They moved from South Carolina to Hardeman County. Here the Teague family purchased land in the early 1820's. A Baptist Church was established in 1826 at Clover Creek, and John Teague and his family were active members. In 1849, John gave two and one-half acres of land on which to build the church.
Teague, Tennessee on the Tennessee Central Railroad (now Illinois Central) was named for this family. John Teague, besides operating his mill with two dams on the Clover Creek, was an early surveyor of land in West Tennessee. According to family tradition he said, "These acres will be all that my family and I will ever need." He was a member of the Unity Association of Primitive Baptist
Churches and a member of the Sons of Temperance. His residence was on the Hardeman-Madison County line and records were found in both counties.
