Some descendants of Henry Teed,
of Wisbech St. Peter, Cambridgeshire,
and his wife Mary Madgham
Although I am not myself descended from the Teeds, so much material on this family came to light during the course of my researches on the affiliated Flints, that it seemed a shame not to preserve it for what it is worth, even if the work has scarcely been updated since the 1980s when it was originally performed. My adoptive mother’s father’s mother, Mildred Mary Flint, who was born in Wisbech, had a Teed stepmother,[1] and these notes arose from my as-yet unsuccessful efforts to discover the relationship — which I now believe to be at most a distant one — between her and Mary Rose Teed, wife of George Flint, who belonged to the branch of the family treated here. I am no longer actively researching this family, but plan to keep these notes up as well as I am able, and will be grateful for notice of any corrections or additions. Some of my files are not currently accessible to me, which has left some questionable points unresolved; but I thought it unwise to delay the appearance of the work any longer. I have prefaced the main part of the genealogy with an ancestor table for the children of Henry Teed and Mary Madgham, showing in outline the results of all my researches on the subject, as it is unlikely that I will publish anything further on this matter.
The Teed family, of Wisbeach (now Wisbech) St. Peter, Cambridgeshire, had several main branches, one of which was that founded by Thomas Teed (ca. 1758-1834), who married Susannah Allen and had nine children, of whom I give but a brief preliminary sketch.[2] The name Jordan was persistently used as a middle name among his descendants, and perhaps reflects the name of a family allied by marriage with the Teeds. He had five sons who left issue, thus becoming ancestor of a considerable proportion — perhaps a majority — of the Teeds found in Wisbech in the early-to-mid-nineteenth century, although they were later to be outnumbered by those of the prolific William Andrew Teed (1804-1878), a shoemaker, at least six of whose sons left posterity.
One of Thomas’ sons was the Henry Teed who is the main focus of our account. As perhaps befits the offspring of a sailor, his descendants were remarkably peripatetic, ending up in Australia, Canada, and the United States within a few generations; indeed his son Henry, born in England, subseqently lived in all three places. Had it not been for the pioneering efforts of an earlier genealogist, it is most unlikely that this family could have been reconstructed at this late date. I allude here to the work of Annie G. (Allen) Teed, wife of George Clark Teed, of Thornbury, Ontario, whose huge Teed chart prepared in the 1970s is remarkably well-informed and must surely incorporate information received from children of Henry Teed himself.
Although relating only to the direct descendants of Henry Teed and his wife Mary Madgham, a bible record made by Mary, evidently begun in 1847, has also been of considerable importance in disentangling this family. The bible was owned in the 1980s by Mrs. Mary Southgate, of Wisbech, while some sheets removed from it long ago were rediscovered by Neville Palmer, and, I understand, restored to it through his agency. Thanks is due to both of these persons for providing copies of the material.
Information on this family has been contributed by a large number of persons over the course of many years, and I hope I have not inadvertently omitted any names from the list. In approximately the order in which contact with them was made, they are: Jean (Ketteringham) Matthews, Neville Palmer, Mary (Elam) Southgate, Nora (McGuire) Teed, Margaret R. Philpott, Marjorie (Flint) (Moore) Higgins, Mary Catherine (Flint) Crandall, Anne N. Philiben, Rachel Ann (Cawthorn) McClean, Carol Beth (Hennessy) Novak, Bonnie Tidd Miller, Carol (____) Cato, and Leslie Shephard. I have also corresponded with a number of other Teed descendants whose ancestral lines I have been unable to incorporate here; of these, Michael R. Tedd, of 107 Forest Gate, Ansey, Leicester LE7 7FJ, supplied a valuable sheet of addenda after seeing an earlier draft of this page.
I am also grateful to a number of officials for their courtesy in providing copies of documents: Pauline E. (Teed) Bambridge (incidentally a descendant of a brother of my adoptive mother’s Teed step-ancestress, although this line has no proven connection to the present Teed family), of the Wisbech Register Office; Miss P. Banham and Mrs. Gill Rayment, of the Wisbech and Fenland Museum; and Mr. J. Michael Farrar, of the County Record Office, Cambridge, and especially Mr. John Orange, Curator of the Library and Church Records of the Parish Church of St. Botolph, Boston, Lincolnshire, whose assistance on the Teeds and Madghams developed into a long correspondence during which he delved on my behalf into records far beyond his official purview. The finishing touches on the puzzling Madgham ancestry — which although it did not belong to me had over the years become too intriguing to ignore — were made on our behalf by Kay Priestley, then of Langley, Berkshire and now of Portsmouth, Hampshire, a professional genealogist of great capability.

