Hattaway
Earliest Hattaway records in North Carolina place them on the eastern coast in Beaufort and Halifax counties. Beaufort was founded in 1705 from Bath County, with its county seat finally placed at Washington, North Carolina in 1785. Pitt was founded from Beaufort in 1760.
Later census show Hattaways in Hyde county (also founded in 1705 from Bath) with its county seat at Germantown. Likewise, Hattaways were found in Tyrrell and Camden counties. Tyrrell was founded in 1729 from Chowan, Bertie, Currituck, and Pasquotank counties, with its final county seat at Columbia, North Carolina. Camden was founded in 1777 from Pasquotank with its county seat at Camden.
More Hattaways are found in Georgetown, Colleton, and Charleston counties in South Carolina.
Earliest Hattaway records in Georgia show John Hathaway in Chatham County (Savannah) in 1798. Next a David Hattaway appears in War of 1812 service records, county unknown. In Washington county, David Hattaway was listed in 1820 census records and a blacksmith named John Baton Hattaway was found in 1860. Located in the eastern part of the state, with its county seat Sandersville, Georgia, Washington county was founded in 1784 from Indian lands. It may have been this same David Hattaway from the 1820 census of Washington County who drew land in Coweta County, Georgia in the 1827 Land Lottery. South of Washington county is Laurens county, where Henry Hattaway lived in the 1830 census. Laurens county seat was located at Dublin, founded in 1807 from Montgomery, Washington, and Wilkinson counties. Just north of Washington county is Hancock county, where N. Hattaway and his family were living in 1860. Hancock was created in 1793 from Greene and Washington Counties and holds its county seat at Sparta. Greene, located slightly north of Hancock, has Greensboro as its county seat and was founded in 1786 from Washington, Oglethorpe, and Wilkes counties. David Hattaway was noted on the 1830 census of Greene County, Georgia.
Just northwest of Washington Co., GA is Glascock county where Elisha Hattaway Sr.'s wife, Tabitha, and sons William and Amos died. Gibson, Glascock's county seat, was placed in 1857 when the county was created from Warren and Jefferson counties. North of Glascock county is Warren county, where Baton and Irwin Hattaway were living in 1830 and where Irwin's brother, Elisha Hattaway, died in 1855. Warren's county seat was located at Warrenton. This county was founded in 1793 from Columbia, Richmond, and Wilkes counties.
Irwin Hattaway's son, James Baton Hattaway, was born west of Washington in 1814 in what would become Monroe County, GA. Monroe was founded in 1821 from Indian lands with the county seat placed at Macon. Just north of Monroe County in Jasper County, Georgia, where our Lacy Hattaway married Elizabeth ("Betsie" on the marriage license) Teal in 1825. Jasper was founded in 1812 from part of Baldwin County, with Jasper's county seat at Monticello. Sandwiched between Jasper and Hancock is Putnam County, county seat at Eatonton, founded in 1807 from Baldwin County. From Putnam County came David Hattaway's power of attorney, Lemuel Wilkerson, as well as where Sterling Hattaway (unknown relation) who married there in 1832. Just north of Putnam is Morgan county, where Levi Hattaway lived from the 1830 census at least until his will was written in 1845.
Lacy Hattaway was not the only Hattaway to move west. Many of the Hattaways with ties back to Pitt County, NC moved to Coffee and Coosa counties in Alabama. Of particular interest, some of the Teal families from Pitt County, NC also moved to Coosa Co., AL. Lacy and Elizabeth (Teal) Hattaway's son, Walter Luther Hattaway, is not found living in Campbell County, Georgia in either 1860 or 1870, but returned by 1872 and married. A Walton Hataway, of nearly the same age, was listed as an overseer in Coosa Co., AL in 1860.
Teal The earliest Teals in North Carolina lived first in Pitt, then later moved westward to Anson County, along the North Carolina-Georgia border. Anson was created in 1750 from Bladen county. Some research indicates that the Teals of Anson County, NC moved frequently between Anson Co., NC and Chesterfield Co., SC.
