Does anyone know anything about John Teetshorn who married Margaret B. Sax? John was born about 1792, and Margaret about 1798? They moved to Wisconsin with their children from Greene County NY. I did find this on the site: FREDERICK SAX of Catskill Will Probated June 1 1832 Heirs: Wife, Maria; Hannah, wife of Clark Lawrence; Margaret, wife of John Teetshorn. Executors: John, Paul and Jacob VanOrden. Witnesses: Isaac Dubois, Abraham VanVechten and Robert Dorlon. Any ideas about what Teetshorn might have been changed from? Otherwise it seems they dropped from the sky :-) Thanks for any help you can give me. I am trying to help my neighbor who is just beginning to do genealogy. Susan