1. Thomas Teed, of Wisbech St. Peter, Cambridgeshire, baker, b. ca. 1758, d. 1834, between 7 Nov. (when he made a codicil to his will) and 20 Dec. (when his will was proved). This man was quite possibly the son Thomas mentioned in the 1798 will of William Teed, of Wisbech, yeoman, which also mentions a wife Mary (who had a daughter named Mary Strong and must have been married previously), and sons William and Samuel.[3]
As “Thomas Tidd” he m. 1 Jan. 1782 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Susannah Allen, living 1801, but not mentioned in her husband’s 1834 will. He signed the register, but she made a mark.
Thomas Teed’s will, dated 28 Nov. 1832, and attested by mark rather than signature, with codicil dated 7 Nov. 1834, was proved on 20 Dec. 1834 “by the oath of Thomas Teed, one of the executors … power being reserved to Henry Teed, the other executor.” The will and codicil read, in part (with punctuation added for clarity):
This is the last will and testament of me, Thomas Teed the elder, of Wisbech St. Peters in the Isle of Ely, yeoman. I give, devise, and bequeath all … my messuages, cottages, lands, tenements, hereditaments, and real estate whatsoever and wheresoever … and all my monies … and personal property and effects whatsoever … unto … the use of my two sons, Thomas Teed and Henry Teed…. To my son John Teed £15, to my son Hugh Teed £20, to my son James Teed £10, to my son William Teed £10, to my grandchildren Sarah, Caroline Elizabeth Chance, Rosina Maria Chance, and Arabella Elvina Louisa Chance, £20 each, to my grand-daughter Susan (the wife of William Nixon), late Susan Chance, spinster, £10, to my grandson John Chance £5, and to Jonas Allen, of Emneth, £5….
Codicil, dated 7 Nov. 1834
Whereas since the date and execution of my … will, my son William therein named departed this life, now I do hereby … give and bequeath the like legacy of £10 to Margaret Teed, his widow…. I revoke the legacy of £15 by my said will given to my son John, and in lieu thereof I give and bequeath … the sum of £1 only…. And whereas I am desirous of making provision for the family of my said son Henry Teed in the event of his departing this life in my lifetime or afterwards, before the trust of my said will shall have been fully performed now I do hereby declare that on such event happening … my said son Thomas Teed, who will thereupon become the sole trustee and executor of this my will … shall stand possessed of and interested in the moiety or equal half-part of my said residuary estate … upon trust for all and every the children of my said son Henry now born or hereafter to be born, in equal share, to be paid to them on their respectively attaining the age of 21 years, with benefit of survivorship between and amongst them, the interest of such moiety of the said residuary estate to be paid to Mary the wife of the said Henry Teed for their maintenance and education.[4]
The information that Thomas Teed was a baker comes from the record of the second marriage of his son, John.
Known issue (mainly per will):
- John Teed, of Wisbech, b. 1784-85, d. 5 Nov. 1861 at Wisbech, aged 76 years. He m. (1) 15 July 1808 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Elizabeth Ashley, b. ca. 1782, d. 29 Nov. 1840 at Wisbech, aged 58 years. The witnesses at their marriage were Osborn Savage and Rose Mary Teed. He m. (2) 29 Sept. 1847 in the Parish Church of St. James Clerkenwell, Middlesex,[5] Rebecca Hammant, b. ca. 1802 at Wisbech, who d. 28 Nov. 1869 at Wisbech, aged 66 years, daughter of Jeremiah Hamman, a porter. The witnesses at their marriage were George Flint and Elizabeth Caroline Nash.
In the baptismal record of his daughter Marianne (1816) he is described as a porter and laborer, living at Horsefair. In that of his daughters Louisa (1820) and Sarah (1821) he is called a constable, of Horsefair, and in his death record he is called the “parish constable.” The recently-widowed John Teed, a publican, was enumerated with three of his children in the vicinity of Norfolk Steet, Wisbech, in the 1841 census.[6] The record of John Teed’s second marriage at London in 1847 calls him a publican, of 12 St. John’s Street Road, and names his father as “Thomas Teed, baker.” If he and his second wife remained at London at all, they were certainly back at Wisbech in 1851, and were ennumerated in the census of that year, which calls him a publican, of Little South Street.[7] In the 1861 census he is called a proprietor of houses, and was living at 6 Ryan Street.[8]
His wife’s death record calls her “widow of John Teed, constable.”
Known issue (all baptisms in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech):
- Henry Teed, bapt. 14 April 1809, d. 19 Aug. 1853, aged 45 years, the record of his death calling him a beer house keeper. He was living unmarried with his father in 1841, when he was a fishmonger. He is listed in an 1850 directory as a beer retailer on Norfolk Street East, and appears, unmarried, in the 1851 census, in which he is called a “publican lodging-house keeper.”
- William Teed, bapt. 15 April 1815, said to have d. 1880. He was living unmarried with his father in 1841, when he was a “jobber.” He is said to have m. Elizabeth Wilkinson.
- Susannah Teed, bapt. 15 Oct. 1812. She is probably the Susannah Teed, spinster, of Wisbech, who m. 27 Feb. 1832 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Henry Ashley Miller, as one of the witnesses was a Henry Teed. We have not found this couple in the 1841 census of Wisbech.
- John Teed, bapt. 28 Nov. 1814, d. 1815.
- Marianne Teed, bapt. 28 June 1816, living 1843. She m. before 1841, William Wilson, of Timber Market, jobber, living 1843. They were enumerated on the same page of the 1841 census as her father, William being again called a jobber.[9] Known issue:
- John Wilson, b. 1835-36 (aged 5 in 1841).
- Elizabeth Teed Wilson, bapt. 31 March 1841 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech.
- William Teed Wilson, bapt. 16 July 1843 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech.
- John Teed, bapt. 30 Nov. 1817, d. 1818.
- Louisa Ashley Teed, bapt. 2 Feb. 1820; no longer living with her father in 1841. She is said to have m. Charles Lee, but we cannot find such a couple in the 1841 census of Wisbech.
- Sarah Teed, bapt. 11 Dec. 1821, d. 1832.
- Eliza Teed, b. 1824, living with her father in 1841. She is said to have m. Thomas Witherspoon.
- (position uncertain) William Teed, b. say 1787, d. v.p. between 28 Nov. 1832 (the date of his father’s will) and 7 Nov. 1834 (the date of its codicil). As he left a widow Margaret, mentioned in this codicil, it may be fairly surely inferred that he was the William Teed who m. 4 Oct. 1815 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Margaret Sneeth, d. 13 Nov. 1856, aged 74 years, who in her death record is called “widow of William Teed, coal porter,” no street address being given. Admittedly this occupation does not accord well with those given in the baptismal records of the three children of a William and Margaret Teed who were baptized in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, between 1816 and 1819, and we place them here somewhat tentatively. As there was in Wisbech a nearly contemporary William Teed, baptized 17 Jan. 1791 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, and mentioned as a minor in the 1798 will of his father William Teed, aforesaid, it is possible that this other man may have also had a wife Margaret, and been their father, particularly in light of the connection which the widow of the son William Henry had with this other family.[10] A Margaret Teed, widow, aged 76, born at Marley, Northamptonshire, is listed in the 1851 census at Horse Fair.[11]
Possible issue:
- William Henry Teed, bapt. 2 Nov. 1816 (the record calling the father a mariner, of Old Market), d. 12 Jan. 1843 at Wisbech, aged 27 years.[12] He m. (as her first husband) 7 Sept. 1837 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, (Mary) Ann Seaman, b. 1816-17, daughter of Daniel Seaman, of Wisbech, fishmonger, presumably the latter’s only known wife, Eleanor ____. She is called Ann Seaman in their marriage record and in the 1851 census, but Mary Ann Seaman in the birth record of their daughter Margaret (1837). William Henry Teed is called a porter, of Timber Market, in this same record, and his father is given as William Teed, of Wisbech, porter. According to Margaret R. Philpott, of 12 Stanhope Road, Darlington, Durham DL3 7AR (1988), William Teed and Ann Seaman had their first child prior to their marriage. They appear to have been absent from Wisbech at the taking of the 1841 census, in which their first two children William (aged 5) and Margaret (aged 3) appear with Ann&rsquos; parents at Norfolk Street West.[13] Soon after, according to Mrs. Philpott, “The father [William] died and she remarried [after the taking of the 1851 census] another Teed called Pilate (a mariner), and Ann, Pilate, and [their] new family moved to the north-east of England, where their descendants have lived ever since.” Mrs. Philpott later added that Pilate and Ann Teed are found in the 1881 census of Hetton-le-Hole, Durham, and was able to identify Pilate Teed as born 6 March 1829, son of Samuel Teed and Mary Harrod (who were married 19 Sept. 1826 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, with William and Margaret Teed as witnesses). Samuel Teed was perhaps the one of this name bapt. 25 May 1795 in St. Peter’s Church, son of William and Mary (____) Teed, and mentioned as a minor in his father’s 1798 will, previously mentioned.
