The author is greatly indebted to scores of persons who provided dates, documents^ and background material from fragments to records of whole families for this Genealogy. Special mention must be made of and credit given to Bernice West Youngblood of Jasper^ Alabama, who furnished the key to the early history of "Shank"; to Robert Lee Shank and (Miss)Clifford Shank of Washington, Georgia; to Brooksie Brown of Ft. Gaines, Georgia; to John Wallace Shank and Carl Shank respectively of Tyler and Center, Texas; to Austin Kay of Kilgore, Texas; to Paul J. Anderson of Anniston, Ala. for furnishing nearly all of the data on the descendants of Elijah Teague 8; to lone Swann Rainer of Albuquerque, N. M.; Jonnie Swann Joyce of Alpine, Texas; Major James Swann of Chicago, Illinois; to Lou Degoede of Caldwell, Idaho; to Anna Jfery Shank Hitt of Big Spring, Texas and her son, Rev. Harold Parks Hitt of Lindale, Texas; to Mrs. Effie M. Neale of Jackson, Miss, for Genealogy of Catery C. Swann, and to Misses Ruth Considine and Sylva Tanberg in the Genealogical Division of the Denver Public Library, whose patience and helpfulness were without limit.
The original data on "Degoede" is written in Dutch and requires both a skilled interpreter and genealogist for correct interpretation.
This material has been repeatedly checked and edited, yet it is almost certain errors have crept in. Much of the statistical data has been copied many times by many people. In a few instances data from different sources has disagreed. The most likely has been used. Early day writing is often confusing, with similarities between 1 and 7; 7 and 9; 3 and 5, and with the same name in the same document not uncommonly spelled two ways. Consequently, the author declines to be held responsible for these or other errors.

The Author 47. JULY I960 INTRODUCTION The first identifiable Shank of this Genealogy was born in Pennsylvania in 1761; the first identifiable Teague was an adult in North Carolina in 17^0; and the first identifiable Swann was acquiring land in North Carolina in 1765. A bit of orientation in what brought them here is in order., Most of the early immigrants to Pennsylvania were natives of the Palatine in southwest Germany and of adjacent areas in Switzerland, who fled from devastating wars, religious persecution, impressed military service, and burdensome taxes., Kuhns in "German and Swiss Settlements of Colonial Pennsylvania" says: "The inhabitants of the Palatinate are the descendants of the group of German tribes called the Rheinfranken, with an admixture of the Alemanni„.... They are still among the best farmers in the world, in many districts having cultivated the soil for thirty generations=....distinguished for indomitable industry, keen wit, independence and a high degree of intelligence." A series of events triggered their migration to America beginning about 1710 and maintained it until the Revolutionary War. James Truslow Adams in "The Epic of America" says: ".....the results of the Thirty Years War which ended in 1648 had been ghastly beyond comparison. One county alone (in Germany) had lost 85 per cent of its horses, over 80 per cent of its cattle, 65 per cent of its houses, while 75 per cent of its people had been killed.....To all of this was added political and religious persecution. Between 1683 and 1727 probably twenty thousand of these unfortunate Germans emigrated to Pennsylvania." So favored was this land (in Germany) that recovery was rapid after the end of the Thirty Years War until in the years 167^-75 the war between France and Holland brought destruction once more. Kuhns says, "The scenes that followed surpassed even the horrors of the Thirty Years War.....At the conclusion of hostilities, the Protestant Church in the Palatinate was practically crushed..... The devastation and pillage did not include Switzerland which received many refugees from negh'boring areas. However, the lower classes who tilled the land and labored with their hands, had no share in government and but little freedom.....The traffic in soldiers which was a constant source of discontent among the people was a primary cause of Swiss emigration to America." The final blow was the privation and hardship of the unusually severe winter of 1708-09. John Caruso in "The Appalachian Frontier" says, "In December 1708 wine and liquor froze into solid masses.....In January 1709 saliva congealed before it touched the ground. Before the month ended most of Western Europe was buried in ice and snow. All the rivers, including the swift Rhone were frozen; all along the Coast the Sea was solid enough to bear heavily laden carts. Persecuted by their rulers and ruined by the wintry blasts, many Palatine husbandmen and winedressers resolved to leave their wretched country.....The Majority were transported to New York and Pennsylvania." Kuhns ascribes the 1710 Migration to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to the Swiss and says that "between 1710 and 1717 there were no large arrivals of Germans at Philadelphia." Lancaster and surrounding counties were rapidly settled, the first of these settlements being at the mouth of Conestoga Creek about twelve miles south¬ west of Lancaster. Rupps "Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania, lists: 1709 Johannes Sehenck 1712 Michael Schenck I The first list of taxahles in 1717-1718 lists five Schencks or Shanks, depending on the source and the spelling. The name, along with many others, was immediately anglicized in public records, virtually all officialdom in Pennsylvania being Anglo- Saxon then and for some time afterward. Some of these immigrants moved south and west to Maryland and Virginia and as early as 1732 Pennsylvania Germans made their way along the Shenandoah Valley and settled Rockingham and Shenandoah Counties (at first this was Dunmore County). But for fifty years or more the Allegheny Mountains presented an almost impassable barrier from Lake Erie to Georgia. Included in the names of the early German and Swiss immigrants are hundreds who have added luster to the business, political, military and professional scene in America. Such are Swope, Steinmetz, Weber, Eichelberger, Kreitzer, Trautwein, Schwab, .Schweitzer, Shantz, Keplinger, Hoover, Eisenhauer and many others. Moving nearly simultaneously with the Germans were English, Scotch Highlanders, Welsh and Scotch-Irish. They were largely descendants of Scots and Englishmen who migrated to Ulster in North Ireland, which by the end of the Seventeenth Century was predominantly Scotch-Irish and Protestant. They fled their native country with the restoration of the Stuarts. Caruso in "The Appalachian Frontier” says "Their commercial success, which was considerable, proved their undoing. England passed laws prohibiting importation from Ulster of the produce of the Scotch-Irish and in 1670 passed acts excluding their vessesl from the American Trade. In 1699 they were prohibited from exporting manufactured wool to any