Note: TSOURCE FOR TIS INFORMATION IS MR GERALD TEASTER HTTP//FREEPAGES.GENEALOGY.ROOTSWEB.COM/~TEASTER/SAMUEL; TEASTER(1)SAMUEL TEASTER AND HIS WIFE MARY DANIELS TRAVELED FROM SOUTH CAROLINA INTO THE MOUNTAINS OF N. C. ABOUT 1790. IT IS NOT CLEAR WHERE SAMUEL WAS BEFORE HE MOVED TO SOUTH CAROLINA . THE BOOK ( A HISTORY OF WATAUGA COUNTY ) STATES THAT SAMUEL CAME TOWATAUGA CO. N./ C. VICINITY FROM SCOTLAND BEFORE 1840 . HOWEVER NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THIS IS TRUE.samuel and mary had been among the first settlers to enter into the mountains in that part of north carolina . they had settlet in the vicinity of the watauga river and one of its tributaries cove creek . his family members eventually lived in ornear the communites of valle crucis and sugar cove . the family name teaster was sometimes spelled tester. there are records with the parents name speeled teaster and the children tester.THERE IS A TESTER MOUNTAIN LOCATED JUST NORTH OF VALLECRUCIS AND IS SHOWN ON GOVERNMENT TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS. WATAUGA COUNTY WAS FORMED FROM THE DIVISION OF ASHE COUNTY IN 1849 AND SOME TEASTER RECORDS ARE LISTED AS ASHE COUNTYAT THIS TIME NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT MARY DANIELS AND HER PARENTS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERSSAMUEL WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN BORN AROUND 11755. THE BOOH (THESE ARE MY PEOPLE) GIVES AN INTERSTING STORY ABOUT HOW SAMUEL DIED . IT SAYS THAT IN 1821 HE WAS COMING HOME FROM A SHOOTING MATCH AFTER DARK. IN THE DARKNESS HE ACCIDENTLY WALKED OFFA CLIFF BESIDE THE WATAUGA RIVER AND WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. AFTER SUFFERING FOR THREE DAYS HE DIED. HE MUST HAVE BEEB ABOUT 65 WHEN HE DIED.SAMUEL IS OFTEN CONFUSED IN BOOKS AND STORIES WITH HIS SON SAMUEL (2) WHO MARRIED MARY FOSTER. AS A CONSEQUENCE SOME BOOKS AND STORIES ATTRIBUTE CHILDREN TO THE WRONG SAMUELTHE KNOWN FAMILY TRAIL BECOMES VERY FAINT BEFORE SAMUEL(1). THE FOLLOWING FACTS HAVE BEEN FOUNDTHROUGH RESEARCH BUT AWAIT FURTHER STUDY TO SEE HOW THEY RELATE TO OUR FAMILY FOR CERTAIN .SAMUELS FATHER IS IDENTIFIED AS NATHANIEL TEASTER IN THE BOOK (APPALACHIANMEDLEY) BUT THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED IN OTHER SOURCES.A NATHANIEL TEASTER WAS IN THE EDGE COMB COUNTY N. C. MILITIA IN THE 1750S . THERE WAS A NATHANIEL TEASTER INTHE 1790 CENSUS OF ROBESON COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA . THERE WAS ALSO A SAMUEL TESTER LISTED IN THE SAME CENSUS. ALSO NATHAN TESTER--WILLIAMTESTER--SAMUEL TESTER WERE GIVEN A HUNDRE ACRE LAND GRANT IN ROBESON COUNTY N. C. IN 1790. ALL THESE POSSIBILITIES MUST BE SORTED OUT TO SEE HOW OR IF THEY ARE CONNECTED TO SAMUEL (1)THE 1820 ASHE CO CENSUS LISTS SAMUEL TEASTER AND MARY DANIELS AS HAVIN EIGHT CHILDREN. ALL OF THEM ARE NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME . THE NAMES OF TWO OF HIS SONS ARE KNOWN . THEY WERESAMUEL (2) BORN ABOUT 1794JOHN (1) BORN ABOUT 1802THE NAMES OF FIVE OF HIS DAUGHTERS ARE KNOWN THEY ARENELLIE BORN ABOUT 1802LUCINDA ( LUCY)NANCY ELIZABETH BORN ABOUT 1808SALLY BORN ABOUT 1808 RACHEL BORN ABOUT 1810THE DESCENDANTS OF SAMUEL AND MARY INTERMARRIED WITH MANY OF THE EARLY SETTLERS OF WATAUGA COUNTY N.