Known issue, all born at Wisbech:
- (illegitimate) William H. Seaman, b. ca. 1836, d. 10 Oct. 1895 at London. He is called William Teed in the 1841 census. He m. 3 Feb. 1862 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Mary Ann Smith, b. 1833-34, daughter of James Smith, “late of Wisbech, labourer.” His marriage record, which calls him “labourer, of the parish of Poplar, co. Middlesex,” erroneouly refers to his father as “William Teed Seaman, late of Wisbech, porter.” According to Margaret R. Philpott, “William moved to London, and married and had several children, of whom the eldest was called Rosetta Ann (my great-grandmother). She married Charles Daniel Demer, and they had three children. Whilst these children were small, they moved to Darlington, where Charles supervised the erection of steelwork for the rebuilding of Bank Top railway station (Darlington’s main station). After the station was complete, Charles and family stayed in Darlington.”
- Margaret Ann Teed, b. 9 Nov. 1837 at Walsoken, living 1851.
- Alfred George Teed, b. 14 Aug. 1840, d. by 1851, as he is not listed with his mother in the census.
- Charles Herbert Teed, b. 1 Sept. 1842, d. 19 Jan. 1843, aged four months, the death record calling him “son of William Henry Teed, deceased.” His death occurred only seven days after that of his father.
- Matilda Teed, bapt. 8 Aug. 1818, the record calling the father a sailor, of Horsefair; she d. by 30 June 1819, when another daughter was given the same name.
- Matilda Teed, bapt. 30 June 1819, the record again calling the father a sailor, of Horsefair; she d. by 11 Aug. 1820, when another daughter was given the same name.
- Matilda Teed, bapt. 11 Aug. 1820, the record calling the father a bargeman, of Horsefair. In 1841, despite their youth, she and her sister Emmeline are found in their own household, on the Old Horse Fair, Wisbech, in the 1841 census, in which Matilda is called a dressmaker.[14] She m. 5 Jan. 1849 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Robert Silliss, Jr., b. 1825-26, son of Robert Silliss, “formerly of Wisbech, late of Downham, gunsmith.” At the time he was a stockdrover, of Horsefair. As the bride gives her age as 23 in the record, she was either lying, or the Matilda who was born in 1820 died and there was yet another daughter of the same name. Her father is therein called “William Teed, late of Wisbech, porter.”
- Emmeline Teed, b. 1822-23, living with her sister Matilda in 1841, when she was a shoe binder. She m. 10 Aug. 1845 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Richard Daniels, Jr., b. 1822-23, son of Richard Daniels, of Wisbech, laborer. The marriage record gives the bride’s father as “William Teed, porter,” not stating whether he was living or deceased.
- (perhaps) John Teed, b. 1829-20, who m. 25 Dec. 1831 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Elizabeth Baxter, b. 1829-30, daughter of John Baxter, “late of Walsoken, garderner.” At the time of the marriage he was a gardener, of Blackfriars Road, and the record gives the groom’s father as “William Teed, late of Wisbech, porter.” We have not found this couple in the 1841 census of Wisbech.
- Rose Mary Teed, bapt. 18 Dec. 1789 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. v.p. 1832. She m. (as his first wife) by 1813, Robert Chance, b. ca. 1789 at Wisbech, living 1851. He m. secondly by 1833, Mary [Ann?] ____, b. 1812-13 (aged 38 in 1851). He is listed in the 1841 census as a ship’s carpenter, of Canal Street, Wisbech, with his much younger second wife, and three children who must have been by her.[15] In 1851 he is again called a ship’s carpenter, of Horse Fair, and appears with Mary and four children by her, as well as his daughter Caroline by his first wife, and the latter’s illegitimate children.[16]
Known issue (per will of their maternal grandfather):
- Susannah Chance, b. 1813, living 1837. She she m. before 28 Nov. 1832, William Chapman Nixon. The baptismal record of their children John (1833), Rose (1834), and Robert (1837) all call him a baker, of Horsefair.
Known issue (all baptisms in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech):
- John Chapman Nixon, bapt. 22 March 1833.
- Rose Mary Chance Nixon, bapt. 12 Dec. 1834.
- Robert Chance Nixon, bapt. 10 Nov. 1837.
- John Chance, not found at Wisbech in the 1841 census.
- Sarah Chance, not found under her maiden surname at Wisbech in the 1841 census.
- Caroline Elizabeth Chance, b. 1823-24 at Wisbech. She is not found in her father’s household in 1841, but was living unmarried with him in 1851. By Thomas Platt, of High Street, carver and gilder, b. 1814-15 at Sheffield, Yorkshire, she had three illegitimate children, frankly acknowledged as such in their baptismal records. From the time they baptized their fourth child, born in 1852, they represented themselves as a married couple and gave the children the surname Platt, though whether they were in fact married has not been determined. Thomas Platt’s occupation is consistently given as guilder in the baptismal records, but they later show him at Market Place in (1848, 1854, 1855, 1857, 1860) and at Little South Street in 1863. A note in the baptismal record of their son Thomas (1858) says that the father was “admitted into the church” on 13 Aug. 1860. Thomas and Caroline Platt are listed in the 1861 census of Wisbech, in which he is called a carver and gilder, of 26 Market Place.[17]
Known issue (all baptisms in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech):
- (illegitimate) Martha Platt Chance, bapt. 1 Dec. 1843, d. by 1846, when another daughter was given the same name.
- (illegitimate) Martha Emily Platt Chance, bapt. 16 Jan. 1846, living 1861.
- (illegitimate) Elizabeth Platt Chance, bapt. 13 Aug. 1848, living 1861.
- Thomas Platt, b. evidently ca. 1850, bapt. 11 April 1855, buried 13 Jan. 1857. We assume the baptism of this child was considerably delayed, else on chronological grounds he must have been a twin to one of his siblings.
- Julia Platt, b. 8 Aug. 1852, bapt. (several years later) 16 Aug. 1857, living 1861.
- Elvira Louisa Platt, bapt. 2 June 1854, d. by 1861.
- Thomas Platt, b. 5 April 1858, bapt. 5 Sept. following, living 1861.
- William Thomas Platt, b. 1 March 1860, bapt. 13 Aug. following.
- Alfred Platt, b. 15 Jan. 1863, bapt. 19 June following.
- Rosina Maria Chance.
- Arabella Elvina Louisa Chance.
- Thomas Teed, Jr., bapt. 23 March 1793 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 27 Dec. 1854 (from note on the registed copy of his will, agreeing with his death record), aged 63 years. He m. (1) 9 Jan. 1816 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Mary Ann Sargison, who d. in 1820-31. He m. (2) 3 Jan. 1831 in the parish church of Boston, Lincolnshire, Mary Ann Danderson, bapt. 19 April 1801 in the parish church of Boston, living 1861 but probably the Mary Ann Teed, widow, who d. 21 June 1863 at Wisbech, aged 62 years, daughter of John Danderson, of Boston, by his wife Emma Dent. Thomas Teed is called a baker, of Church Lane, in the baptismal records of his sons Thomas (1817) and Joseph (1820), and in the birth record of his son John (1844). But in the baptismal record of his daughter Emma (1834) he is called a toll-bar keeper, of Lynn Road, which would seem too incongruous were this child Emma, aged 7, not found with him in the 1841 census. In the baptismal record of his son John (1836) he is called a baker, of Elm Road. Thomas Teed was one of the executors of his father’s 1832 will and one of his two principal heirs. He appears with his family at Canal Street in the 1841 census, in which he is called a baker.[18] Canal Street in the 1851 census of Wisbech, his occupation being given as baker.[19] His own will, dated 26 June 1854, and signed with an actual signature, was proved 5 May 1855.[20] It names sons Joseph Teed and Frederick Danderson Teed as executors, mentions sons Thomas Teed and John Danderson Teed, daughter Emma Ward and her children (not named), and “my dear wife Mary Ann,” bequeaths “a new suit of black cloth clothes … to my nephew George Teed,” and leaves property to children of his son Thomas, namely Robert Sargison Teed, Thomas Teed, Jane Teed, and Emma Teed. He also mentions “tenements in the Horsefair in Wisbech … occupied by Henry Teed and others,” probably referring to his brother. His will mentions numerous properties of which he was landlord, including several lying in Emneth, Norfolk. His widow appears at 5 Canal Street in the 1861 census, in which she is called a “proprietor of houses.”[21]

