John Teague
It is known that a John Teague was transported to Virginia, arriving November 27, 1652. He was brought to that colony by Edward Revell, who inherited 500 acres in that area from his father Randall, who witnessed the grant of Wachawampe. John Teague shows up in Northampton, Northumberland, and Westmoreland Counties of Virginia shortly after this transport was recorded.

Again from the Somerset County Court Archives (Maryland):

"The Same Cort: Commrs as afore The Deposicon of Roger Patrick aged 35 years or thereabouts taken in Cort ye 10th: novembr 1675.

Comments: It would appear that the John Teague who arrived in Virginia with Edward Revell (son of Randall) and the (elder?) John referred to above in Somerset County, Maryland are the same person. On the same day's Court records in Somerset County, Maryland, there is an entry of:

David Brown is the Securitie for ye appearance of Randall Revell next County Cort:Acknowledgeth himselfe to Stand indebted unto the Lord Propty:in the Sume of ten pounds of Lawfull money of England

It has been suggested that Edward Teague was the son of this John Teague of Maryland, however the above extracts seem to disprove this.
As the 6 year old child has "no other relacon in this County", it would appear that her father, John Teague, was the John Teague Jr referred to in the first extract and that the male family line died out.
