Surnames: Teeple Deardorff Hoover Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mh.2ADI/618.2 Message Board Post: Both Peter and Christopher Teeple came from Stark County Ohio to Kosciusko County Indiana. Peter first in the late 1830's, then his twin brother christopher came in the early 1840's. Christopher married Sarah Deardorff from neighboring Tuscarawas (sp?) County. I believe Peter Teeple or his sons bought land patented by Mr. Hoover and still farm it today (but I haven't researched this fully.) Peter Teeple is my ggg-grandfather. His original land patent says Starke (sic) County Ohio. The Land clerk in La Porte spelled it like the Indiana county. Peter's father, Isaac Teeple of Washington County, PA, patented land in Stark County OH in 1826. The Deardorff (Christian, I believe) patented land in Kosciusko, County, OH. Paul