The witnesses were Josh. Teed and Elizabeth Warner. He is also called a mariner in the birth record of their first child. and in the baptismal record of his daughter Jane (1844), while that of his son Robert (1845) calls him a sailor, of Horsefair.

At the time of the marriage, and also at that of the baptism of their daughter Mary Ann in 1856, he was a gardener, of Walsoken. Emma appears as the head of a household in the 1881 census, with a niece, Mary Ann Teed, possibly the daughter of her brother Frederick.

He m. 23 March 1869 at Tamut, New South Wales, Eliza Johnson, b. 1849 in Rutlandshire.[35] Their eldest child was:

- Alick Nimmo Cato, b. 1911.
- Frederick Hugh Teed, bapt. 16 Dec. 1838 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, living 1851 (aged 12), when the census enumerator, apparently mishearing his name, calls him “Hardwick Teed.” It was correctly given as Frederick in the 1841 census.
- James Teed, bapt. 11 Aug. 1799 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 1799.
- Sarah Teed (twin), baptized 3 Aug. 1800 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 1800.
- Susannah Teed (twin), baptized 3 Aug. 1800 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, of whom no further record has been found. She does not appear under her maiden name in the 1841 census of Wisbech.
- James Jordan Teed, bapt. 13 Dec. 1801 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 1869. we have not found him in the 1841 census of Wisbech. He was perhaps the James Teed, a widowed agricultural laborer, who in the 1861 census is listed as a “pauper inmate” of the Wisbech Workhouse, although if so, his stated age of 63 years is slightly inflated.[37]
2. Henry Teed, of Holbeach, Lincolnshire, and of Wisbech St. Peter, Cambridgeshire, son of Thomas Teed and Susannah Allen, of Wisbech, was b. in the latter place in 1793-94, and d. 1 Sept. 1868, aged 74 years, at Horsefair Street, Wisbech. He m. (by banns) 7 March 1821, in the parish church of Boston, Lincolnshire, Mary Madgham, bapt. 15 May 1800, d. 1 March 1885 at Wisbech, aged 84 years, daughter of John Madgham, of Boston, mariner, by his wife Anne Coulson.[38]
Apart from the mention of him in his father’s will, no contemporary record of Henry Teed has been found prior to his marriage in 1821, although the approximate place of his birth, and the place thereof, may be inferred from census records. At the time of his marriage he and his wife were both single, and resident in Boston; she signed her name to the certificate but he attested with a mark, and the witnesses were John Madgham and Elizabeth Madgham. His occupation is not there stated, but in the baptismal records of their children he is called a “mariner” (1822, 1824) and a “master mariner” (1826, 1837), while the 1839 baptismal record of his son John and the 1849 marriage record of his daughter Susannah call him a “sailor.” The 1861 census gives his occupation as “master mariner, merchant service.”[39]
His death record calls him “formerly master mariner [in the] merchant service.” Family tradition plausibly maintains that he “worked on boats between the ports of Boston and Wisbech.”[40]
Henry Teed and his wife lived at Boston from the time of their marriage until some time between 1834 and 1840, when they removed to his birthplace if Wisbech St. Peter, Cambridgeshire. They appear at Old Horse Fair in the 1841 census of Wisbech, in which Henry is called a sailor.[41] Mary (Madgham) Teed appears with some of her children in the 1851 census, living on Horse Fair, with no occuation being given for her.[42] It would appear that her husband was away at the time of the enumeration, although nothing is stated in the matter. He appears as the head of their household, at 44 Old Horsefair, in the 1861 census, and, his wife having perhaps been absent at the time, he was erroneously assumed to be widower.[43] But in fact she greatly outlived him, being recorded at the same address in the 1871 and 1881 censuses, with enough distinguishing information to establish her identity beyond any doubt, as when in 1881 she is called a “mariner’s widow.”[44]
The possibility that Henry Teed could have had two wives named Mary, the first of whom really died before the taking of the 1861 census, is eliminated by the absence of any record (which has been carefully sought) of a second marriage. Moreover, his widow of 1871 was of the same age as Mary (Madgham) Teed and was in custody of their granddaughter Mary A. Pear, and her death record, in which she is called “Mary Teed, widow of Henry Teed, master mariner,” gives her age as 84 years, again agreeing exactly with the birthdate of Mary Madgham.
This couple’s first six children were born at Boston between 1821 and 1835, and their first five, at least, were baptized in Boston parish church. They took their children Anne, Susannah, Henry, Charlotte, and Sarah, at least, to Wisbech in 1834-40; their daughter Mary Rose had already married by this time but came later with her husband to Wisbech in 1843-49. The daughter Sarah appears, unmarried, in 1851 as a visitor in the household of her married sister, Mary Rose (Teed) Flint. The twin daughters, Emma and Lucy, born in 1837, presumably died young, as they do not appear with their parents in census records. The youngest children, John and George, were born at Wisbech in 1839-43 and were living with their mother in 1851. There were thus at least these ten children, but may have been others.
Mary (Madgham) Teed’s bible record, begun in 1847, gives the births of fourteen children of various surnames, born between 1852 and 1859, with a few deaths. At least one page may be lost, as the births cease abruptly at the end of a page, and no notes of marriages survive. The births listed are those of fourteen children whose parents are not named. All but three may be placed with certainty, and two more with considerable probability, as the bible-record writer’s grandchildren, the remaining being a boy named Henry Child, b. 26 Oct. 1854, whose affinity remains unexplained. His mere presence in this list of births, and the fact that he was named Henry, makes it tempting to suspect he may have been the son of a Teed daughter, but Henry Teed’ children are quite closely spaced from the time of his marriage until the birth of his daughter Sarah Elizabeth in 1834, and while the possibility exists that he could have had another daughter born say 1836-37 who married young, no such daughter is found in their household at the taking of the 1851 census. The question of Henry Child’s parentage might perhaps be settled by consulting civil birth records, which is something we have not yet done.
Known issue:
- Anne Teed, bapt. 21 May 1822 in Boston parish church, living 1861 but probably dead by 1871, when her daughter Mary was living with Anne’s mother. She m. 4 Sept. 1855 in St. Pancras Old Church, London,[45] Thomas Pear, of London, carpenter, b. ca. 1822, living 1860 but probably dead by 1871, son of William Pear, who was deceased at the time of Thomas’ marriage. She was living unmarried with her mother in Wisbech in 1851, and working as a dressmaker. Her marriage record gives the name of her father as “Henry Teed, mariner,” and calls her husband a carpenter, of Grove Street. She and her husband may both have been dead by 1871, as their daughter Mary was then living with Anne’s mother.
Known issue (the first two recorded in the bible record kept by their maternal grandmother):
- John Thomas Pear, b. 26 Sept. 1855. We have not found him in the LDS index to the 1881 census of England.
- Henry Pear, b. 26 Sept. 1859. We have not found him in the LDS index to the 1881 census of England.
- Mary A. Pear, b. 1861-62 at London, England, and living with her maternal grandmother in 1871.
-
Mary Rose Teed, b. 6 April 1824 (date from tombstone), bapt. 8 April following in Boston parish chruch, d. 20 Nov. 1898 at or near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto, section E, plot 54.[46] She m. (as his first wife) 11 Aug. 1842 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, George Flint (III), b. 7 April 1823 (date from tombstone) near Holbeach, Lincolnshire, d. testate 7 July 1906 at Toronto,[47] and buried beside his first wife in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, section E, plot 54, having married secondly, Eleanor (Forsyth) Breuls, widow of Julius Breuls, of Ringwood, Markham Tp., York Co., Ontario.[48]
He was a son of George Flint, Jr., of Holbeach and afterward of Wisbech, by his wife Mary Inkley. George and Mary Rose (Teed) Flint left Wisbech in 1852 for Rochester, New York, but after a three-year stay there moved to Stouffville, Ontario, in 1855. Their numerous descendants have been treated in my (long out-of-print) book The Descendants of George and Elizabeth (Lee) Flint, of Holbeach, Lincolnshire (Winnipeg, 1989), which is now available again on this website. See also Descendants of George III Flint by Mary Catherine (Flint) Crandall.
- Susannah Teed, b. in August 1826 at Boston, bapt. 28 Aug. following in Boston parish church, d. in Nov. 1911, and buried in Mt. Pleasant Road Cemetery, Wisbech. She m. 28 Oct. 1849 in the Baptist Chapel, Ramsey, Huntingdonshire (where the groom’s elder brother Stephen was then living), Emmanuel Palmer, b. 1819-20 at Burwell, Cambridgeshire, a millwright, son of Stephen Palmer, of Burwell, by his wife Maria da Silva. His father was a soldier (Chelsea Pensioners) who fought and was wounded in Portugal during the Napoleonic Wars. He brought back a bride from Portugal, and thus many of his descendants — some of whom adopted the combined surname da Silva Palmer — bore Portuguese names.
Emmanuel Palmer appears in the 1851 census of Wisbech, living on Robins Row, Old Horse Fair, with his wife and eldest child. He is called a millwright. Susannah was living at 17a Belfast Street, Wisbech, in July 1908, when she wrote a letter to her daughter Maria. In it she complains of a painful ear-ache and lump in her throat, and writes, “Dear Maria [sic] you must not think I have forgot you and yesterday was your birthday … I should have [w]rote…. If I never see you again on this earth I hope and trust to meet you in heaven.”[49]
There is a photograph of Susannah Palmer in the possession her great-great-granddaughter, Jean (Ketteringham) Matthews, below, with whom persons interested in this family should correspond. She has traced about 300 Palmer descendants and submits the following data on Emmanuel’s children, which has been supplemented with some data from the Palmer Family web page by Rachel Ann (Cawthorn) McClean:
- Maria DaSilva Palmer, b. 27 July 1850, bapt. 5 Jan. 1851 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 24 Nov. 1917. She m. in 1870-71, Walter William Ketteringham, a farm laborer and later a farm bailiff. They had two sons, of whom the younger died unmarried in a fit, aged 23, and the elder was:

- Delphina Honor Palmer, b. 8 Sept. 1869, d. ____. She m. Albert William Haylett. Only known child:
- Vera Delphina Haylett; m. Frank Elam. Known issue:
- Mary Elam, m. George Southgate. Her address (1985) is 7 Radmoor Lane, North Brink, Wisbech.
- Frank Elam, m. Jean Miss. They emigrated to Canada.
- 3Henry Madgham Teed, bapt. 26 June 1829 in Boston parish church.
- Charlotte Teed, bapt. 15 Dec. 1831 in Boston parish church, d. 18 April 1900 (as appears from the registered copy of her will). In the 1841 she is erroneously shown as a son, Charles, and her age (9 years) given in the column for males. She m. by 1872, John Thomas Spikings, b. in 1842-43 in England, d. intestate 27 Jan. 1899 (date taken from the administration) at the age of 55 years, possibly a brother of Mary Ann Spikings, wife of Charlotte’s younger brother George. Charlotte was living with her mother in Wisbech in 1851 and working as a school-mistress. It is not known whether she came to Canada before or after her marriage. She and her husband farmed 50 acres near Heathcote, consisting of the north half of the south half of lot 5, concession 1, Euphrasia Tp., Grey Co., Ontario. In the 1871 census their religion is given as Baptist, and he is called a farmer. In the 1881 census their religion is given as Primitive Methodist, and in the 1891 census they are called Methodists. Her age is grossly understated in all the Canadian census records, and she was evidently concealing the considerable difference in her and her husband’s ages.
On the death of Charlotte’s brother George, she and her husband raised his son Albert, who appears with them in the 1891 census.
John Spikings died intestate, leaving a modest estate consisting mostly of 50 acres of land worth $100, $300 in livestock, and $50 in farming implements.[51] The surety for the administration was (the widow’s nephew) Herbert Teed, of Euphrasia Tp. Charlotte’s will, dated 28 Aug. 1899, leaves the bulk of her estate to her daughter Charlotte, whom, with George Clark, of Collingwood Tp., she appoints executor. It continues, “I direct my said daughter to pay to my nephew Henry Teed … the sum of $100, and to my nephew Albert Jordan Teed on his arriving at the age of 21 years, the sum of $200 if he stays with me or with my daughter until he is 17 years old and assists with the work on the premises occupied by me or my daughter; should he not remain with either of us … I would wish my daughter to give $100 [to him] when attaining the age of 21 years instead of $200 as aforesaid.”
[52]
Only child:
- Charlotte (“Lottie”) Spikings, b. 1872, d. 1957, aged 85 years, at Redwing, Collingwood Tp. She was still living unmarried with her parents in 1891. She is almost certainly the “Miss C.A. Spikings, of Euphrasia,” who served as a witness at the marriage of Henry Teed and Elizabeth Sheridan in 1893, and the Charlotte Ann Spikings of Heathcote who served as a witness at the marriage of this Elizabeth Sheridan’s sister, Annie Bella Sheridan, in 1894.[53]
She m. between Aug. 1899, and 1900, Lorenzo (“Enzy”) Conklin, b. 1873, d. 1969, aged 96 years, at the home of his daughter Vesta, at Heathcote. Her husband may have been the William L. Conklin, b. 1873-74, son of John and Mary A. (____) Conklin, of Red Wing, who appears with his parents in the 1881 census, in which he is called an Assistant Postmaster.
Known issue:
- Joy Conklin, b. 1900, d. 1968. She m. Max Fairbarn. Joy was a friend of her second cousin, Marjorie (Flint) (Moore) Higgins.[54]
- Vesta Conklin, living at Heathcote in 1969. She m. Gordon Wheeler.
- Sarah Elizabeth Teed, bapt. 9 Oct. 1834 in Boston parish church, d. 1862-67.[55] Sarah appears in the 1851 census of Wisbech in the houshold of her sister, Mary Rose (Teed) Flint, her occupation being listed but illegible. It is not known whether she accompanied her sister when the latter’s family left England in 1852 for Rochester, New York, or whether she joined them after they arrived in Canada in 1855. She m. (as his first wife) 14 March 1856 at the home of her brother-in-law, George Flint, at Stouffville, Whitchurch Tp., York Co., Ontario, by the Rev. Ashton Fletcher,[56] Robert Gray, b. 1830 in county Tyrone, Ireland, d. 8 July 1887 in Whitchurch Tp., son of William Gray, of near Ballantrae, Whitchurch Tp., by the latter’s wife Jane Folyard.[57] A newspaper announcement of their marriage gives her place of residence as Markham Tp. (the township immediately south of Whitchurch) and her husband’s as Whitchurch. Her husband m. secondly 17 Dec. 1867 at Newmarket,[58] Margaret Harper (d. 1904),[59] daughter of Hugh and Jane (____) Harper, of King Tp., York Co., by whom he had further issue.
In a brief memoir of her husband included in the History of Toronto and County of York (1885), a typical nineteenth-century mugbook, it is stated that his parents came to Canada in 1849.[60] He could hardly however have been the source of its information, considering its amazing failure to mention his well-attested marriage to Margaret Harper, and its erroneous naming of his long-deceased first wife, Sarah Teed, as the mother of his four youngest children, Minnie E., Wesley H., Edgar H., and Ida S. There is some confusion about these names, as the last two are called William E. and Edith S. in the 1881 census, and Wesley is evidently identical with the son Robert W.H. Gray named in his father’s will.
Robert Gray farmed the east half of lot 21, concession 7, near Ballantrae, as appears from a map of 1878, and from his will, which also mentions hat he owned part of lot 22. He appears in the 1861 census…. He appears in the 1871 census with his second wife and the children of his two marriages, as also in that of 1881, in both of which he is called a farmer, and his religion given as Primitive Methodist.
In his will, dated 28 June 1887, he gives to his son George the west half of lot 21, and to his son Robert the east half of lot 21, to be leased until 1 April 189_ [ink smudged] and 1 April 1893, respectively, which may represent the years in which they would turn 21. He left his holdings in lot 22 to William, a son by his second marriage. His will also mentions his sons Robert W.M. (probably identical with the Wesley H. of the 1885 memoir) and William E.H., and daughters Minnie and Ada. Aside from land, he left an estate worth $2085, mainly in the form of cash and livestock.[61]
Known issue:
- George Henry Gray, b. 6 May 1857, probably near Ballantrae (his death record says he was born in Markham Tp.), d. 15 Jan. 1918 at Toronto, aged over 60 years, and buried at Norway, Scarborough Tp., York Co.[62] He was living unmarried with his father in 1881. He served as a pallbearer at the funeral of his uncle-by-marriage, George Flint, in July 1906.[63] He m. 28 March 1888 in Scarborough Tp., York Co.,[64] Charlotte Elizabeth Latham, b. 10 may 1860 (per death record) or 10 May 1861 (per 1901 census) in Scarborough Tp., d. 29 May 1933 of a cerebral thrombosis, aged 73 years, and buried 31 May following in St. John Cemetery, Norway, Scarborough Tp.[65] daughter of Isaac Latham (born in Ireland) and Annie Eagan (born in Ontario). At the time of their marriage, the record of which names both sets of parents without however supplying the maiden surnames of the mothers, the groom was of Toronto and the bride of Scarborough; the witnesses were Robert Franklin Gray, of Toronto (the groom’s younger brother) and Maggie Ann Latham, of Scarborough. George Gray is called a carpenter, of no. 6 Moutray Street, Toronto, in the birth record of his daughter Olive (1889), but of no. 10 Moutray Street, Toronto, in that of his son Milton (1891). He is found in Scarborough Tp. in the 1901 census, in which he is called a lumber dealer.[66]

