My Genealogy Hound

GEORGE TEEGARDEN, farmer, P. O. Higginsport, is a son of Calvin Teegarden, who was an early settler, born January 30, 1800, in Pennsylvania. He (Calvin) was a son of Jeremiah and Catherine (Thomas) Teegarden, who were of German extraction, and both natives of Pennsylvania, where they married, and early in the present century emigrated to Bracken County, Ky., where they both died, she in middle life, and he about seventy years of age. Of their children, Calvin was the eldest, and from early life matured in Kentucky, but on January 15, 1828, married Leannah Printy, of Lewis Township, Brown County, Ohio, and settled in Kentucky, but in 1833 came to Ohio, where they ever after remained, and where he died in April, 1871. He was a man whose constitution was equal to his energy, which carried him through many pioneer hardships. He was through life a farmer, having no aspiration to public office, and at his death he owned 150 acres of land, which was the result of his own efforts. Mrs. Teegarden was born in Kentucky October 14, 1810, but from infancy was raised in Ohio, and has since early life been a resident of Brown County, save the first four years of her united life. She was raised to the use of the spinning wheel and loom, of which her posterity know but little. She and husband had eleven children, viz., Mary, George, Sarah, Louisa, Rachel, William, Lewis, John, Nancy, C. Printy and Belle. The seventh and tenth are now deceased. George remains at home in singleness and farms the place.
