History of Columbiana County, Ohio, published 1879 names this settlement in its chapter on Salem Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

William Teegarden* was a brother-in-law of Levi Blacklidge, they having married sisters. He came to Salem township in the summer of 1804, entered section 31, and built a log house where James Palmer now resides. The section was entered with the understanding that it should be divided between William Teegarden, Uriah White, and Robert. Blacklidge. Uriah White had the west third, 207 acres; William Teegarden, the middle, 222 acres; and Robert Blacklidge, the east third, 214 acres.

William Teegarden, with his wife, son Uriah, daughter Elizabeth, and the mother of Mrs. Teegarden, came to this township by the road from New Lisbon, in April, 1805, and arrived about sunset on the southeast bank of the creek, opposite the cabin of Levi Blacklidge. Mr. Teegarden hailed across the creek to Levi, and was directed to ford the stream about twenty rods farther down, near a large oak-tree, and keep on the upper side of the fording-place to avoid a large rock in the channel. The crossing was quickly made, when there ensued a joyful meeting of the sisters, and of mother and daughter. They remained that night in Levi's humble log cabin, and the next morning continued the journey to their own little home. Uriah's first job was to ungear the team. This done, he was sent out with his sister, Elizabeth, to gather leaves with which to fill the beds.

In 1850, William Teegarden sold the farm to James Farmer, who now owns and occupies it. Uriah White retained his farm until his death, when it passed to his sons, James and Thomas. Robert Blacklidge leased his farm, in 1806, to Garrett Hast, who lived there about fifteen years, when the place was sold to John Howenstein, who sold it to George Farmer.