country and in 1704 an act excluded Presbyterians from all civil and military offices and forbade their ministers from celebrating marriages on pain of fine and imprisonment. These were the tyrannies which impelled the Scotch-Irish immigration. They came through New York, Newcastle, Philadelphia and Baltimore. By 1750 they had occupied the mountainous region of Pennsylvania as far west as Bedford. They then turned south into Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. By 1750 Scotch-Irish were in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina in numbers. Because they had been oppressed, they believed in freedom; because they were underprivileged they believed in social and political equality.....The poverty and dangers they shared in common made them equals. They were bold, persistent, aggressive and boastful.....Their responses to their environment converted short¬ comings into the virtues they needed to survive and succeed on the frontier." Among them were the ancestors of John Sevier, Sam Houston, Andrew Jackson, George Rogers Clark, William Blount, Jefferson Davis, Davy Crockett and many other names contemporary with epic achievements. The names Blount and Davis occur in the family line of the author's paternal forebears, and it is certain that the first Swann of this Genealogy was in this migration. It seems more likely that the Teague line which is Celtic (deriving from TAIDHG) came to America from England or Scotland via the Barbados, although some family tradition says the name is Scotch- Irish. This line seems not to have landed north of Virginia, ans possibly not north of North Carolina. The many persons herein who reached maturity and some of whom married but whose issue thereafter are unaccounted for, offer unlimited opportunities for further and interesting search. It is hoped this will stimulate others to attempt it. It should be soon. The longer it is postponed the dimmer the trail and the fainter the scent. There is known to be much interesting biography of people which could have been included herein had the subjects been less modest. Henry Mercer Shank III Denver, Colorado - August i960 II EXPLANATION The method of accounting for persons in genealogical order, as used herein, is the only way to account for large numbers and at the same time show quickly, family relationships. It is easily understood with a little study and is oest explained by illustration. For example, assume John Smith married Mary Jones and they have three children and that each of these three also have three children. They are accounted for as follows: First Generation 1 John Smith 1, b. 1800, m. Mary jones 1827, b. 1810. He d. 1852, she d. 1855* Children: 2 George 3 Frank 4 Henry Biographical or other data on John and Mary here. Second Generation 2 George 2 (John l), b. 1830, m. Elizabeth White l855> b. 1833* He d. 1885, she d. 1890. Children: 5 Charles 6 Abner 7 James Biographical or other data on George and Elizabeth here. 3 Frank 2 (John 1), b. 1832, m. Catherine Black 185^, b. 1834, he d. 1870, she d. 1875* Children: 8 Joseph 9 Harold 10 Phillip Biographical or other data on Frank and Catherine here. 4 Henry 2 (John 1), b. 1834, m. Sarah Jenkins 1854, he d. l875> she d. 1880. Children: 11 William 12 Ward 13 Thomas Third Generation 5 Charles 3 (George 2, John l), b. etc., m. etc., Children: 14 15 16 6 Abner 3 (George 2, John 1), b. etc., m. etc., Children: 16 IT 18 III 7 Janies 3 (George 2, John 1), b. etc., m. etc.. Children: 19 20 21 etc., etc., generation by generation It will he seen that the parenthesized data after a name provides direct lineage instantly, even though it gets cumbersome in a long family line. Theoretically any number of related persons can be accounted for by this system in a rational waj Abbreviations such as "b." born; "d." died; "m." married; "r." resident; "ca" (circa) about; "s.l." same lineage; "o.n.r." otherwise no record, are self-evident, The Author GENEALOGY OF JOHN SHANK Ellis and Evans' monumental "History of Lancaster County Pennsylvania" says the first white settlement was made in what is now Lancaster Co. Conestoga Tp. in 1710. Rupps "Thirty Thousand Names etc." shows "Johannes Schenck and 58 other males in Lancaster Co. in 1709* Michael Schenck shows in a list of 1712. In 1717-18 the first tax list shows: John (illegible)Sr. John Shank Michael Shank Sr. Michael Shank Jr. Christian Shank The relationship of these five is uncertain but they obviously were not brothers. It seems likely John Sr. and Michael Sr. were brothers and the other three sons. The given names John, Michael and Christian appear as heads of family in the 1790 census of this general area, respectively, 18, 5 and 9 times. These immigrants came from the Upper Rhine, Switzerland and what is now western Czecho-Slovakia. It is significant that two of the first townships in Lancaster Co. were Manheim(sic) and Strasburg, suggesting the first settlers may have come from the vicinity of these two cities which are about 75 miles apart. It is probable that John 1 was a grandson of Johannes. It would be futile to try to prove it by public records for they were not made or kept at that time. In any case it would likely be impossible to distinguish one John Shank from another. The name was anglicized in the first public documents although the spelling was variously Shenk, Schenk, Schenck but with Shank predominating. It means cup-bearer or wine-taster (for the king); sometimes as "butler." 2 SHANK First Generation 1 John 1. b. probably Conestoga Tp. Lancaster Co. Pa. July 1761 m. ca 1782 Ann Alldorffer (also Alterfer). He d. 1835 Wilkes Co. Ga. She d. Wilkes Co. Ga. Children: 2 Henry 3 John Jr. 4 George 5 Felix 6 Mariah John 1 is the first generation of the family in America of whom there is documentary proof and family record. He is believed to be a grandson of Johannes Schenck estimated to be 21 years old in 1712 or born 1691* Ann Alldorffer b. ca 1763, wife of John 1 is believed to be the grand-daughter of Friedrick Alldorffer who arrived in Philadelphia on ship "Samuel" from Rotterdam 17 Aug 1733* This is the first and only time this family name occurs in Rupp’s "Thirty Thousand Names" etc. The 1790 census lists in Montgomery Co. Pa. four heads of family by the name Allderffer (sic), viz. Abram, Jacob, John and Joseph. They are the only ones in Pennsylvania in 1790. It may be surmised the name was originally Altdorfer or "old villager." John 1 spelled the name in old family records "Alterfer." Kuhns attributes Altendorffer to Switzerland and it is possible or even probable that Johannes Schenck was Swiss. The 1790 census of Shenandoah Co. Va., lists as heads of family Antony Alterfer and John Alterfer but this is probably a corrupted spelling. The deposition, which follows, made by 1 John in 1834 fully supports all of the applicable preceding conclusions. GEORGIA, ) LINCOLN COUNTY. ) On this the twenty-seventh day of October 1834, personally appeared in open court before me, Garrett