Martin Van Buren Teal served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. He was a member of Company F. 40th Georgia Infantry. He drew a pension in his later years of life for his services from the state of Arkansas. He attended the reunions of former comrades and was a member of Camp John H. Morgan No. 448 of Confederate Veterans. (John Hunt Morgan (1825-1864, Confederate cavalry General in the American Civil War. In 1862 he began a series of famous raids in which his troopers attacked union units, trains, and supplies from Iuka, Mississippi, to Columbia, Tennessee. During the summer and fall he ranged through Kentucky and made sorties into Ohio and Tennessee. He was appointed Brigadier General in December, 1862 and the next spring he began a new series of raids that penetrated into Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. Captured and imprisoned (July, 1863) after a wild pursuit that ended near New Lisbon, Ohio he escaped the following November and was placed in command of the Department of Southwest Virginia. In September 1864 he was surprised and killed near Greenville, Tennessee.) 1865 July 2-26; raid of Confederate Joyhn Hunt Morgan into Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. One of the several cavalry raids by Morgan throughout the war.

I have sent 5 documents on the Teals because I wanted to share with you what info I had. I wanted to create some more interest in this family. If ANYONE has ANY documents that would give us some possible leads, please help us by sharing what you have. We as Teal researchers would be very appreciative. Jane Foley

ARKANSAS 1911 CENSUS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS The Public Acts of Arkansas No. 353 in 1911 provided for an enumeration of living Confederate Veterans. The census was to be made by the tax assessors of each county. The original 1,757 questionaires which were completed are on file at the Arkansas History Commission in Little Rock. Not all veterans filled in the questionaire and not all counties participated. Enumerators were paid 10 cents for each veteran enrolled; not much of an incentive to try to reach all veterans. The 44 counties participating were: Arkansas Ashley Benton Boone Bradley Carroll Chicot Cleburne Cleveland Columbia Conway Crawford Desha Drew Faulkner Franklin Fulton Hempstead Howard Independence Jefferson Lafayette Lee Little River Logan Marion Miller Newton Quachita Perry Phillips Pop Prairie Saline Scott Searcy Sebastian Sevier Sharp Union Van Buren Washington White Yell Some questionaires give much information, others not so much.

MARTIN VAN BUREN TEAL The following is from the De Queen Bee, in DeQueen, Arkansas dated December 22, 1916. "OLD SOLDIER WRITES LETTER" Sends Old Ballot Box that was used when there were only 17 voters in Bear Creek Township, Arkansas. "I was born in Cambellton, Georgia, May 11, 1843. My father moved to Paulding, (Co. in GA) a few years afterwards. At the age of 18 years, I was taken out of school and put in the army and served until the close of the war in 1865. I entered in the 40th Georgia Regiment, Company F., under Captain Middlebrooks. Afterwards I fought under General Johnson in Kentucky until the army was divided. Then I was sent to Vicksburg, Mississippi and fought under General Pendleton. The Battle of Vicksburg lasted 47 days and nights. We surrendered July 4, 1863. Then I was paroled home. I stayed at home a few days and then went back and was placed under General Wheeler's command. We fought through North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and nearly to Atlanta, Georgia. I fought seven days and nights near New Hope Church within seven miles of my father's home. When we retreated to Atlanta, I was captured by the enemy and taken back down the Cumberland River. AT the mouth of the Cumberland River, I got away from the enemy. I worked my way back up the river within 40 miles of Nashville, Tennessee. The war ended the following May 1865. I reached home in the same year. On October 1, 1865, I was married to Mrs. Sarah F. Goodson of Paulding. We lived in Paulding County two years. In 1868, we moved to Arkansas. We only stayed here four months and them moved back to north Mississippi. In 1871, we moved back to Arkansas and have been living here in Bear Creek Township every since, except for two years we lived in Clear Creek Township. We have had 14 children. Twelve of them lived to be grown and married. I now have three boys and four girls living. My wife died June 14, 1906. On November 15, 1908, I was married to Mrs. Ida M. Demis of DeQueen, Arkansas. I am sending you the poll box that was used here when I first came to this place. The voting precinct at that time was at the Teal schoolhouse, about three miles from where DeQueen now stands. When this box was used, there were only 17 voters in Bear Creek Township. If any of the old Confederate soldiers that I was with in the war should see this, I would be glad to hear from them. Yours truly, M.V. Teal Route 2 DeQueen, Arkansas"

Here is a letter of interest to some of you Teal/Teel Researchers. December 3, 1937 Mrs. J. S. Kirkpatrick Belle Meade Drive Nashville, Tennessee (Reference) BA-J/EEL Emannuel Teal-R.10440 Dear Madam: Reference is made to your letter in which you request information in regard to Jacob and Emanuel Teal or Teel, of North Carolina, Levy Theal, of the Virginia Line and William Teal of Virginia. There are no claims for pension or bounty land on file based upon the military service in the Revolutionary War of a Jacob, Levy or William Teel, Theal or Teal. Such claims are the source of the data furnished by this office. It is suggested that as a possible means of obtaining information in regard to the military service of those soldiers, you apply to The Adjutant General, War Department, this city, who is custodian of military records. The record of Emanuel Teal follows as found in the claim for pension, R. 10440, based upon his military service in the Revolutionary War. The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Emanuel Teal are not shown. Emanuel Teal married Patsy McHenry. The marriage bond was dated September 3, 1818, in Anson County, North Carolina. The date and place of birth of Patsy are not shown. The soldier died in Henry County, Georgia, January 1, 1830, as stated by his daughter or January 10, 1833, as stated by his widow. October 16, 1855, at which time she was aged seventy-one years and a resident of Carroll County, Georgia, Martha (as she signed) Teal, applied for the pension that might have been due on account of the service of her husband, Emmanuel Teal, in the Revolutionary War and alleged that her husband enlisted in Pitt County, North Carolina, and served in Captain Hogan's North Carolina Company; she gave no dates of service but alleged three years service. Her claim was not allowed as she failed to furnish proof of srvice as required by the pension laws. The date of the widow's death is not shown but she was deceased in 1859. The only name of a child of the soldier that is given is daughter, Mary Northan, who, in 1868 (1863?) was aged about seventy-four years and resided near Atlanta, Georgia. The name of her husband was not stated. In 1904, Nathaniel Teal, of DeQueen, Arkansas, stated that he was a grandson of the Revolutionary War soldier, Emmanuel Teal and in 1905, Allen Teal, of Pittsburg, Texas, stated that he was, also, a grandson. Neither gave names of their parents. Very truly yours A. D. Hiller Executive Assistant to the Administrator.

A copy of the following article was found on the front page of the Wadesboro weekly newspaper dated 21 Jan 1932.... BELIEVE IT OR NOT 107 Years-Old-Man Rides Mule Back to Funeral of His Son, 83. Mr. Bernard Moore, in his capacity as assistant to Funeral Director H. H. Leavitt, on last Monday had charge of a most remarkable funeral in Chesterfield County. Burial was at Mount Level church. The dead man was Alexander Melton, 83 years old, and he died last Saturday. The remarkable feature of the affair is that Melton's father, Allen Melton, is alive at the age of 107 years, and he showed his stamina by riding mule-back several miles, perhaps ten, to the funeral. One or two brothers of Alexander Melton are still living, and they are older than was Alexander. Old man Allen Melton lives in Chesterfield County.Mr. Moore has sent a statement of the facts to "Believe-it-or-Not" Ripley. Does anyone have any information on Allen Melton or his family. If not I'm going to claim him as my ggggrandfather because I think I'm going to have to live that long just to find my ancestors in Chesterfield County.
