Creed Quillen, son of Teague VI

 Proof of Creed Quillen, the lineage of distant cousin Jenny Kidd. She has done excellent research, and she, too, follows my Teague theory (Teague 1615 < Daniel 1638 < Teague II 1669 < Teague III 1715 < Teague IV 1744 < Teague V 1772.

As I have said at the beginning of my Quillin research, there are two ways to trace this lineage. Some trees will trace our Teague V > Teague IV 1744 < Teague III 1715 < Thomas 1691 < Thomas 1669 < Daniel 1634 < immigrant Teague 1615.

EITHER WAY, IT ARRIVES AT THE SAME PLACE.

Yet ANOTHER Teague - Teague VI

Teague Quillin VI, son of my Teague Quillin V

 

Teague Quillin V married Mary Polly Sanders in 1819. They were married in Floyd County, Kentucky. They had 4 sons: Henry 1823, William 1825, James 1826, and TEAGUE QUILLIN VI. 

This is NOT my lineage because my ancestors were through Teague Quillin V and Margaret Peggy Nation. My line was through their son, John W Quillin who married Rebecca Lawson. 

I'm adding this information because of all the confusion with the name Teague.

I have DNA connections with the children of Teague VI and find it imperative to leave information about his marriage to Jane Gibson, as that is often confused with Jean, Jane...etc.

Jenny Kidd did much research on the ground in Kentucky and found substantial documentation. I will not delve far into this line but will leave the certificates that Jenny found. 

Teague VI was born to Teague V and Mary Sanders  in 1831. He was their last child before her death in 1826. Teague Quillin VI married Jane Gibson in Letcher County, Kentucky on 9 Jan 1848. 

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kyletch/marriages/groom.htm Leagin Quillen married Jane Gibson. Joseph Craft officiated.

They had 8 children. The first two were adopted sons, Asbury 1842, and William 1847. Their biological children were: Sarah 1851, Nancy 1853, Creed 1859, Abraham 1862, Rollia 1864, Teagne 1867. 

In 1850, Teague VI is 19 and married to Jane Gibson age 22. Her mother Sarah Gibson age 65 is living with them. Teague VI's father, Teague V age 78 is living next door with his young bride, Jane Collier.

Teague Quillin V Marries His 3rd Wife Jane Collyer

I found a website that stirred my interest because it had a third wife for Teague. I began to research and I believe it is true. Many family trees have his last two children as Mary Sanders' children, but I found a distant cousin, Jenny Kidd, who is a descendant through his 3rd wife. Jenny has actually gone to the area and the courthouse and documented this marriage. 

I would like to thank the Potter Family for their diligent research, as I would never have known this. At the bottom of the second screenshot, a name was cut off. in the 1850 Scott Co VA Census there was a James Palmore age 14 listed with John and Rebecca Quillen.

Teague V Quillen 1772, Margaret Peggy Nation and Mary Polly Sanders




The name James Palmore age 14 is cut off of the bottom.
