THE TEETER FAMILY HISTORY

 

 

            We have been unable to find the parentage of Coonrod Teeter, his grandson Henry (son of Henry) said that Coonrod’s father was Henry who came from Germany with two brothers. The fact that Coonrod named his first son Henry (according to the custom of the times) indicates the truth of this family record.

 

            There are facts that indicates that the Immigrant Teeter probably came to New York City with the Palatine immigration of 1709 and 1710 and came to Pennsylvania over the “Old Mine Road” from Kingston, NY to the Delaware Water Gap, built before 1700 by the Dutch East India Co.

 

            Coonrod Teeter settled in Springfield Township, Bucks County, PA, buying 20 acres of land in 1747 and 20 acres more in 1755. In the same county and in the adjoining township, Henry Teeter, the probable father, bought 275 acres in 1730. Henry Ditterly C. Teeter of Richland Township, Bucks County, PA was one of 32 who petitioned for a road to Philadelphia in 1730. Henry Teeter and Peter Teeter of Milford Township, Bucks County, PA applied for naturalization in 1734 “so their children might inherit the land.” Peter Teeter bought 150 acres in Bucks County, PA June 26, 1734

 

            Michael Teeter bought 150 acres in Bucks County, PA September 23, 1738. The Pleasant Valley Tavern property, which adjoined the original purchase was patented to Michael Ditthart (Teeter) December 16, 1759 and was kept as a tavern by the family until 1783. There are interesting records of this quaint tavern. One recorded at the Bucks County Historical Society states that General Lafayette, after being wounded at the battle of Brandywine, when enroute to Bethlehem, staid for some time at the tavern.

 

            In the bedroom assigned to General Lafayette and in the barroom there were boards with inscriptions in rhyme painted in German text. These boards have been preserved. The translation of the one in the bedroom reads—

 

                        In this chamber let me rest, By shouts and

                        wailings undistressed. This is the place for

                        My repose, until at length mine eyes I close.

 

 

In the barroom—

 

                        My friend, I entreat thee, excuse me from trusting, since for me and

                        thee to “borrow brings sorrow. Oft have I trust given, e’en up to this

                        day, but when I want money, no one will pay. Therefore in the future

                        from trusting I’ll cease, E’en though for this reason I may thee

                        displease. For it is much better at first to offend, than at last to lose

                        both money and friend.”

 

            The records of the Springfield Church, Bucks County, PA indicate that Michael Teeter was a close relative of Coonrod Teeter. Michael Dirstein (Teeter) of Bucks County was naturalized April 13, 1743.

 

            In the same region, there was an Ellas Teeter who bought land in 1744 and died in 1760 leaving a widow and seven children. This is all we have found on the early Teeters in Pennsylvania.

 

            Coonrod Teeter, together with Michael Butts and Andrew Raup bought 100 acres of land in Hamilton Township, Northampton County, PA June 12, 1764. This was known as the McMichael’s Creek property and was only a few miles from Stoudsburgh, PA. about the time of the marriage of Coonrod’s eldest son Henry this land was partitioned and Coonrod gave his share to Henry. Coonrod also owned 243 acres on the Paulings Kill at Knowlton, NJ near the Delaware Water Gap, to which he moved before 1767 when his daughter Elizabeth married Abraham Smith. Coonrod died there in 1771 before signing the deed giving the McMichael’s Creek property to Henry. This was legally transferred to Henry July 31, 1784, when Coonrod’s widow and Henry’s brother and sisters deeded it to him. Coonrod and his copartners in the McMichael’s Creek purchase were brothers-in-law. Michael Butz’s wife Elizabeth Margaret, Andrew Raup’s wife Charlotte Margaret, Coonrod Teeter’s wife Maria Catherine were sisters, daughters of Jacob and Cecilia Weaver (Weber) whose only children were four daughters. The other daughter Maria Sarah married Phillip Jacob Overbeck. The father Jacob Weaver died in 1744.

 

            No record has been found showing how Coonrod acquired the New Jersey property. His sons Conrad and Ellas bought it from the heirs November 20, 1798, paying the remaining seven heirs 770 pounds Sterling. Coonrod’s will required each son to stay and work the home property until her was 23 years of age.

 

            During the time before the Revolutionary War, the settlers were frequently subjected to Indian raids. One terrible massacre occurred near the McMichael’s Creek property. The house on the Paulings Kill property was equipped with tight blinds for protection against Indians. This farm may have been the site of an Indian Village, as every spring when the fields were plowed, many Indian relics are found. During the Revolutionary War these farm building were burned by the British.

 

            We will now follow the fortunes of Coonrod Teeter’s children. Henry Teeter who lived on the McMichael’s Creek property was the eldest son. He kept a tavern and in the September session 1778 of the Shrievalty Court of Northampton County, PA he was fined 5 pounds for keeping a “tipping house without a license.”

