Jenkins Teachman

Teachman

I am descended from Luke Nicholas Teachman (Left), born in Orange County, New York possibly between 1815 and 1820. This branch of descendants is fairly complete. How he fits in with the rest of the family... I'm not sure. The story I heard growing up was that two brothers came over at the same time. One (our branch) was a stowaway who married a halfbreed Indian girl. Photo of Margaret A. Teachman compliments of the Ada Teachman Duggan family. If you can help, feel free to email me.

A Letter From James H. Teachman

To His Nephew

Havelock, Nebr.

Feb. 20, 1931

Dear Nephew and Family, your letter of the 16th at hand in reply to the Family History of the Teachman's, will start with my Father and Mother and give all information I have. They were married in New Jersey where Leander and Joseph was born. Moving from there to Hancock, N.Y., Delaware Co. When Civil War broke out Father and Leander voluntered to enter war in the 50th N.Y. Engineers Corp. Father being discharged a year or so after for disability, while brother remained in Army all through the war. Joseph enlisted at 17 years old and served about one year when war ended. At that time the Railroads being built west of Chicago was circulating the news the great inducement for free homes in Iowa and Nebr. Leander being Mechanic in a Railroads employement wrote home advising to come to Nebr.

At that time we were living near Ithaca, N.Y. having moved from Hancock, N.Y. So May 1870 we sold out and came to Nebr. near Lincoln and took homesteads. Sister Mary had married John Mackey and gone to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Also Hannah was married to George Rhodes but came west only on visits (all have died) only ones left are myself, Luke and Sam.

Father Luke N. and Mother Margaret Ann, both born and raised near Orange, New Jersey. Mother in 1884 was visiting her brothers in New Jersey and the Teachman Estate still retained its name. I am enclosing a copy from Idaho, given me by Miss Corabelle Teachman. Ruth's (wife) relation being there got us in touch with each other which speaks for itself.

Hoping this answers your requests will close
