Biography by Professor Joseph M. Kellogg Philip Teter was born about 1743, probably in Orange County VirginiaHe also lived in Rowan County North Carolina, and removed, from thereas a young man with his brothers about 1760 and settled in AugustaCounty Virginia Philip Teter lived some ways farther up the NorthFork valley than his brother Paul, and nearer Justus Henkel and hisfamily. Indeed his home property seems to have adjoined that ofJustus Henkle. On Dec. 17, 1771, Philip Teeter had surveyed 118 acres, described asbeing "on the east side of the North Fork, above the head of DeepSpring" (Augusta County Survey Book 2. page 191) The survey plot is as follows: [omitted] Patent for this tract was granted him on March 1, 1773 (Virginia Landpatent book No. 41, page 133), and on the Land Tax lists forRockingham County he appears credited with this tract (given as 110,113 or 118 acres in different years. Philip Teter added to this land other tracts as follows: On January14, 1791, he entered and had surveyed 34 acres on the, east side ofthe North Fork adjoining his other land on the south and east, "justabove Big Caves". This had originally been part of a large tractpatented to Samuel Mark February 9, 1782 (Pendleton County Locationbook 1, page 13, and Survey book A, page 56). Patent for this wasgranted him on June 14, 1792. (Virginia Land Book No. 26, page 577). On February 7, 1791, Philip Teter bought, for 30 pounds, from AndrewJohnson and Elles his wife, 120 acres of land "on the east side of theNorth Fork just above the Deep Spring, namely the south end of a tractgranted to Johnson by patent of date March 1, 1773. Recorded January2, 1792 (Pendleton County Deed book 1, page 170). On September 10, 1793, he located 100 acres adjoining "around thesouthwest and north sides of his former land," between AbrahamHenkle's land above and Jacob Conrad's below - part of land warrantNo. 1507, dated Aug. 28, 1781. (Location book 1, page 51). This wassurveyed, as 95 acres, on September 26, 1793, as "lying and adjoiningaround his former land on the North Fork. The original warrant was toRichard White (Survey book A, page 191). This tract was patented toPhilip Teter on February 25, 1795 (Virginia Land Book No. 3l, page465). Later, on March 6, 1797, Philip Teter made a deed, for 100 pounds, tohis son Samuel Teter, for both the 34 acre tract patented in 1792 andthe 120 acre tract acquired from Andrew Johnson. In the deed the landis described as "on west side of North Fork mountain between Conrad &Phares' land. Philip Teter signed the deed by his mark. (Deed book2, page 525) These land transactions are reflected in the Land Tax lists ofPendleton County In 1789, (the first year of the lists for thecounty), Philip Teter has the 118 acre tract, assessed at a valuationof £29-10-0. This continues until 1794, when the 120 acre tract isadded, valued at £16-0-0 (evidently not as good land as the formertract, or without improvements). In 1795 the 34 acre tract is addedto his holdings, and in 1796, also the 95 acre tract. This latter isvalued at £9-17 11. In 1797 he is credited with all four of thesetracts, and then in 1798 the transfer of two tracts to Samuel Teter isnoted, and Philip is left with just the other two tracts (the one of118 acres and the second of 95 acres), and they so continue untilafter his death. In the list for 1815, the 118 tract is valued at$106.20, and the one of 95 acres at $47.50. Their location is placedat 12 miles northwest of the county seat at Franklin. The 118 tract was, very evidently, Philip Teter's homestead property.As stated it was located just above the head of "Deep Spring". Thislatter stream begins in a wonderful spring, so large it is almost likea small lake or pond. It must have furnished a fine and constantwater supply for that part of the valley - the northern part ofso-called Germany Valley. (see contour map under notes on GeorgeTeter, and accompanying photographs). [not available]. The "BigCaves" mentioned are of course the now well known "Seneca Caverns". Of course Philip Teter also appears in the Personal Tax lists ofRockingham and Pendleton counties regularly from 1782 to 1815inclusive. (Soon of course his sons appear and he is often calledPhilip Sr.) In the Census of Heads of families in 1784, for Rockingham County,Virginia, Philip Teter appears, with 11 white souls in his family, 1dwelling and 1 other building. On February 1, 1790, Philip Teter was appointed Road Overseer, in theplace of George Teter. (Court Minute Book, Pendleton County) On April5, 1790 he served on a Grand jury. (same) He appears on a list ofvoters at an election on the first Wed. in January, 1789, for aPresidential Elector, and again on February 2, 1789, for a member ofthe House of Representatives of the U.S. (Poll of election given inDeed book #1, page 57. Pendleton County). He also voted at anelection for Congress in 1793; for Senator in 1794, for the Assemblyin 1795, for the Assembly and for Congress both in 1797; and also forboth in 1801. (from a special book of election polls in courthouse ofPendleton County). Philip Teter's name of course appears among the signers of thepetition of October 19, 1787, resulting in the formation of PendletonCounty According to Morton, in his History of Pendleton County, Philip Teterso served in the Revolutionary War. (page 402 - in list of men knownto have been in service). Probably he was in his brother Capt. PaulTeter's company of militia. Philip Teter died probably in 1815, near the close of the year. Hisname appears on the tax list for that year (usually made out early inthe year), but not on that for 1816. His will is dated September 28,1813. In this, after the usual. introduction, he states that "my 2youngest sons Reuben and Moses" are to have "all my lands I nowpossess, namely, the old plantation whereon I now live," to be dividedbetween them as follows: etc., etc. "extending to Abraham Henkle'sland", etc. Reuben shall pay 15 dollars to his three sisters or theirheirs namely Sarah Helmick and Esther Teter and Elizabeth Judyequally"; Moses also to pay the same amount to the same three sisters.The rest of the estate was to be equally divided between all thechildren or their heirs at the discretion of the executor.