 

            A number of friends and neighbors, perhaps Henry himself, as he was a Ranger of the Frontier during the Revolution, accompanied General Sullivan on his Indian raid into the “Lake County” of central New York State. They were impressed by the fertility and beauty of the country. Being disturbed by the threatening Pennamlte Rebellion In Pennsylvania, they decided to migrate to New York State. Henry chose a site in 1719 at what is now called Lansing, on the east shore of Cayuga Lake, which was called “Tichero” by the Indians. Lansing is about 5 miles north of the city of Ithaca. Henry sold his McMichael’s Creek property October 30, 1792 for 600 pounds Sterling and moved his family to their new home the next spring, 1793. They followed the old trail cut for Sullivan’s Army in 1779, from Stroudsburgh, PA to Waverly, NY. From there they followed Indian trails to the head of Cayuga Lake where Ithaca is now located. Here a crude scow was made on which their household goods were transported to a point near Ludlowville, while the farm animals were driven along the shore of the lake. The goods were unloaded from the scow and moved on a crude sled to the site chosen. Henry lived on one of the most sightly spots on the east side of Cayuga Lake, which would indicate that he had a keen appreciation of nature’s beauties.

 

            Very near this site was one of the over night camps made by Sullivan’s Army in the famous Sullivan Raid of 1779 on the Indian towns of Central New York. The journal of an officers mentions this spot as on a “pleasant hill near a fine creek.” The land was cleared, a tavern was built, and here the family lived for several generations. Early church services and baptism were held in the home until the church was built in 1803.

 

            These early pioneers required salt and the Teeter family used to obtain in from the local Indians. An Indian woman would take a kettle and go north about a half day’s journey, returning with a kettle of warm salt. Another settler said that sometimes the Indian would return with brine and boil it down at the settler’s home. When the Indians were asked where they got the salt, they replied, “The white man will never find it.” It is interesting to note that, while there are no outcroppings here, salt is now mined all along the region.

 

            In the spring of 1804, the tavern burned and Henry’s wife was consumed in the flame. Henry was undoubtedly injured as he died about six months later. They are buried in the Asbury Cemetery in Lansing, Tompkins County, NY

 

            Henry Teeter held the town offices of Road Commissioner. Fence Viewer and Pound Master each year until his death.

 

            Coonrod’s (Teeter) second son, Jacob settled in New Jersey near his father’s farm and died there in 1786. His widow remarried Peter Suasman and they with Jacob Teeter’s children followed Henry Teeter to the “Lake Country” about 1800.

 

            The third son of Peter married first Christina Rice and after her death married her sister Margaret. The girls were daughters of Jacob Rice, who was Peter Teeter’s stepfather. After Jacob Rice’s death, Peter Teeter and his family moved to Lansing, Tompkins Count, NY where Peter bought land February 23, 1795.

 

            The fourth son, Michael married Maria Catherine (Congle) Keefer, the widow of George Keefer, a British soldier, by whom she had George born November 8, 1773, Jacob born 1775 and Mary who later married Eliezar son of William Lundy of Lundy Lane, Ontario, Canada. Michael and Maria Catherine had eight children between 1781 and 1793 born in Sussex County, New Jersey.

 

            In 1790, the two Keefer boys, George and Jacob, walked to Canada to establish their right to land in Canada due to their father’s service in the British Army. These boys 15 and 17 years of age encountered many difficulties on their journey of over 400 miles through the wilds. To avoid pursuit, they nailed the heels of their boots to the toes to make their footprints appear to be going in the opposite direction. Each of the Keefer children was granted 200 acres of land by the Canadian Government. Later in life, George Keefer played an important part in the building of the Welland Canal.

 

            In 1774, Michael Teeter and his family moved to Canada, settling south of Bearnsville, Ontario. The twins, about four years old, rode in pack baskets on either side of the horse, which the mother rode carrying the baby in her arms.

 

            One of Michael’s brothers walked from New Jersey to Canada to visit. He carried a piece of side meat for emergency rations and had a small piece left when he got there. He was described as a short thick set man of great strength. This tale is told by the family, Michael had a saw mill and in the yard was a log so heavy that none of the men could lift one end. The visiting brother lifted one end and held it while four men danced on it.

 

            Land was cheap in Canada at this time. One of Michael’s sons was offered 100 acres of land in exchange for his log cabin. He refused the offer. Another son was given 100 acres for helping to survey a township. Michael Teeter was such a good joker that the forth generation of his descendants repeat his jokes. His great grandson recalls this one told by Michael on himself. “I am an American Soldier in the Revolutionary War and four of my sons, born American citizens, were British Soldiers in the War of 1812.” He joked about this probably to cover the hurt. Two of these sons were killed in the war.

 

            The fifth son Conrad, after selling his share to Ellas, moved to Lansing and was buried at Lake Ridge, Tompkins County, NY

 

            The sixth son Ellas bought out his brother Conrad’s interest in the home farm in Knowlton, NJ March 22, 1797 for 500 pounds Sterling. Ellas always remained there. Two of his sons and one of his daughters moved to Tompkins County, New York.