Andrews, Presiding Judge of said County, John Shank Senior, a resident of Wilkes County and State aforesaid, aged seventy three years in July last past according to the family records of the family, and who being duly according to law doth on his oath make the following declar¬ ation in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the Act of Congress passed June 7; 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers and served as hereinafter stated: Some time in the month of November in the year 1779; Capt. Abram Keller of the United States Army went into the State of Virginia from where he had been stationed more westwardly, and at Williamsburg drew money in order to recruit for the western service and went into the County of Dunsmore where he had previously lived and where deponent resided at the time (but now the County is changed to Shenandoah as deponent is informed) and commenced re¬ cruiting. Capt. Keller was a distant relation to deponent and was extremely anxious to get him, deponent, to enlist and give a stimulus to others to SHAM 3 engage in the service. Deponent did enlist for one year. Also Joseph Painter and Jacob Tucker enlisted from the same county and one Abram Miller, and about two weeks or thereabout from the date stated above, the time of enlistment, to- wit November 17'79> we started for headquarters on Ohio, and on arriving at the Monongahaly (sic) river we built a boat, flat bottom, to carry the recruits with provisions, which occupied a month or thereabout. We then descended the river until we arrived at falls of Ohio, then joined the army under General Clark. Deponent was attached to Colonel Montgomerys Regiment and marched down the river to the mouth of the Ohio. Six miles below the mouth of that river a place was selected to build a Fort and the work commenced. The Indians about this time committed some depredations in the neighborhood and General Clark with the principal part of the army marched off in pursuit of them leaving Colonel Lewis with a detachment to proceed to build and complete the fortifica¬ tion which was done. Deponent was among those who remained and assisted to the completion of the work on the Fort, and the Fort was called after Lewis, Fort Lewis, and which was the place of rendezvous for Captain Keller to whose company deponent w§,s attached and remained during the term of his service. When de¬ ponent's term of service for which he enlisted was about to expire he was pre¬ vailed on by Capt. Keller and his fellow soldiers to continue which he consented to for another year, and served out the two years. During the term deponent was in no engagement, but was several times on scouting parties which was often sent out to drive off the savages and keep peace and quietude with the settlers. General Clark frequently was at the Fort in passing and repassing in pursuit of the enemy. A detachment was sent from the Fort against the Chickisaw Indians, at another time against Fort Detroit. Deponent remained at those times with the others to defend the fort and during one of those excursions the Indians surrounded the Fort seven hundred strong, said to be, and the Fort manned at the time with forty men only. Occasionally a gun fired from the Fort when the enemy was discovered, which continued three days and nights. When General Clark with his forces arrived in the neighborhood the Indians abandoned their attempts against the Fort. Deponent is unable to state the dates of any of the excursions made or the points directed as it was a frontier country except those already named, yet he was called out several times on scouting parties. Some short time previous to the end of Deponents service of two years Capt. Keller with a soldier named Armstrong went to the boat landing half mile or about below the Fort, discovered some Indian sign, stepped into a boat and in¬ tending to pass across the river to make further examination when they were both shot by the Indians, Capt. Keller through the upper lip just under his nose, the bullet passing into the back of his neck, lodged. Armstrong was wounded in the right shoulder. The solders from the Fort hearing the guns went down and carried them to the Fort. The Indians had fled. They both recovered from wounds, but Capt. Keller determined to return home as his voice and articulation was much disordered, and endeavoured to prevail on deponent at the end of his term of service aforesaid to remain and go with him as he should necessarily have to remain some longer to make preparation on quitting the service; but Deponent being anxious to return objected to waiting and was discharged at the falls of the Ohio by Col. Montgomery and returned home to his County where he had enlisted. Capt. Keller soon after, started in company with Armstrong who was wounded with him previously and on Cumberland Mountain were both murdered by the Indians as supposed, robbed and stripped of their clothes. Deponent some short time after return home removed to Rockingham County in Virginia, the adjoining County, where he resided until 1793y when he removed to the State of Georgia and County of Wilkes in the neighborhood where he now resides and where he has resided ever since. 4 SHAM Deponent swears that he faithfully served his country as before stated two years, that he is unable to prove the same by documentary testimony so far as he knows, nor has the discharge given him it long since having been destroyed or lost, but will be enabled by Andrew Wolf, a Revolutionary soldier who resided near him during the Revolution where he knew him well before and after the services rendered, also by Christopher Poss who resided in the adjoining County, was acquainted with Deponent about the time and his belief and knowledge of the services rendered, also by the Rev. John H. Walker, Ethelred Poss and John Grice, inhabitants of Lincoln County who will state their knowledge of Deponent for many years, the standing as well as Deponents claim as a Revolutionary soldier. Deponent further shears that he was born in Pennsylvania, the County he does not now recollect, as he left there a child. Deponents father kept no record of the children's ages and he is only from the statement of his relatives enabled to say how old he is and that not to a day. His father died whilst he was young. Deponent resides as stated before in Wilkes and has been induced to apply in Lincoln County on account of the distance being six miles and to have attended Washington, Wilkes County, upward of twelve miles. The friend who has undertaken my business is an old friend and works gratis which is another induce¬ ment to one who is infirm and badly calculated to get out. Deponent further swears his name is on no pension roll of any agency of any State and hereby relinquishes all but this. Sworn to in open court the 27th day of October, 1834 Garrett Andrews J.S.C.N.C. His John X Shank, Sr. Mark This application for pension was allowed, but was paid only once. John Shank, Sr. died in 1835.

