Andrew Teachman and wife Eleanor were living in Elkland Township, Tioga County, PA in 1850 (Source: 1850 Federal Census, Elkland Township). This census record states their birthplace as NY, Andrew at 75 years of age and Eleanor at 61 years of age. Their son John (22 years old) was living with them when the census was taken. Not far from this house lived another son named Abner (my family notes indicated his name might have been Abram) and his wife Louisa. The census lists them as born in NY, Abner 29 years old and Louisa 31. Children listed include Emaline 14, David 10, Maria 8, and Amy 6. All the children were born in PA. The 10 year old David just mentioned, later married another neighbor named Martha Vansile/VanZile. She too is in this census. Her family was listed as follows: Stephen Vansile age 27 born NY, Jerusha age 28 born NY, Sarah E. age 7, Martha A. age 4, Angeline age 3, David A. age 5 months. My family records (Teachman family bible) have Martha two years older than this as well as her surname spelled VanZile. I may have more in my files, please email direct with questions:
