Wyatt was the son of George & Rebecca Teel. George Washington Teel was a member of the Old Three Hundred. George Teel became a successful farmer and landowner. He took an active part in the early Methodist movement in the newly formed San Augustine Municipality.George was also selected as one of the fifteen trustees to form the board of the University of San Augustine.
Wyatt married Margaret Jane POLK daughter of Benjamin F. Polk and Margaret"maggie" Polk of San Augustine, TX. The POLK family seemed related to almost everyone who was anyone in deep east Texas politics, as well as to national figures like President James K. Polk.
Jane and Wyatt were the parents of:
*Ben D. Teel - b.3-10-1860. d. 1-31-1931; married Cora Womack
*Edward J.- b.11-5-1864, d. 8-10-1937
*John S.Teel - b. Aug 30, 1867 d. Sep 14, 1915; married to Alef Collins b. Aug 27, 1875 d. Jan 12, 1958. Both buried in San Augustine City Cemetery.
*Lucette Teel- b. July 28,1873, d.July 29, 1961; married DR. W. K. Freeman, b.Dec 31, 1870, d. Jun 7, 1927; both Lucett and husband are both buried in the Shiloh cem, outside of San Augustine, TX
*W.H.Teel - b.1 May 1875,d.30 Dec 1930 ; married Lillian McLaurin ,San Augustine City Cemetery.
*Lucius Polk Teel - b.6-20-1878, d. 8-11-1951; married Maggie Lister
Civil War period:
Wyatt Teel enlisted March 1, 1862, his Captain was John H Broocks at the time.
27th Cavalry Regiment [also called 1st Texas Legion] was organized during the spring of 1862 using Whitfield's 4th Texas Cavalry Battalion as its nucleus. Many of the men were recruited at Daingerfield, Clarksville, and Paris, and in Titus County. After fighting at Elkhorn Tavern as a battalion, only 9 officers and 111 men were present. The unit moved east of the Mississippi River and was dismounted. It then fought at Iuka and Corinth and during the fall was remounted. Later it saw action in Mississippi, was assigned to Ross' Brigade, took part in the Atlanta and Tennessee Campaigns, then returned to Mississippi. This regiment was organized with 1,007 officers and men, lost twenty-two percent of the 460 engaged at Iuka, and surrendered only a handful on May 4, 1865. The field officers were Colonels John W. Whitfield and Edwin R. Hawkins, Lieutenant Colonel John H. Broocks, and Majors Cyrus K. Holman and John T. Whitfield. Lt. Colonel John H. Broocks is also buried in San Augustine county.
1860 Census shows Wyatt and Jane with child, Ben living with his mother Rebecca Teel. Also on the census with them was Jackson Fitzgerald, age 65
In Jane's father-in-law will (George W. Teel)I thought I would drop a copy of the sweet note that he left in his will for Jane. Apparently he loved her like one of his own children. "I have heretofore given and conveyed to the wife of my son Wyatt Teel what I estimated at a full equal share of a childs part of my estate as the part of my estate which was intended to be given by me to the said Wyatt and I hereby ratify and confirm the said gift to my said daughter in law Jane the wife of my said son Wyatt."