The "Clark" referred to is George Rogers Clark, -who vas actually a Colonel at this time. This is the hero of Kaskaskia and Vincennes. 3. The "Falls of the Ohio" are at Louisville Ky. 4. The official name of the fort which John Shank helped to build at the mouth of the Ohio was Ft. Jefferson. It was on the Kentucky side of the Mississippi and figures prominently in correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and George Rogers Cjark. 5. The Capt. Keller (Abram) referred to is mentioned several times in the "George Rogers Clark Papers„" 6. "The Illinois Country"--Alvord records that: "Throughout the summer of 1780 the Illinois people were continually harassed by Indian attacks. Ft. Jefferson under¬ went a severe siege." 7. Wilkes Co. Ga. up to 1796 included most of the northeast part of the state. John 1 settled in what then and now is Wilkes Co. It was one of the earliest settle¬ ments in Georgia. John W. Wayland author of "History of Shenandoah Co. Va." Chapter 12 says: "In 1778-1779 George Rogers Clark and others, mainly Virginians, but less than 200 in number, conquered the vast country northwest of Ohio River and made it a part of Virginia. The area includes what is now Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. If it had not been conquered by Clark, and held by Virginia, at the end of the Revolution, when the treaty of peace of 1783 was made, it would almost certainly have been recognized as British territory and be a part of Canada today. "The service of Clark's little band was phenomenal....They gave us an empire.... They were outstanding heroes. The history of this country hardly affords them a parallel....Considerable numbers of these men were from Shenandoah County, Va. These facts should implant in all the sons and daughters of old Shenandoah (^daughter of the stars') a perpetual incentive to courage and fidelity." This same source says that John Shank lived between Edinburg and Woodstock, Shenandoah County. This may have been the father of John of Revolutionary War Service or even an uncle. There were 3 "Johns" in the 1790 census of Shenandoah of which one was the soldier. John Shank conducted business at court in Woodstock in 1774• The 1790 census shows heads of family spelled S-H-A-N-K as follows: 39 in Pennsylvania (of which 22 are in Lancaster Co.) 13 in Maryland counties adjoining Pennsylvania. 8 in Virginia including 3 "John" and 1 "Michael." The relationship of geography and topography forces the conclusion that they were all from the original settlers in Pennsylvania. John 1 may be concluded to be head of family of three in the 1790 census of Shenandoah County, Va. The third member of this family could be 2 Henry. Second Generation 2 Henry 2 (John 1) b. 27 June 1784 in Rockingham (or Shenandoah) Co. Va., d. 1846. 6 SHANK ra. 1st 22 Sept. 1808 Susannah Poss b. 30 July 1787 d. 10 Oct l8l8 Wilkes Co. Ga.

Children: 12 Maria 13 Frances Cordelia 14 Henry Allin 15 Julianna m. 3^d, 14 Sept. 1828 Susannah Wellmaker. Children: 16 Mary America ("Mackie") 17 Felix Wellmaker 18 Caroline 19 George Franklin ("Frank") 20 Henry Mercer 21 Frances Cordelia 22 Susan Savannah All except the last three are in a family record in possession of Bernice West Youngblood of Jasper, Ala. The latter three are in the -will of Henry Shank together with "America, Caroline, Felix, and George Franklin." Also the latter three are in i860 census of Macon Co. Ala. in the household of Susannah Shank together with America and Caroline. Year of birth of Frances and Susan is deduced from i860 census. All other birth dates are from family records. The 1850 census of Wilkes Co. Ga. showed Susannah as head Of family with America 20, Caroline 17, Frances C. 7, Susan S. 5, Felix W. 18-, George F. l6, Polly 36 years of age. There are thus two puzzling statistics. First, according to family history Frances, daughter of Henry and Nelly died 19 June 1825, yet Henry's will and both 1850 and i860 censuses list Frances, Frances C. or Frances Cordelia. Second, it is not clear why Henry Mercer I is in the i860 census but not in the 1850 census when he was 9 years old. Out of all this, we find Frances, b. 1822 d. 1825; Frances C. b. 1843 (per 1850 census); Henry Allin b. 1824, d. 1827; Henry Mercer b. l84l; Savannah b. l8l8 and Susan Savannah b. 1845 (per will and 1850 census). The naming of a second child the same as an earlier deceased one was not uncommon at that time, however, and is probably the ex¬ planation.

