DANIEL P.
TEETER, a prosperous agriculturist of Wabash
Township, residing on section 1, was born in Bedford County,
Pennsylvania, June 2, 1819, a son of Abraham and Hannah
(Paul) Teeter, who were also natives of Pennsylvania,
born respectively in Lancaster and Chester counties.
The Teeter family are of German descent, the name
being originally Deitrick, afterward changed to
Deeter, and subsequently to Teeter. The
parents of our subject emigrated to Bedford County,
Pennsylvania, in an early day, being among the first
settlers of that county, where the father lived till his
death, Mar. 10, 1837, at the age of sixty-five years.
In 1839 the mother removed to Randolph County, Indiana,
where she spent the remainder of her life. The father
was a tanner by trade, but in later life engaged in farming.
His family consisted of twelve children, six sons and six
daughters. Daniel P. Teeter, the subject of
this sketch, grew to manhood on the home farm, receiving but
a limited education in the schools of that early day.
Being the eldest son at home after his father's death, the
care of the family devolved mainly on him, he remaining at
home till Oct. 9, 1846, when he was married to Miss Mary
Strait, who was born in Perry County, Ohio, Sept. 14,
1827, a daughter of Jacob and Lettia (Bailey) Strait,
the father born in Perry County, Ohio, and the mother in
Bedford County, Pennsylvania. They removed to Darke
County, Ohio, when Mrs. Teeter was a child, being one
of the first families to settle there. The father died
in 1877, aged about seventy-seven years, the mother
surviving until July 11, 1885, when she died at the advanced
age of eighty-one years. They were the parents of
twelve children, three sons and nine daughters.
Twelve children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Teeter,
of whom only seven are living - Calvin, Susie E., Isaac
N., John F., Hannah L., David M. and Samuel L.
After his marriage Mr. Teeter engaged in farming in
Darke County, Ohio, where he remained till April, 1870, when
he removed to the farm in Adams County, where he still
resides, which had been purchased by him prior to his
settlement there. He has met with good success in his
farming operations, and is now the owner of 275 acres of
choice land, all in one body, but located in Wabash and
Monroe townships. In his political views Mr. Teeter
was originally a Whig, but now affiliates with the
Republican party.
