Teal (b ca 1881) and Edna C. Gruber (b ca 1897). The 1920 Federal Census notes that Jacob's parents were born in NY though Edna’s were Germany and Denmark. In the 1920 Fed Census, Jacob Teal is listed as (age 39), Edna Teal wife (age 23), with Jacob’s brother George (age 26) and children Edna (age 5) and Archie (age 11). Due to the age difference between Jacob and Edna, and Archie’s age, I suspect that Edna was the second wife, although she could have had Archie at age 12. Curiously, Archie is shown as being born in Canada (?). Later Troy City Directory listings show Jacob living with Archie C/Charles A and wife Edna C. with daughter Edna M. in a separate household. Jacob apparently died about 1929. Brother George, though initially listed as a brushmaker, was later listed as a manager in the Troy City Directory. I wonder if Archibald Charles Teal / Charles Archibald Teal, Jacob’s eldest son may lend evidence that the Archibald Teal that also lived in Troy, NY and was a painter like Jacob, may have been Jacob’s father, and he named his son after him? Any assistance or connections are greatly appreciated.