Like the Hattaways, the Teals tended to cluster in nearby counties, but further west in Georgia than the Hattaways. The earliest Teal record in Georgia is 1815, when Calvin Teal, son of Loderick Teal, married Sarah Spence in Jasper County, GA. In 1823, Calvin's brother Jesse Teal married Nancy Ann Benton in newly formed Henry county Henry, northwest of Jasper, had been formed in 1821 from Walton County and Indian lands with its county seat at McDonough. Our Elizabeth "Betsie" Teal married Lacy Hattaway in Jasper County in 1825. In 1827, Revolutionary War soldiers Emanuel Teal Jr. and Loderick Teal listed their county of residence as Jasper County, GA. In the 1827 Land Lottery of Georgia, Loderick Teal, Emanuel Teal Jr., and Meshack Teal all drew land. In 1828, Emanuel Jr.'s son, Wash Teal, was listed in the militia in Jasper County.
In 1828, Calvin Teal, appeared some distance southwest of Jasper, in Harris county, on the Georgia-Alabama border, marrying his second wife, Emily Parrish. Harris had been formed in 1827 from Muscogee and Troup counties with its county seat at Hamilton, Georgia. In 1830, another of Loderick Teal's sons, Robert William Teal, married Polly Campbell in Harris Co., GA.
By 1830, Lacy Hattaway and his wife, Elizabeth Teal, had moved northwest of Henry to Campbell county. They remained in Campbell County until their deaths. Loderick and Calvin Teal appear in early Campbell records, as was Emanuel Jr.'s son, Wash. Campbell was founded in 1828 from Coweta, Carroll, DeKalb, and Fayette counties. It became part of Fulton county on January 1, 1932.
Between 1830-1833, Emanuel Teal Jr. died in Carroll county, located just west of Campbell on the Georgia-Alabama state line. Carroll had just been formed in 1826 from land ceded by the Indians. Carroll's county seat is at Carrollton. In 1834, Emanuel's son, Wash Teal, sold land to Lacy Hattaway in nearby Campbell County.
By 1836, Loderick Teal had joined his sons in Harris County, then moved on to Coosa county, Alabama by 1850, where he was living with his son, Jordan Teal.
In the 1850 census of Heard county, Georgia, Jesse Teal (unknown relation to the other Teals) was living with his wife, Mary Hattaway Teal, their young daughters, and Mary's brother, Emanuel Hattaway, along with Sarah Green. No Hattaway or Teals were listed in the 1840 census of Heard county and Jesse's was the only Teal or Hattaway household in the county in 1850. Jesse and Mary had married in Campbell county in 1844. Although no known connection is made between Jesse Teal and Sarah Green, William Teal Jr.'s granddaughter, Sarah Teal married a man named Little Berry Green, but she would have been about 30 in 1850 and married with children. Heard, which was due south of Carroll on the state line, was founded in 1830 from Carroll, Troup, and Coweta counties with its county seat at Franklin, Georgia.
In 1855, Martha Teal, widow of Emanuel Teal Jr. filed for a Confederate pension application in Carroll county where her husband had died some twenty years before. In 1860, Wash Teal, Emanuel Teal Jr.'s son by his first wife, was in the census of Paulding county, which was north of Carroll. Wash died in Paulding in 1872. Dallas, the county seat of Paulding, was set in 1832 when the county was formed from Indian lands. The Little family was living next door to Wash in 1860 - some relation to his wife, Sarah Elizabeth Little Teal, originally from Pitt County, NC. Sarah Little Teal's parents were Isaac Little and Delilah TEAL.
The Teals continued west into Alabama, Loderick settling in Coosa, William Teal Jr.'s son Joshua at Randolph, and several of Lacy and Elizabeth Teal Hattaway's grandchildren in Cleburne County, Alabama, before moving further west to Texas.
