"The earliest known record we have located on Edward Teague is contained in the hall of Records in Annapolis, Maryland in the "Index to Early Settlers" (1630-1680). Volume 2. This reads a s follows:
June 8,1675 "Eoderm Die (this day) Thomas Jones proved his right to two hundred and fifty acres of land for transporting himself, Edward Teage, John Edmonds, Sr., Rebecca Edmonds, John Edmonds, Jr. into this Province to in habit"

The question, where did Edward Teague come from? Was he transported direct from England, or was he brought into Maryland from the Eastern Shore of Virginia where some earlier Teagues had settled? The record doesn't say but in checking on Thomas Jones, the person who transported him into Maryland we find he, (Thomas Jones), was a mariner from Bristol, England, a trader and sheriff of Somerset County, Maryland. We belieive Edward was 15 when transpored into Maryland; that his year of birth was in the neighborhood of 1660. As to the names of his parents, the Association hasn't let up on the research. We have several good leads, but nothing definite that we can prove by the records.

The second record on Edward Tegg (as was spelled in these documents) relates to a Warrant Patent of 300 acres of land in Cecil County, Maryland., as laid out in two tracts by Thomas Coursey, Deputy Surveyor, - one for 130 acres dated August 25, 1695, and the other for 160 Acres dated August 26, 1695. Thes were recorded in the Land Office in Annapolis, Maryland. Ten."

Edward Teague
It has been suggested that Thomas Jones' ship may only have 'transported' its four passengers across the Chesapeake from Virginia in view (a) of the very small number of passengers and (b) the relatively low number of acres he received for the transportation.
Numerous passenger lists and land grants to ships' captains bringing immigrants both from England and Ireland have been checked and it appears that a 'grant' of 50 acres per head is the norm, which would suggest that Jones had brought his passengers across the Atlantic.

Comments: This was in a section labelled: "Entries returnable the Second Tuesday in Janry: Annoq Dom: 1687 " (of course, this would be the old style calendar when the new year began in March. Therefore Janry 1687 was after Sept 1687).

Edward Teague does not appear on a list of signatories of the inhabitants of Somerset County to a loyalty oath to William & Mary dated 1689 (so could he have left Somerset County between 1687-9?), although Thomas Jones does.