His first experience with death was with the passing of his grandmother which is still recalled as a child’s nightmare. She is remembered as a great and gracious lady. She was an accomplished pianist and piano teacher. Henry Mercer I operated a small truck farm and nursery in Smith Co. Texas until his death. The name "Mercer” is not originally a Shank family name. Rather, it is the name of the Georgia preacher, educator and philanthropist, Jesse Mercer, who came to Wilkes' Co. from Halifax, N.C. in 1790° "He was a kind of bishop of the Baptist Church." He founded Mercer Institute which later became Mercer University at Macon, Ga.

Children: 191 Henry Mercer Shank TV m. 2nd Elizabeth Hamper-Tilleard 17 June 1934, b. 20 Sept. 1911 Radersburg, Mont. Children: 192 Carolan The author's first recollections are of a three room clap-board cabin with a "gallery", on a farm in the timbered sand hills of East Texas; of flaming cardinals and mocking birds and screaming blue Jays; the eerie note of screech owls; of red buds and dogwood and magnolia in April; the fragrance of wild plum in bloom; the honk of wild geese in October--these are truly treasured memories. Almost the next recollection is of crushing poverty. Practically all the settlers were dependent largely on what could be wrested from the soil which, under most favorable circumstances, was scant. Two incidents worsened this— first the depression of 1907 and thereafter during which few people had any money and, second, and at the same time, his father was injured in an accident from which he never fully recovered. Only the indomitable courage and determination of his mother carried the family through rough times. He and his brother carried on such farm operations as could be managed, which was not much at their age. The family was never hungry but for years there was little money. With a less bounti¬ ful nature they would probably have starved. This bred a self-reliance which has been invaluable. Two other‘circumstances had a marked effect on his future. From his Uncle Tom Swann, a civil engineer, he got an apprenticeship in the profession and a 18 SHAM love of mathematics which has been the fascination of a lifetime. Second, the back- woods school first attended was taught one year by John W. Thomason, Jr., who later went on to become a Marine Brigadier General and author and artist of national reputation. Next to his mother, this man had more to do with forming his character than any other. From him it was learned that there are no handicaps which, with enough resolution, cannot be overcome. ft . The imminence and prospective excitement of World War I led to enlistment in Army Engineers in 1916. Served on Mexican border during Bancho Villa incident. In 111th Engineers at Ft. Worth, Texas 1917 as master engineer. To Engineer Officer Training Camp in December 1917• Commissioned 2nd lieutenant May 1918. Duty at Camp Devens, I^foss. and Camp (now Fort) Humphrey, Va. until August 1918. Overseas with regiment of heavy construction engineers with assignment to dock construction at St. Nazaire France. Returned U. S. July 1919 with 129th Engineers. Went to Utah where employed on irrigation and highway engineering, joining U. S. Forest Service in 1921. Worked for thirteen years out of Regional Office at Ogden, Utah on wide variety of engineering and administrative assignments. Supervisor of Idaho National Forest 1936-40; Assistant Chief of Operation 1941-42; regional engineer (Utah, Nevada, Idaho and part of Wyoming) 1943-45; nationwide assignment, Office of Chief Engineer, 1946-1950; regional engineer Colorado, part of Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas 1950-59 and retired at end of 1959* The regional assignments were equivalent to a member of the board of directors managing a twenty million acre government property. Whatever measure of success the author has had is due to the fact that he has always had to run to keep up with the competition and that he never quit studying. 135 Thomas Swann Shank 5 (s.l. as 134) b. 21 Sept. 1899> m.

The following is from records in Dutch in possession of Lou Degoede of Caldwell, Idaho. Jan de Goede, b. , d. 20 Jan. 1692, may have been the first of the line. He is of record in the Archives of Haarlem, Holland. The first known and succeeding members of the family in direct line are: First Generation 1 Ariaen (old Dutch spelling) de Goede, b. 17 Dec. 1702, d. 6 Oct. 1762. * Second Generation 2 Cornelius de Goede, b. 15 June 1729, d. 26 Oct. 1795* Third Generation 3 Arian de Goede, b. 29 Jan. 1766, d. 27 Dec. l8l4. Fourth Generation 4 Cornelius de Goede, b. 2 Apr. 1809, d. 23 Nov. 1871. Fifth Generation 5 Jan de Goede, b. 7 Oct. 1830, d. 10 Dec. 1877, m. Jannetje Hagedoorn, b. 12 Jan. 1833, d. 9 Oct. 1912. 28 DEGOEDE Sixth Generation 6 Lubertus de Goede, b. 28 Feb. l86l, d. 20 Sept. 1938> m. Geertje Ellerbrock, b. 26 June 1865, living in i960 in Huize v/s Kasteele, Zutphen, Holland, 15 miles from the German border and 20 miles from Arnhem. During WW II (19^) this city was bombed by the Allies. A bridge was blown up by the retreating Germans, 3 blocks away. This old lady then 79 years old, sat in the basement of her home while the windows and part of the roof were demolished. The real suffering was: no fuel for heating purposes and very small food rations. She was fortunate in having funds to buy from the black market and friends who fended for her.