Only child:[79]
- Jean Demaris Affleck, b. 29 June 1926, alive on 22 Dec. 2007 (she survived her husband). She was a graduate of Swarthmore College inthe class of 1947. She m. before 1951, Jeptha Jefferson Carrell, b. 29 Aug. 1923 in Texas, d. 22 Dec. 2007 at Kendal, Oberlin, Pennsylvania, aged 84 years. A death notice of her husband reads, in part:
Jeptha J. Carrell, 84, former executive director of the Nordson Foundation and the Nord Family Foundation and founding director of the Lorain County Community Foundation, died Saturday, December 22, 2007, at Kendal at Oberlin. Mr. Carrell was born in Texas and grew up in Philadelphia. He attended Swarthmore College, Franklin and Marshall College. He earned his MA and Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. Mr. Carrell was a member of the Society of Friends.
After five years as Assistant Dean of Men at Swarthmore College, Mr. Carrell was appointed Clerk to the Montgomery County, Maryland Council in 1952. Within months, he was appointed Acting County Manager. He was also City Manager of Xenia from 1954 to 1956. With a growing interest in research, in 1959 he joined Community Studies, Inc., an academic and action research firm in Kansas City, Mo. He also taught graduate courses at the University of Missouri. In 1965 he became the Executive Director of Community Research in Dayton, and in 1973 he was named President of the Dayton-Miami Valley Consortium of Colleges.
He came to Lorain County in 1979 as the first full-time director of the Nordson Foundation, later the Nord Family Foundation, where he retired in 1989. During his years in Dayton, Mr. Carrell served on the Human Relations Commission and was president of the Dayton School Board during the chaotic days of court-ordered integration. He was elected to the national board of the American Society for Public Administration and he taught graduate courses in urban problems at both the University of Dayton and Miami University.
When Mr. Carrell came to the Nordson Foundation, he initiated many significant projects: the Community Foundation of Lorain County was created in 1980 and he staffed it for six years in addition to his work at the Nordson Foundation. Leadership Lorain County was founded; the County Cupboard, now Second Harvest, was created and operated through the Foundation; school endowments were established in schools throughout the county.
Mr. Carrell published many books and articles on urban government and in retirement, served as a consultant to foundations and nonprofit agencies. Mr. Carrell had been the recipient of many awards….
Mr. Carrell is survived by his wife, Demaris; and three children, Heather of Hansville, Wash., Mark of Phoenix, and Kim of Bethlehem, Pa.; and seven grandchildren.[80]

