Son of George Teegarden (1744-1815) and Rachel Pribble Teegarden (1751-1818) of Pitt Gas, Pennsylvania. (The Descendants of Abraham Tegarden; pub. 1988).

Progressive Men and Women of Kosciusko County, Indiana, p. 434; pub. 1902 (excerpt from the bio of Mrs. Aaron[Rachel] Rockhill, his daughter:

Rachael Teegarden, daughter of George and Sarah (Teel) Teegarden, was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, on the 22nd day of July, 1832. Her paternal grandfather, a native of Germany, came to the United States a great many years ago and settled in Greene county, Pennsylvania, where his son George was born and reared.

George Teegarden was reared a farmer and when a young man married Sarah Teel, whose ancestors also came from Germany and in an early day settled in the county and state where the Teegardens originally located. He engaged in agricultural pursuits in Greene county and continued to live there till he came to Columbiana county, Ohio. He later disposed of his possessions in that county and migrated to Kosciusko county. Indiana, about 1851. settling in the township of Harrison.

Here he purchased land, cleared a farm and became one of the substantial and enterprising men of his community. He was a pronounced Methodist in his religious views and as long as he lived worked zealously to establish organizations of that faith in various parts of the country. His moral character was pure and clear, his influence was always exercised in behalf of the good of his kind and he left to his children a name and fame which the tongue of slander never attacked and which today are deemed of far greater worth than a heritage of lands and gold.

George and Sarah Teegarden had nine children, whose names are Eliza, Lavica, Solomon, Thomas, Moses, William, Jeremiah, George and Rachael.