GENEALOGY OF ELIJAH TEAGUE The first record of a Teague uncovered in this search is Richard, who died in Northampton County, Va. in 1660 leaving a will. John Teague made will in "Carolina" in 1703 naming wife Mary "and only child Lucretia." He had brothers Frances and William. Wife Mary was in Barbados at time will was made. Thomas Teague of North¬ ampton County, Va. whose will was filed in Dec. 1733* named sons Daniel, Thomas, James and daughters Rachel (Nottingham), Abigail (Scott or Stott), Margaret and wife Esther. William Teague, possibly the brother of John, above, secured numerous land grants in New Hanover Co., N. C., about 17*4-5. This could have been nearly anywhere in what is now North or South Carolina. Assuming him to have been 25 years old at that time, he would have been born ca 1720. He could therefore have been a brother of Elijah 1. No will has been found for either of them. William could not have been the father of Joshua 2 as deed shows him to have been "son and heir of Elijah." None of the preceding given names "fit" with the first Teagues of whom there is authentic public or family record, one of the chief sources being "Colonial Records of North Carolina," especially Vols. 7* 8 and 22. The latter has two notations as follows: "From the frontier for services done on the expedition against the Cherokees: Capt. Elijah Teague and Company, ranging" with allowances respectively of 13 pounds 16 shillings and 8 pence and 13-7-0. This was in 1759 and 1760. This could have been Elijah 1 or Elijah 3--more likely the former. First Generation 1 Elijah, b. ca 1718, d. prior to 1791* This date is arrived at on the assumption he was 25 years old when he sired Joshua 2, who must have been at least in his twenties when he was active in the Regulator Movement in 1768 (see later). Children: 2 Joshua 3 Capt. Elijah 4 Samuel 30 TEAGUE Elijah 1 died prior to 1791> evidenced by a deed in Newberry District, S.C., dated 1 April, 1791 made by "Joshua Teague son and heir of Elijah, deceased, for land between Broad and Saluda Rivers on Mire Branch of Bush River, originally granted to Elijah Teague." (Deed Book "B" pps. 5k4-^46 Newberry Dist. S.C.) This deed was witnessed by Samuel Teague which suggests he may have been a brother of Joshua 2 and Elijah 3» Also in a deed (Deed Book "D" p.2^+4, l4 May 1799> Newberty Co. S.C.) reference is made to "a tract contain (sic) 200 acres originally granted to Elijah Teague on the 27th Feb. 1771> and descended by hereditary right to Joshua Teague son of said Elijah." Second Generation 2 Joshua 2 (Elijah 1) left a will in l8o4 (Box 71> pkg 9, Office of Probate Court, Laurens, S.C.), b. ca 174U, d. ca 1804. m. Dorothy . Children: 5 William 6 Abner 7 Isabella (Mason) 8 Elijah 9 James 10 Sarah (Gary) only son-in-law William, mentioned. 11 Israel 12 Sophia (Lyon) 13 Mary (McAddams) 14 Susannah (Major) (See facsimile of Will) Two independent family records indicate brothers Joshua and Elijah moved to Newberry Dist. S.C. "before the Revolutionary War." Joshua's (2) signature is that of an old man, judged by its shakiness. He would have been 70 if the surmise about date of birth is correct. He was a leader in the Regulator Movement in North Carolina which the "Dictonary of American History" describes as follows: "A long struggle of settlers in the back counties of North Carolina (176^-1771) against oppressive administration of laws by corrupt officials and excessive fees charged by them, especially in Anson, Orange and Granville Counties. Center of the Movement was in Orange County. The second phase of the Movement (1769-71) took the form of driving local justices from the bench. At the September 1770 Session of Superior Court at Hillsboro....the court had hardly convened when 150 Regulators crowded the court room and insisted on being allowed to speak .... A leading lawyer was given a severe whipping. Edward Fanning who was regarded as a chief oppressor and three others were whipped. Governor Tr^on ordered arrest of the leaders. Preparations were made for a military expedition to Orange County and there resulted the Battle of Alamance. A large majority of historians vindicate the Regulators. The basic principle laid down by them was that they should pay no tax but what was lawful and imposed by their representatives in the Assembly. This was the great aim of American liberty." Governor Tryon ordered Gen. Mitchell to Hillsboro with a force of about 1000 militia. The Regulators to the number of 2000 had assembled on Alamance River, about half without arms and with no officer higher than Captain. The Provincial Army had TEAGUE 31 artillery and was adequately equipped. The battle, fought May 16, 1771> lasted two hours and ended in defeat for the Regulators. As a result of the defeat many of the Regulators migrated to other parts. This was the first blood spilled in resistance to exactions of English rulers. Elmer D. Johnson's Masters thesis (Univ. of N.C. ) "The War of The Regulation: Its Place in History" lists among known Regulators the following Teagues: Abraham, Edward, Elijah, John, Joshua, Moses and William. The part of Joshua 2 is evidenced by four actions outlined in "Colonial Records of North Carolina" Vol. 7» First, a letter by settlers to William Tryon, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in 1768 referring to "exactions and extortions of several officers of Orange County .... reports falsely spread .... and confiding in your assistance and favor to execute the laws against exactions ...." This was signed by Joshua Teague and 21 others. Second (Volume 8), a letter to Harmon Husbands who was a spearhead of the Regulator Movement and who on 9 June 1771 'was "outlawed and liable to be shot by any person with bounty of 100 pounds and 1000 acres of land, dead or alive." This letter dated Salisbury 14 Sept. 1769 details at three page length "exactions and extortions of public officials." Mentions specifically trouble of Elijah and Joshua Teague trying to get justice and ends: "for we are confident that it takes none in this country, to prevent the poor oppressed people to obtain justice than it would take under honest administration to support it." This letter is signed by Joshua Teague and four others. Third, a deposition made by one Avery in Mecklenburg Co. in 1771 > says in part: "This deponent learned the names of five of their (Regulator) Captains or leading men then present, viz. .... Joshua Teague" and four others. Fourth, from a proclamation of Gov. Tryon dated 31 May 1771: "Whereas I am informed that many persons who have been concerned in the late Rebellion are desirous of submitting themselves to the government, I do therefore give notice that every person who will come in .... lay down their arms, take the Oath of Allegiance and promise to pay all taxes that are now due .... and submit to laws of this country, shall have his Majesty's most gracious and free pardon for all Treasons, Insurrections and Rebellions .... provided they make their submission on or before 10th of June next. The following persons are however excepted from the benefits of this proclamation viz. Joshua Teague" (and 13 others). It will be seen therefore that Joshua Teague was virtually an outlaw with a price on his head in the spring of 1771 or earlier. The purpose of going into this at such length is to show first, that Elijah and Joshua Teague were in North Carolina before and during the Regulator Movement. Second that they left North Carolina to escape the wrath of the British Colonial Governor. Third, that they were in the Newberry-Laurens district of South Carolina after the summer of 1768 and prior to 1772 (when granted land). Evidence of Service to the Revolutionary cause is in the following document for supplies etc. Some of its details are illegible from age and are not included here. 32 TEAGUE 3 Elijah 2 (Elijah 1) b. ca 1744. He may have been older than Joshua 2. Children's names are from Will of 2 Oct. 1824 which might indicate he was born later than 1744. Will book MF" p. 20 Laurens Co., S.C. Children: 15 Elizabeth (Hipps) 16 Sarah (McAdams) 17 Mary (Wilson) 18 Catherine (McAdams) 19 Rebekah 20 Joshua 21 Robert 22 Abner Will of Elijah 3 was witnessed by Elijah Teague who may have been Elijah 8. 4 Samuel 2 (Elijah 1) b. 1759* Witnessed lease of Joshua 2 1 Apr. 1791* "Saw his father shot by Tories and joined American forces of the Revolution at as early date as they would accept him." This could account for Elijah 1 having left no will. Third Generation 5 William 3 (Joshua 2, Elijah 1) b. 23 Nov. 1761 d. 23 Sept. 1845, Wilson Co.

