Routh - Forbus connection

 

 

Descendants of

 Isaac Teague

 

 

The name Teague in Ireland is derived from a number of distinct Gaelic 0' Taighe.

Septs who adopted Tighe, Tigue or Teague are the anglicized version of the names.

The name is pronounced as "Tig". To pronounce it as rhyming with league would

be an insult. The translation of Teague is "poet or bard".

Note.  William and Mary probably moved to Missouri sometime between 1850 and 1859.  William died

during that time and Mary married James Byrd on 13 February 1859 in Stone County Missouri.  There are two

James Byrd’s listed in the 1860 census.  One married Elizabeth Teague the other Mary Kitts.  William Henry is

not listed as living with James and Mary in the 1860 census.  His whereabouts is unknown and it may be that

at the age of 11 he struck out for Texas to be a Buffalo hunter.

Short Biography of

Rebecca Jane Routh

                                                         

 

Very little is known of Rebecca Jane Routh.  The only records of her are the 1900 and 1910 U.S. Census’, and a book

entitled “Zephyr, Yesterday and Today”.  These records are of her a while a wife of William Henry Teague.

 

Rebecca Jane was born in Texas in the year 1852 in Collin Texas.  Rebecca Jane married William Henry Teague,

a hard-shell  Baptist  Preacher.  The date of the marriage is 31 March 1870 in Collin Texas.

 

A quotation of Rebecca’s experiences of the cyclone that  nearly destroyed Zephyr can be found in the book earlier mentioned.

This cyclone left the Teague’s homeless but alive.

 

Rebecca Jane and William Henry had a total of 12 Children, 9 of which lived.  They are as follows:

 

                             ALFRED MARION TEAGUE,  b. 26 Feb 1871 Mckinney , Sherman Texas

ALICE E. TEAGUE, b. 3 February 1873, Brown County Texas, d. 13 March 1907

ALINORA T. (Nora) TEAGUE, b. April 1877 Texas, d. 1973

WILLIAM E. (Will) TEAGUE,  b. 1 August 1879 Brown County Texas, d. 1962

PERRY JESSIE TEAGUE, b. 1882 Texas, d. 3 September 1960

JUDSON O. TEAGUE,  b. 1887 Brown County Texas, d. 1960

Note: Reported in the Balinger Tribune newspaper 31 March 1905, “The baby boy that was found on the river bank on

March 20, 1905, where it had been left by an unnatural mother has been adopted by Mr. and Mrs. TEAGUE.”  It is

unknow who these Teague’s would be as it is not known  that there were any Teague’s in Runnels County in 1905.  Gerald

Preston did not marry Ione until 1915.

 

At what date Rebecca Jane came to Zephyr is unknown, but her son Gerald Preston was born there.  Therefore the Teague’s

would have been settled in Zephyr prior to 1891.  Rebecca Jane’s date of death is 23 October 1918 in Madil Oklahoma.