- Mark Eldridge Carrell, b. 21 July 1953, of Phoenix, Arizona in 2007.
- Kimberly Wilson Carrell, b. 4 April 1957, of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 2007.
- Emma Teed (twin to Lucy), bapt. 15 April 1837 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 1838 at Wisbech (according to Ann McLean). This child does not appear in the 1841 census.
- Lucy Teed (twin to Emma), bapt. 15 April 1837 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 1838 at Wisbech (according to Ann McLean). This child does not appear in the 1841 census.
- John Madgham Teed, bapt. 25 Dec. 1839 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 6 Aug. 1900 at or near Grimsby, Lincolnshire. He appears with his mother in the 1851 census of Wisbech, in which he is called a scholar. Annie Teed’s chart shows no wife or children for him, but the researches of Ann McLean have established the following details of his life: He m. (1) by 1864, but was subsequently estranged from, Elizabeth ____, b. 1840-41 at Whitby, Yorkshire, who later became the “paramour” (as she is called in the 1881 census) of William Jordan, of Whitby, with whom she and her four younger children were living in 1881.[81] If these children really were all born at Whitby, as stated in the census, it is difficult to see how they could have been the actual children of John Madgham Teed. He m. (2) before 1881, Selina Lee, b. ca. 1843 at Wisbech, d. 1896 at or near Caistor, Lincolnshire. He appears with his second wife at 108 Guildford Street, Clee with Weelsby, Lincolnshire, in the 1881 census, which gives his occupation as “pilot (sailor).”[82] Known issue, all by first wife:

- Robert Henry Teed, b. 1874-75 at Whitby.
- Emma Teed, b. 1876-77 at Whitby.
- 4George Jordan Teed, b. 9 Oct. 1843 at Wisbech.
3. Henry Madgham Teed, bapt. 26 June 1829 in Boston parish church, living at the taking of the 1900 census. According to family tradition, Henry Teed “was a ship’s captain and … his children were born all over the world.”[83]
He left Wisbech and m. 1854 in St. Lawrence’s Church of England, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Mary McBride, b. Sept. 1834 (1900 census), who (according to her daughter Ida’s death certificate) was born at Dublin, Ireland;[84] she was also still alive in 1900.[85]
As indicated by the birthplaces of his children, he and his first wife were at Victoria in 1856, and at Ovens River, Victoria, Australia, in 1859-61. According to Annie Teed’s chart, he came to Euphrasia Tp., Grey Co., Ontario, Canada, and purchased the north half of lot 16, concession 1, in 1866 from Isaac McCallin. He has not been located in the 1871 census, although he was evidently still in Ontario around 1874, when his son Arnold was born. In any case, he was not there much longer, leaving by 1880 for Chicago, Illinois. They are found there in the 1900 census of Chicago at 9143 Ontario Avenue, in which he is erroneously recorded as Henry Leed, but his birth in England in June 1829, matches what is known of the present man. His occupation is given as librarian for a steel company, and it is stated that he and his family arrived in the U.S. in 1880.[86]

This family is being researched by Anne N. Philiben <anphlbn bendcable.com>, whose sister-in-law is a Teed descendant, and who supplied most of the information here, filling in the life of a man who had been nearly forgotten by the rest of the family.

(1) 17 Feb. 1892 at Chicago, Fannie Almira Clarke. He m. (2) 28 Feb. 1893 in Chicago, Annie Hardman. We have not found him in the 1900 census, and wonder whether he may have been the father of Freda Teed, born in Nov. 1894 in Illinois, daughter of an Australian-born father and Indiana-born mother, who is found in the household of her uncle [or uncle by marriage?], William P. Ladd, at 29th Street, in Ward 3 of Chicago, in the 1900 census.[89]
- Henry M[adgham?] Teed,[90] b. Jan. 1859 (per 1900 census) in Ovens River, Victoria, alive in 1910. According to the 1900 census, he came to the U.S. in 1878, and the 1910 census seems to indicate that he was naturalized in 1891. He m. 16 Oct. 1888 at Chicago, Frances (“Frankie”) Payunk, b. in May 1863 (aged 37 in 1900) in Germany, alive in 1910. They appear at 9th [Street?] in the 10th Precinct and 4th Ward of LaFayette, Fairfield Tp., Tippecanoe Co., Indiana, in the 1900 census, in which he is called an officer with the Salvation Army.[91]
He is listed as “Harry M. Teed, adjutant” of the Salvation Army headquarters on Front Street, Wilmington, North Carolina, in a directory published probably in 1909.[92] They appear as the operators of a “night lodging house” at Libery Street, in Ward 5 of Jackson City, Jackson Co., Michigan, in the 1910 census, in which he is called an Adjutant in the Salvation Army.[93]

- Ida Rose Teed, b. about 1870-71 in Ontario, perhaps at Toronto, buried 5 Aug. 1942 in Mt. Olivette Cemetery, Chicago, dying at the age of “about 71.”[97]
She was perhaps named for her cousin, Ida Rose Flint (born 1855), daughter of George Flint and Mary Rose Teed. According to information passed down among her descendants, “Ida was one of 11 children. She was probably the 2nd youngest…. By 1921 three boys were dead from job-related accidents. She moved to Chicago from Canada when she was 16 or 17 to work as a maid.”[98]
Evidently she originally remained behind in Canada when her father came to Chicago, but followed later. She m. 3 Jan. 1891 in St. Patrick’s Church (Commercial & 96th Streets), Chicago, William Patrick Hennessy, b. ca. 1866 in co.

- Robert Teed, b. ca. 1912.
- Sydney Teed, b. 1878 in Canada, the informant named on Arnold Melbourne Teed’s death certificate. He is found in the household of his sister Lottie and her husband, W.S.

- Margaret (“Peggy”) Teed, perhaps b. about 1879-80, d. (in 1898?) of tuberculosis, aged 19 years.
4. George Jordan Teed, son of Henry and Mary (Madgham) Teed, b. 9 Oct. 1843 at Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, bapt. (many years later) 10 Oct. 1852 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, d. 5 Jan. 1887 of “apoplexia pulmonalis” at lot 25, concession 5, Euphrasia Tp., Grey Co., Ontario.[105] George Jordan Teed was living with his mother in 1851, when he was attending school. He m. (1) 15 Jan. 1866 in St. Peter’s Church, Wisbech, Mary Ann Spikings, b. 1842-43, d. 3 May 1874, aged 32 years, and buried at Collingwood, daughter of Robert Spikings, “late of West Walton, farmer,” perhaps a sister of the John Spikings who married George’s sister Charlotte. Both parties were able to sign their names to the marriage register, although George did so with obvious difficulty. Mary Ann Spikings would appear to be the Mary A. Spikings, aged 8 years, and born at West Walton, Norfolk, who appears with her maternal grandparents, John and Sarah (____) Harrod, in the 1851 census of Wisbech.[106] He m. (2) 2 Aug. 1886 in Collingwood Tp.,[107] Mary Rear, b. 1851-52 (aged 34 in 1886) in East Gwillimbury Tp., who d. of carcinoma in June 1888 of carcinoma, after 3 years’ illness, the informant listed on the certificate being a …. Flint [illegible], of Ravenna, Ontario;[108] She was a daughter of John and Ann (____) Rear.
George Jordan Teed is called a carter in the birth record of his son Herbert (1866). In 1868 or 1869 he, with his first wife and first child, moved from England to near Heathcote, in Euphrasia Tp., Grey Co., Ontario, and acquired or leased land on the Euphrasia-Collingwood townline. He named the area Egypt because he grew corn there. In 1871 he appears at lot 10, concession 1 of Euphrasia, as a tenant, perhaps of his neighbor (on lot 9) and brother-in-law, John Spikings. In 1871 he is called a farmer, and his and his family’s religion given as Baptism, but by 1881 they had become Primitive Methodists, perhaps under the influence of his cousin, the Rev. Paul Flint, who would subsequently perform the marriage of George’s son, Herbert. At the time of George Teed’s second marriage, the record of which names the parents of both parties without however supplying the mothers’ maiden surnames, he was a farmer, of Euphrasia Tp., and his wife was of Collingwood Tp.; the witnesses were James and Mary A. Holmes, both of Collingwood. He has not been found in the 1891 census.
(by first wife)
- Herbert Teed, b. 24 Nov. 1866 at Wisbech, d. 1938 at Thornbury, Ontario, and buried in Clarksburg Union Cemetery, Collingwood. He m. 2 May 1890 at Ravenna, by his father’s first cousin, the Rev. Paul Flint,[109] Annie McDougall, b. 1870, d. 1940 at Thornbury, and buried with her husband, daughter of Alexander and Catherine (____) McDougall. The record gives his religion as Methodist, and hers as Friend, and the witnesses were L. Flint and Katey Plummer, both of Ravenna.
Herbert Teed farmed near Duncan, in Euphrasia Tp., on lot 4, concession 1, of which he was a freeholder, and leased adjacent land in lot 4, concession 12 of Collingwood Tp. in the same county. In 1891 his sister Sarah was living in his household, and they are all (perhaps mistakenly) described as Quakers. In 1900 he served as a surety for the administration of the estate of his uncle, John Spikings, and made oath “that I reside in the Township of Euphrasia in the County of Grey, and am worth property to the amount of nine hundred and sixty dollars, over and above all encumbrances.”