Teague was distinguished in religious and educational, activities in Ala. and Ga. for nearly two generations. He was known as "Old Man Eloquent." National Cyclopedia of Biography devotes a page to his biography and his picture indicates a commanding figure. He left a lengthy auto-biography of which the following is the first page: Autobiography of Rev. Eldred Burder Teague, D.D. The following memoranda relates to an uneventful and comparatively obscure history, but may be of interest and use to the few friends who may think it worth while to peruse them. Indeed the instruction conveyed by autobiography does not so much depend upon the eminence of the subject as upon the fidelity of the facts. I was born January 20, 1820, in Newberry District, South Carolina. My grandfather. Rev. James Teague, of whom my father, John Williams Teague, was the eldest son, was a Baptist minister. Being in moderate circumstances and required to maintain a family to a great extent by the labor of his own hands, he was unable to afford his sons a liberal education. No means however, were omitted which could be made available in the furtherance of this object; inas¬ much that John was about to enter on a course of reading preparatory to attendance on some medical school, when his father’s death frustrated his plans. Left in these circumstances at the age of seventeen, about one year after he was k2 TEAGUE married to Mary Davis, of whom the subject of these pages, Eldred Burder Teague, was the second birth. My parents commenced life upon a small farm in their native district, on which they remained until the winter of 1821-22. Brought under the influence of the emigrating spirit, excited by the recent acquisition, on the part of the Govern¬ ment, of a large quantity of new and fertile territory in the Southwest, they re¬ moved to the County of Greene, in Alabama. Driven thence by the unhealthfulness of the country, dependent on suddenly cutting down vast pieces of forest in opening the extensive farms of that region, they removed in the fall of the same year to the county of Shelby. This residence, to which will attach much of whatever interest my story may create, was a valley of the Coosa river with the western border of the county known as Coosa Valley; and on Four-mile creek, about five miles from its confluence with Yellow-Leaf within a half mile of the river. The neighbors were chiefly Dutch from that part of Lexington District, South Carolina, called the Dutch Fork between Saluda and Broad rivers, These, with a few familes of English descent, from several states, constituted the society of my childhood and early youth. Their intelligence was of a very humble order and manners plain, and even coarse. The farm lay on the north side of the above named brook. It was bordered on the north by a forest of pines stretching many miles to the north and west, and inhabited by nothing but its native wolves and straying herds of cattle. The brook possessed nothing of poetry except the lonely grandeur of the lofty trees that shaded its banks, but was a small sluggish stream, containing in the dry season of the year scarcely any water. A few miles east flowed the Coosa, one of the most beautiful and picturesque rivers of the South. A few miles below the road from Columbiana to Mardisville, in full view of a millroad that used to pass right along on the bank, was to be seen in the season of foliage, one of the loveliest combina¬ tions of mountain, transparent water and disposition of islands in their emerald green that ever arrested the eye of a landscape painter. Often I reached the summit of a hill when this scene burst upon my sight just as the sun rose above the misty mountains beyond that river, and sparkled upon the swiftly-flowing sur¬ face of the stream, while the solemn and stately pines around me murmured to the morning breeze. The old house, first of logs, was fitted up to appear like a framed one, but without glass, painting or ornament of any kind. Imagine a weather-stained house, cut up into small rooms, filled with the commonest and cleanest of furniture and small children to the number of half a dozen, protected from the Southern sun by a wide-spreading mulberry tree— the whole surrounded by a rail fence, and the picture is complete. I, as being the oldest male child, was at the head of the large family, which ultimately amounted to eleven. My father though now possessed of.several able-bodied slaves, required the same kind and amount of labor of his sons as of them; - none of them being tasked. Once in a while, however, I was agreeably relieved of the schools. These schools were very inferior— one of them tyranically governed, in which I was frequently and severely punished, not on account of idleness or inaptitude, but on account of ray pugnacity and ill behavior. I be¬ came the subject of prejudice and fared worse on that account. An interesting comment on Eldred Burder Teague is that while he was a Baptist Minister throughout his life, as was his grandfather James Teague, there were three generations of slave owners, including both of them. James disposed of fourteen slaves in his will; TEAGUE *+3 the first page of the Autobiography of E. B. refers to "my father John Williams Teague nov possessed of several able-bodied slaves" and same document later refers to slaves owned by Eldred Burder Teague, yet nowhere is there a word either condoning or justifying the practice--it was simply accepted at face value. Sophia Nelson Blount was a daughter of Capt. James G. Blount, a veteran of the War of l8l2 and the Creek and Seminole Indian Wars. Lt. Col. Robert P. Blount was a son of James G. and the oldest brother of Sophia. He was on Longstreets Staff in the Civil War and at one time was in command of the Guinea’s Station near Fredericks¬ burg, Va. A treasured document is an order in the handwriting of Robert E. Lee reading: Headquarters Am. Va. May 4th 1863 Col. Blount Provost Marshal Guineas Depot Col. You must hold Guineas at all hazard ("if you can"-interlined) as troops can come up from Beaver Dam or Junction. I can spare no artillery from this place. The prisoners you can send on to the Junction if you have force enough. Yours Very respectfully, R. E. Lee Genl. James G. Blount, his son Robert and daughter Sophia Nelson (there were other children) were descended from the Blounts of N. C. who were the first settlers in 1638, but the exact lineage has not been established. Eldred Burder Teague m. 1st Sophia Nelson Blount.

