Hi Wanda, just found your message of July 10 requesting info on Molly Teets. I have info on her and her family that was given to me by a couple of other Teets researchers. Some of the data may not be accurate but will put you in the right neighborhood, I think. Hope this helps. Shirley

Michael 11 father was Michael 'Old Mike" Teets. No info on mother. Children of Old Mike are listed as:

Abraham m. Catherine Ringer???
Adam m. Elizabeth Mosser

I have conflicting info as to who Old Mike's father was and whether he came from Germany or Holland. One paper states that the Teets name was originally Teacks and they were from Holland. As I said, this is all info provided by other people and you may find incorrect names and dates. If you spot anything, would you kindly let me know so I can correct my info.
