Karen, I've skimmed quickly thru "Gleanings of Pioneer History" by W R Jones. Not sure where your problem is with what he says. Probably missed something by being in such a hurry. For source material for the Teaff family, the compilers of "Genealogies of Marion Co Families 1811-1900" used MCAR census records for 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880; "Marion Co AR 1890" by Helen McMindes; "Pioneers and Pioneer Families of the Ozarks" by Earl Berry & Lyle Wood; "Cemeteries of Marion Co" by Lester & Marian Burnes; "Marion Co Marriage Records 1887-1905" by Marian Burnes & Vicki Roberts; Mountain Echo newspaper microfilm; and Vernon L Teaff, 1419 Shalimar Circle, Russellville AR 72801. Briefly, this is some of the data concerning the children of Nimrod Teaff contained in "MCAR Families 1811-1900." The MCAR pioneer Nimrod Moore Teaff b OH 1803 d Pyatt MCAR 1852 m MCAR 1831 Nancy B Magness b SC 1814 d Pyatt MCAR 1888. Both bu Patton Cemetery MCAR. Settled in Blythe Township bef 1840.

David Solomon Teaff b MCAR 1851 d Bell Co TX 1923 m 1870 Clarinda Robertson b MS 1854 d Bell Co TX 1944.

Mary Jane Teaff b Pyatt MCAR 1861 d Benton Co AR 1888 m 1881 Francis Miles Smothers [he m 3 times] b MCAR 1858 d Taylor Co TX 1934.. Hope this clears up your confusion. If not, let me know.
