One of the brothers went to Maryland. From him is where our line comes from. I have very little information. I can only trace as far back as my gg-grandfather, John Jefferson Teel b. 1841. We know that he could not read. We also know that Teel is not the original spelling of the name. Does any of this sound familiar? If so email me at hartmusic@hotmail.com.
