Biography by Professor Joseph M. Kellogg Paul Teter was born in 1766, and probably he married and established ahome for himself in 1787. In the Personal Tax lists his name does notappear separately from that of his father in 1787 (taken early in theyear), but in the list for 1788 he does appear separately. Itcontinues to appear regularly from that date until his death in 1819.Paul Teter had been confirmed by his cousin the Rev. Paul Henkel onOct. 13, 1789. This Paul Teter evidently lived up in the Timber ridge country inPendleton County, on the Brushy Fork of Seneca, where he ownedconsiderable land. On Jan. 12, 1789 he located 60 acres on the eastside of Brushy run joining land of his father George Teter (PendletonCounty Location book 1, page 3). On June 12, 1789 he had surveyed 47acres on the east side of Brushy run, joining on the west side hisformer land in the Timber ridge (Pendleton County Survey book A, page15). He was granted a patent for this last 47 acres on Dec. 16, 1795. Considerably later, on Jan. 2, 1817, he had surveyed 23 acres onSeneca creek at the mouth of Roaring Spring. (Survey book C, page270). On May 4, 1795 he had received by deed from his father GeorgeTeter a tract of 152 acres in the Timber ridge about 2 miles west ofthe North Fork. (Pendleton Deed book 2, page 75). His father in hiswill also gave to Paul the "tract of land in the Timber Hills whereonhe now lives". (Probably this was the same land as that for which hereceived the deed from his father). On Aug. 2, 1803 he received a deed from John Wood and wife AnnaElizabeth of Randolph County for 34 acres on the Brushy run of Senecacreek below the Seneca licks (consideration $20.). Recorded Dec. 6,1803 (Pendleton Deed book 4, page 16). Also from the same people, onSept. 26, 1803 he got a deed, for $70, for a tract of 80 acres on thewaters of the North Fork adjoining his former land. Recorded also onDec. 6, 1803 (same page 17). On July 2, 1805 he had a deed fromMichael Dingler and wife Mary for a tract on the west side of Brushyrun; and on July 1, 1809 a deed from Joel Wood and wife Elizabeth ofPendleton County, for $400, for 160 acres between the North Fork andBrushy run, on the Timber hills at a place called Wolf Den. RecordedAug. 1, 1809. (Pendleton Deed book 4, pages 124 and 164). He also seems to have acquired land over in Randolph County On Aug.10, 1813, John Shook, and wife Eve of Greene County, Ohio, gave him adeed for $250, for 160 acres of land on the west side of the TygartsValley river, above the land of George Yeager. Recorded Sept. 1813(Randolph County Deed book 6, page 293). Then on July 1, 1815 WilliamWilson and wife Sarah of Randolph County made a deed to him, for fourpounds, for 24 acres on the west side of Tygarts Valley riveradjoining his former land. Recorded July 1, 1815 (same, book 6, page519) On the Land Tax books for Pendleton and Randolph counties, Paul Teterappears holding these various tracts. In the Pendleton list for 1814,when the location of the land is given, his six tracts are said to bein the Timber Hills, 19 miles northwest of the county seat ofFranklin. They had a total valuation (assessed) of $292.00. In theRandolph County Land tax books, Paul Teter "of Pendleton County"appears first in 1814 with the 160 acres on the Valley river, and in1816 the 24 acre tract is added. Paul Teter's name appears among the signers of the petition dated Oct.19, 1787, asking for the formation of a new county, which resulted inthe establishment of Pendleton County On Sept. 6, 1794, Paul Teter appears on that muster roll of themilitia for Pendleton County under Captain William Gragg, (Morton,page 400). He voted at the elections of 1797 and 1801. In hisfather's will, probated in 1798, Paul Teter was mentioned as theeldest son and was appointed as sole Executor. On Feb. 2, 1801, PaulTeter was "appointed surveyor of the road from the mouth of Brushy Runalong the Timber ridge to the plantation of George Teeter deceased,and the petitioners do assist him in opening it and keeping the samein lawful repair". Paul Teter died, probably in 1823, as his will was recorded on Sept.3, 1823. In this will, which was dated June 2, 1819, he mentions hiswell beloved wife Anna who was to have one-third of his estate whileshe remained a widow; to his son George he willed "the tract of land Ibought of William Coberley"; to daughter Elizabeth all the land downon the west side of the Valley river; to son Philip and daughter Leaha tract of land bought of Solomon Yeager on the west side of theValley river, a part of Burget's survey joining Coberley's land, to bedivided equally, Philip to have the first choice after the division;to sons Isaac and Paul all the lands down in the Timber ridge to bedivided equally, Paul to have the upper end and Isaac the lower, sonsIsaac and Paul to pay each of them $110 to daughter Mary three yearsafter they have full possession of this land.

He appoints his son Philip and son Isaac asExecutors. Dated June 2, 1819. Witnesses were George Teter, BazzleDay and James Skidmore. Proved by the first two of these and recordedSept. 3, 1823.

Paul Teter married, about 1787, Anna Wood. She was most probably thedaughter of Isaac Wood Sr., who lived also on Brushy Run. The Johnand Joel Wood who sold land to Paul Teter were probably her brothers.The 160 acre tract, which Joel Wood and his wife deeded to Paul Teterin 1809, had belonged to Isaac Wood as of a larger 260 acre tractpatented by him on March 6, 1795. Isaac Wood and wife Rachel haddeeded this property to Joel Wood on Oct. 4, 1802. (Pendleton CountyDeed book 3. page 464).
