1 male over 16 years of age (her son George, as the othersons Paul, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph appear separately. She alsoappears, (by name Margaret) in the lists for 1800, but is not presentin the lists after that date. Either she died about that time orceased to have a separate establishment and lived with some one of herchildren. Quite possibly she is the "Margaret Ditter" whose death isgiven on the records of the old Lutheran church on North Mill Creek in(now) Grant county. In the list of those who died is: Margt. Ditter -born December 9, 1738, died February 8, 1801. (This date of birthdoes not agree with that given by the Justus Henkel family records,but may well be a mistake in one place of the other. There appears tobe no other Margaret Teter in that section of the right age. Thischurch is where the Henkels and their relations worshipped). On the list of communicants in this church on June 24, 1798 given byRev. Hofman are: Margaret Dider Maria " Anna " This grouping of these three names may be a mistake of the copyist (aW. P. A. worker - notoriously inaccurate) for Maria Anna MargaretDieter - the one and only person. Corrected Pedigrees by Jeff Carr It was once widely circulated that George Dieter/Teter, the progenitorof the family in Pendleton, had once lived in Frederick County,Virginia on Opequon Creek. The well-known Rev. John Casper Stoeverbaptized several children of a George Teter at that place in the1730's; these were published in Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriagesin Southeastern Pennsylvania. Those baptisms belong to anothercontemporary George Teter that did live at that place. His descendantsmigrated westward along the Valley of Virginia, and were living in theNew River area by the Revolutionary War. The George Teter that was theancestor of the local family has been documented as having lived inold Orange County, Virginia, now Madison County, during the 1730's and1740's. He died there in 1744. Again, this has been correctly reportedin other publications such as the Henckel Bulletin and the TeterDescendants of Hans Jorg and Maria Dieter, by Eva (Teter) Winfield(1992). However, some readers of this journal may not have had accessto those works. This discrepancy also accounts for the intermixing of two differentbirthdates, April 6, 1730 and March 9, 1739 when referring to thisman. The correct date is the first one, and the second one refers tothis other George Teter born in Opequon Creek, Agusta County,Virginia. It should also be noted that the records of Trinity Lutheran Church inLancaster, Pennsylvania also record the baptism of Johann GeorgDieter, son of Hans Jerg and Mary Anna Margaret Dieter, thusconfirming the 1730 date to be the correct birthdae.
