Notes

Capt Elijah Teague

"Samuel Teague was not originally a Quaker. He was reared near Black Jack, in Newberry District. Being a lad during the Revolution, he had escaped conscription by the Whigs, but was exposed to the cruelties of the Tories.
  One day they were approaching the house when a puncheon was lifted and he was hidden under the floor. The Tories came in and by their terrible demonstrations so frightened his sick father that he rose from his bed and ran across the adjoining lot. The Tories shot him down, hacked him over with their swords and so stripped the house of everything in the clothing line that Samuel had to take the shirt from his back to bury his father. Truly, these were times that tried men's souls. Samuel Teague, to avenge the murder of his father, to serve his country, or both, afterward enlisted in the service of the patriots, but to what extent I have never learned. He presumably served until the end of the War."
