Notes:

From Nancy Casteel
There are two Teaster/Tester lines. The Johnson County, Tennessee line descends from Robert Teaster and Mary "Molly" Stone. The Watauga Co., North Carolina line descends from Samuel Teaster. We believe that Robert and Samuel may be brothers but have found no proof of this.

Robert married Mary "Molly" Stone about 1801. Mary was born about 1780. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Patrick married Sarah Cook about 1796. Sarah was born on 20 Feb 1778 in Caswell County, , , North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
