Property in Russell County Virginia - Little Yadkin
I believe that Teague Quillin V and Peggy Nation were married in 1788 in Surry County North Carolina. They would have been very young. They owned property in Surry County in Sept 1790 as they sold a farm of 200 acre on Blews Creek to Michael Fain.
By 1791, they had purchased 4 tracts of land on the waters of Obey, Copper and Plank Creeks about 5 miles from Gate City in Scott County Virginia (back then it was Russell County). This is where they must have started their family.
In Dec 1812, there was a land grant of 91 acres on the Little Yadkin entered for the heirs of Teague on 6 April 1784.

Teague (1772) Quillin's 1st Wife
Margaret "Peggy" Nation
Peggy was born in Surry County, NC about 1772.. She married Teague in 1788 and they had three children: John W 1793, Nancy 1794, Thomas 1802.... and a Lawson researcher who helped me thought that they may have had another daughter, Anna. I'm not convinced of that. Teague walked away from this marriage sometime around 1813. He moved to Kentucky and married again.
Peggy is living with son John (my ancestor) in 1850. I am thinking that Anna is most likely a child of one of Peggy Nation's siblings. More research in needed to determine who she is.
The census was taken in early September, and I think Peggy died shortly afterwards... in Scott County, Virginia.