- Augusta Irene Teed. She m. Jesse E. Gould, b. 1895, d. 1968, and buried in Thornbury-Clarksburg Cemetery, Collingwood. They had seven children.
- Myrtle A. Teed. She m. (1) Melville Alcock, who d. suddenly in 1933. She m. (2) William Mohrhardt, d. 1961. She had two sons by her first marriage and one by her second.
- Edward Arnold Teed, b. 1906, d. 1974, and buried in Thornbury-Clarksburg Cemetery, Collingwood. He m. Velma A. Proctor, and had one daughter.
- Earl Edwin Teed, b. 1909, d. 1962 and buried at Thornbury-Clarksburg Cemetery, Collingwood. He m. Selina E.H. Theakston, b. 1910, and had one son.
- Henry Charles Teed, b. 29 Oct. 1868 at Wisbech, d. 31 Dec. 1953 at the home of his son George Clark Teed, at Heathcote, Euphrasia Tp., and buried beside his wife at Thornbury. His age must (as Michael R. Tedd pointed out with us) be switched with that of his brother George in the 1871 census of Euphrasia. He m. 8 March 1893 at Thornbury,[113] Elizabeth Sheridan, b. 1875, d. Dec. 1918 in Egypt Community, and buried at Thornbury, daughter of James Seridan and and Margaret McLeod.[114] At the time of their marriage, the record of which names both sets of parents without however supplying the maiden surnames of the mothers, the groom was a farmer, of Collingwood Tp., and the bride was of the same place; The witnesses were A. Clark and Miss C.A. Spikings, of Euphrasia.
Henry Teed lived near Heathcote, on lot 21, concession 1, as a tenant of Irwin Kerr. In 1891 he was an unmarried farm laborer, and a Wesleyan Methodist in religion. In 1899 he is named as a beneficiary in the will of his aunt, Charlotte (Teed) Spikings, who bequeathed $100 to him. After being widowed, he lived with his son Clark for several years, then with his grandson Kenneth from 1946 to 1950, then spend his last days with his son again. Issue:
- George Clark Teed, b. 4 Jan. 1894 at Egypt Community, d. 21 Sept. 1966, and buried at Thornbury. He was apparently named for a family friend, George Clark. He m. Annie G. Allen, b. Aug. 1899, d. June 1983, and buried beside her husband at Thornbury. Clark Teed farmed at Egypt, then retired to Heathcote about 1946. His wife was as schoolteacher in the Thornbury and Meaford areas for 48 years, teaching in the school at Egypt from 1924 until its closing in 1941. She was the author of a large and very valuable genealogical chart on the Teed family. Their only son was:
- Kenneth H. Teed, b. 1923, d. 4 Aug. 1985 of acute heart disease. He m. Nora McGuire, living 1986. He inherited his father’s farm at Egypt, and a local history states that he had 400 acres in 1972. He retired to Thornbury in 1980. He was a freemason, being District Deputy Grand Master of the Georgian District in 1979-80. His widow, whose postal address (1986) is Box 612, Thornbury, Ontario N0H 2P0, contributed extensive information to this genealogy, and kindly provided a photocopy of the Teed chart by her mother-in-law. She has three children.
- Olive Elizabeth Teed, b. 1900 in Collingwood Tp. (per marriage record), d. 1977, and buried with her husband in Thornbury-Clarksburg Cemetery, Collingwood. She m. 13 March 1918 in Collingwood Tp.,[115] Joseph Oscar Brockelbank, b. 1892 in Collingwood Tp. (per marriage record), d. 1967 at St. Catherine’s, Ontario, son of William Brockelbank and Mary Hunter. At the time of their marriage, the record of which names both sets of parents, the groom was a farmer, of Newmarket, and the bride was of Collingwood Tp.; the witnesses were G. Clark Teed of Duncan and Beatrice Hillyard of Cataract.
- George Spikings Teed, b. ca. 1871 (?), d. 1892 (?) at the age of 21 years, 3 months, 5 days, and buried at Collingwood. Although his age is given as 2 years in the 1871 census of Euphrasia, we have to assume (as Michael R. Tedd has suggested to us) that his age and that of his brother Henry are switched, otherwise Henry could not have been the one born in 1868, and the chronology is too tight to accomodate another child.
- Sarah Elizabeth Teed, b. 1 June 1873 in Euphrasia Tp. (the informant being her uncle, John Thomas Spikings),[116] d. 20 April 1901, in childbirth, and buried at Collingwood. In 1891 she was living in the household of her brother Herbert. She m. (as his first wife) in 1899, Neil McDougal, perhaps a brother of Annie McDougal, wife of Elizabeth’s brother Herbert. He remarried after Elizabeth’s death, but we do not know the name of the second wife. Their only known child was:
- Lizzie McDougal, d. 16 May 1901, aged 1 month.
(by second wife)
- Albert Jordan Teed, b. 13 May 1887 in Euphrasia Tp., Ontario,[117] d. (unmarried) 1939 in Saskatchewan, and buried at Thornbury, Ontario, beside his brother Henry. In the 1891 census, the orphaned Albert Teed is found in the household of John and Charlotte “Hickens,” obviously an error for Spikings. In his aunt Charlotte Spikings’ will of 1899, she bequeaths to him $100, with an additional $100 “if he stays with me or my daughter until he is seventeen years old and assists with the work on the premises.” He was still living in Euphrasia Tp. in April 1900, but later moved to Saskatchewan, where he died.
