of Laurens District, South Carolina, and of his wife, Rachel SMITH, 1719-1791.

The Will of William McTEER enumerates by given name four (4) children, named 
in birth order, including first, Margaret [Margrit] McTEER, second, Elizabeth 
McTEER, and third, Frances McTEER, and son, William A. McTEER; a grandson, 
Nathaniel McTEER, son of William McTEER; 'miner children' [minor children not 
enumerated by given name]; 'oter two daughters' [other two daughters -- 
possibly Alice MCTEER, 1769-1828 and Mary Dunbar McTEER, 1769-1846]; and 
daughter, Jeane McTEER [1770-1831]; and names '...Nathanal VANCE and Charles