 

            Coonard’s (Teeter) eldest daughter Elizabeth married Abraham Smith in New Jersey. During the Revolution, they fled from the raid crossing the Delaware River in the winter time. They were upset and as a result of the exposure in the Icy water their four daughters died. Abraham Smith died in 1799. The widow took her children and joined the majority in Tompkins County, New York.

 

            The second daughter, Marie Catherine, married John Diltz in NJ and lived in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvia. John Diltz ran the ferry across the Delaware River near the Water Gap for many years.

 

            The third daughter Sybilla, married in New Jersey and lived there all her life.

 

            The fourth daughter Charlotte married Daniel Britton in the Hamilton Church at McMichael’s Creek. He died in 1803 and she took her children to the “Lake Country.” After some years they moved to Virgo County, Indiana, where she died.

 

            Coonrad Teeter raised a family of patriotic children. Revolutionary service has been found for six sons and his two sons-in-law, Abraham Smith and Daniel Britton.

Notes from Teri Dimmett - TJDimmett@aol.com

 

Henry was a Revolutionary War soldier, a private out of Pennsylvania. I searched for military records to prove Henry was in the Revolutionary War. I found only a Hendrick Teeter & Hendrick Jr. Teeter in the war, both listed with the Dutchess Co. NY Militia, but no Henry. If anyone has such record, would you please share? Thank you. This information has been found and verifed by Laurie Dunham. Thanks

Notes for ABRAHAM/ABRAM SMITH:

Notes by Norene Turcsik 1/19/07 - From The Teeter Family Genealogy by Paul Teeter January 1967 - on file at The History Center, Ithaca, NY

 

Abraham Smith was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.  He was a lieutenant captain in a company command by his brother, Captain John Smith. He was in the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey under the command of Generals Lee and Washington. During the War, a raid by the British and Tories caused the Smith family to flee across the Delaware River in a small boat to Pennsylvania. It was during the winter, the boat capsized and their four daughters died from the exposure to the cold water. After the death of her husband, Elizabeth and her children moved to the Lake Country in Tompkins County, New York. Three of her sons were Jacob, Isaac and John. Elizabeth married (2nd) John Gibbs of Lansing in Tompkins County. He died in 1817. As the former widow of Abraham Smith, Elizabeth applied in 1837 for a Revolutionary War Pension. A Pension was certified to her September 29, 1842 for $100.00 per year plus 1,150.00 in arrears, #W-17013 and/or #W-17014, Washington, DC

Notes for CATTREAN "CATHERINE" RICE:

Notes by Norene Turcsik 1/19/07 - From The Teeter Family Genealogy by Paul Teeter January 1967 - on file at The History Center, Ithaca, NY

 

Updated dates of birth for all children. I had year listed. Everything matched so I updated the month and day.

 

Catherine married (2nd) Peter Sausman,

 

A deed in Deed Book V. page 269, in the Tompkins county Court House dated 10-13-1832, for land in Lot 87 in Milton is signed by Catherine Sausman, Jacob Sausman and wife Sally Ann, David Sausman and wife Susan of Westfield, Medina County, OH and John Myers and wife Sally.

Catherine and Peter Sausman together with her Teeter childred moved to the "Lake Country" in the early 1800's. The only Teeter in Cayuga County in the 1800 census is Henry from Northampton County, PA. Jacob Teeter's son, Henry and his wife, Margaret, are reported to have accompanied them as bride and groom.

 

Catherine Sausman, widow of Jacob Teeter, is buried in Asbury Cemetery, South Lansing, Tompkins Co., NY The inscription on her gravestone follows: CATHERINE, WIFE OF PETER SAUSMAN DIED SEPTEMBER 29, 1836 86 YRS. 1 MO.

 

       

Children of JACOB TEETER and CATTREAN RICE are:

                   i.    MARGARET4 TEETER.

21.             ii.    HENRY TEETER, b. 1773, Knowlton, Sussex, NJ; d. July 13, 1844, Liberty Township, Butler County, Ohio.

                 iii.    ELIZABETH TEETER, b. June 14, 1774, Knowlton, Sussex, NJ; d. Bef. 1800; m. JACOB CONGLE.

Notes for JESSE ALLEN:

Notes by Norene Turcsik - from Paul Teetor A Teeter Family Genealogy 01/23/07

He was a soldier of the Revolution.

Has birth listed as February 24, 1796. He would have only been 10 when he married Marie Catherine so I believe the year is incorrect.

 

                  v.    HENRY CONRAD TEETER, b. December 25, 1777, Knowlton, Sussex, NJ.

 

Notes for HENRY CONRAD TEETER:

Notes by Norene Turcsik - from Paul Teetor A Teeter Family Genealogy 01/23/07

Baptized February 22, 1778 in Knowlton, New Jersey. This is all the information that is available regarding Conrad. A deed in the Tompkins County Court House recorded in Deed Book U, page 371, dated July 9, 1832 records the sale of land in the Town of Enfield part of Lot 71 of the old Town Ulysses from John Mushback (Jr.) to Conrad Teeter. This Concard probably isn't the son of Jacob. (Paul had is the son of Jacob, but we are talking about the son of Jacob, so I am assuming it's a typo)
