I have a great deal of information on the Teegardens and the Pribbles back to Christian Tegarten (1650-1702) and Thomas
Preble (1662-1704).
My great-grandmother was Effie Mae
Teegarden.
Her parents were George
Teegarden and Rachel Lavina
Miller.
Her grandparents were George
Teegarden and Sarah
Teel.
Her great-grandparents were George
Teegarden and Rachel
Pribble.
Her great great-grandparents were
Abraham Tiegarden/Mary
Parker and Thomas
Prebble III/Mary Elizabeth Tiegarden (sister of
Abraham). Yes, Rachel and George were first cousins.
Her 3rd great-grandparents were
Abraham Tegarden/Anna
Margaretha Albrecht and John Stephen Prebble/Nancy Ann
Gallion. This is the generation of Teegardens that immigrated from Germany.
Her 4th great-grandparents were Christian Tegarten/Maria Tilmans and Thomas Preble/Mary
Bucknell.
The
Teegarden name was originally
Tegart and even Degart and
Deckert are researchable spellings.
