Pamela, thank you for the info. on Jacob M. Teach. I had "found" a Jacob M. Teach in Santa Monica, CA through census records put concluded that it was another Jacob Teach because his wife's name (Minnie) was not that of my great-great grandmother whose name was Rebecca and who was listed in the Los Angeles City Directory as a widow while the Jacob Teach in Santa Monica was still alive. However, on Rebecca (Snyder) Teach's death certificate (d. 1926) her son stated that his maternal grandmother's maiden name was Elliot, but it would seem that Elliot was the maiden name Jacob's mother, not Rebecca's. Do you know if the divorce took place in Dallas County, Iowa? Thanks again for the puzzle piece. Cousin David.

I'd guess since he was able to divorce Rebecca on the 23rd and marry Minnie on the 29th, it may have all took place in Dallas Co, Iowa. Your best bet is check with the Circuit Clerk there? There might've even been a scandal! It might be in the newspapers there. (I'm REAL big on reading the old newspapers, most of the time who-went-to-who's-house-for-a-visit was dutifully recorded in small towns. Most small towns had one busybody whose actual JOB it was to supply the editor with the comings goings, and they took it seriously. For us, it's a real boon: It really fleshes out the charts to have those one-liners the dates.) Best wishes, cousin Pamela.

Hi, Pamela. Thanks for the reply. I'll check with the Circuit Clerk in Dallas Co., Iowa, as you suggested. Where did you happen to find the info. about who Jacob's parents were and about his divorce and remarriage? This isn't info. I've come across on this website. And - sorry about all the questions - how are you related to Jacob? Or, aren't you?

In the 1960s, Joseph LaVerne Teach researched the origins of the TEACH-Dietz family (to see if he was related to Blackbeard...answer: NO, Edward Teach was English)and then he contacted dozens of his relatives for help and their info.

They in turn created a huge spiderweb of info, documenting their own families and returning the info to Joseph.

He published it in 1978 and all the contributors got a copy of the book. I found out about the book just this Spring.
Right now I know of at least a half-dozen relatives who have copies. I am trying to help all of us who are asking questions, if I find it in the book, I'm passing it on.

In the late 1990s Genealogy became a hot 'fad' and everybody is trying to link up, but we are more aware of "documenting" than Joseph was. His book helps a little, it lists who the main sources were, as well as explaining they spent many years personally sitting in the LDS library in Utah. These people, now long deceased, were dedicated to preserving the lineage as accurately as they could.

Your Mathias Maria>Jacob M line lists 7 different TEACH people as sources, as well as listing they used newspaper obituaries, public recs, and pension applications from Jacob M his brother Matthew as their sources.

Does this help at all? I know, for documenting we need book page with the info. I suggest to use the info only as a guide as to where to look for your records.

As for your Mathias, who was son of Mathias:

Petter>Mathias> MATHIAS, the last born son, who m Maria,

and I come from his older brother Peter Pete's son Jacob S.

Any help?

My brother, Jim Neal, and I have been doing research on the Teach family. He has done most of the work up until now, and I am trying to take over. I seem to have stumbled across you on this site. We come from the Petter<Mathius<Jacob<Jacob<Daniel Teach line.
