Benoni Teel and Peter Teal
I was able to visit the National Archives on a recent trip to Washington DC. I was looking for parentage on Peter Teel, born 9/9/1825 in Washington County, PA. I looked through census records for PA for 1830 and found no Teels listed in Washington County but did find a reference to Peter Teal in Allegheny County (adjacent to Washington County) and may have hit pay dirt. Peter Teal is listed as having one son age 5 and younger, but no other children are listed. Peter and his wife are listed as adults between ages 30 and 40. Only Peter's name is on the census, and there is the variant on spelling. Does anybody have anything more on this?