The early Swann clan has proved most elusive. It has, in fact, been impossible to develop little history additional to that of family record and tradition. Numerous paid searches have ended against a blank wall. The first settlers of Virginia were named Swann, the site of the first estate even now is called Swann Point on modern maps. It is across the James River west of Jamestown, Va. and was patented by Thomas Swann in 1638. Colonial records of Virginia and North Carolina have hundreds of references to Swann. They were prominent in affairs of both colonies and held many important public offices. One Thomas Swann born Alexandria, Va., 1806 and contemporary with James Harris Swann generation was ^yor of Baltimore, General Manager of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 36th Governor of Maryland 1865-69, and was elected to the U. S. Senate. The 1790 census shows heads of family named Swann as follows: Pennsylvania 5 Maryland 17 Virginia 3 North Carolina 13 The first Swanns in Virginia thus seem to have moved about equally north and south, if these are in fact descendants of the first colonizers. It has, so far, been impossible to connect Thomas Swann 1 with any of these earliest settlers. On the one hand, family tradition and record says that "he was born and reared to man's estate in Dublin, Ireland" and on the other, there is a document by Andrew Jackson Swann 2k in which he mentions that he knew the Thomas Swann who was Governor of Maryland "who is a cousin." The former account seems most likely although both can be correct. The first documentary evidence of Thomas Swann 1 so far recovered, is a deed of l6 Aug. 1765, in which he witnessed a transfer of 315 acres situated in Rowan County, N. C. from Robert Horner and wife of Mb. Pleasant Township, York County, Pa. to Joseph McConnaughey, his father-in-law. The transaction took place in Pennsylvania. 53 SWAM So this places and dates him at 1765 minus, say, 25 or horn ca 17^+0. That was about the middle of the period of massive Scotch-Irish emigration to America (see Shank Genealogy). Thomas Swann 1 is next dated in a deed of 25 Dec. 1770; as acquiring land in Rowan Co., N.C. "on the waters of Sills Creek." Joseph McConnochie (sic) was a witness, thus placing both of them in Rowan Co. by the end of 1770. The early history of Joseph McConnaughey (Thomas’ father-in-law) is as elusive as that of Thomas Swann. No public document identifying him has been found except the deeds mentioned. There was at that time, and still is, a large family of this name in Adams Co. Pa. and there is reason to believe that Joseph may have been related to them. That has not been established. Joseph McConneghey (various spelling) left a will in Rowan Co., N.C. dated 27 June 1785 in which he mentions his wife and children including Catherine Swann. He rendered service in the Revolutionary War, evidenced by document of the State of North Carolina archives and history dated 5 Aug. 1959 and made a part hereof. First Generation 1 Thomas Swann 1, b. ca 17^0, in Dublin, Ireland, came to York Co. Pa., as a young man, migrating shortly afterward to Rowan Co., N. C. Made will 26 Nov. 1795; m. Catherine McConnaughey ca 1765 probably in N. C. She died after l8l4. Thomas 1 is in 1790 census of Rowan Co., N. C., as head of family with 2 males over 16, 4 males under l6 and 7 females. His will lists children that way, thus representing an exact numerical check of the census. Children: 2 Ann 3 William 4 James 5 Martha 6 Matthew 7 Margaret 8 Thomas B. 9 Elizabeth 10 Catherine 11 Isaac 12 Mary The will of Thomas 1 is signed "Thomas Swan"with an undated codicil signed "Thomas Swann."

Art Digest Vol. 13 (1939) says in part: "James Swann born on a Texas ranch and now secretary of the Chicago Society of Etchers is exhibiting 50 of his etchings in the Smithsonian Bldg., Wash. D. C. The majority of the prints are landscapes, portraits of trees, old Spanish Missions and Southwestern street scenes rendered with feeling and an under¬ standing of the art employed . Especially well does Swann draw and etch trees which seem to be well rooted . In his old buildings he discovers in homeliness an element of real beauty"--and much more. He is still prominent and active in art circles.

The data herein, regrettably, was received too late to be included in the serial numbering of other Shanks. In lieu of that, they have been assigned a serial number with lettered subscript so that they can readily be fitted into the John Shank genealogy at any time it may be republished or revised. That which follows is partly duplicating and starts with: Third Generation 18 George Franklin Shank 3 (Henry 2, John 1), b. 20 Dec. 1834, Wilkes Co., Ga. d. 12 Sept. 1904, Smith Co.
