Roger Teague & Dorothy Hearle, Creed/Grampound
The origins of Roger Teague are unknown, but for many years he kept the Plough Inn at Teague's Gate on the Grampound/Creed border.
A visitor to the Inn (Thomas Tonkin, who described the Plough as "The best inn in Grampound") in 1717 wrote:
When Roger died in 1719, he was 'a man of considerable means' and left £10 to the poor of Grampound giving ten shillings every year in bread for the poor on Easter Eve; twenty shillings to the poor of Mevagissey as well as monies to his wife, sons and grandchildren. He is buried at Creed. The Plough Inn was demolished in 1993.
Married: Dorothy Hearle, 27 Jun 1682 Creed
Children:
Dorothy Teague, b 1684

With trusty Roger cheerfully I dine
Pleas'd with his merry jokes and generous wine;
Roger, who like Scarron, can laugh in pain,
Nor can the gout disturb his sportive vein.
