10 Children!


So on my mother’s side of the tree, it will take a few lifetimes to finish off the research because they bred like rabbits! 15 kids, had 15 kids who had 15 kids - no joke.

But that phenomenon isn't so common in the Vincent line - Emeretta Smith had 13 children and in this story we have 10 but it was between 2 women.

Harry Milton Teall, the son of Charles G Teall & Mary Alexander was born in Ypsilanit, MI. His WWII registration shows that he was 6’2, 160lbs, with black hair & brown eyes. 

A boat builder by trade, he married twice - Ellen Mannor & Viola Ganger – both with Vincent connections!
 The connection between the 2 women is the connection back to Hezekiah Rogers Jr & Hannah Vincent via the children of Joel P Smith & Esther L Haviland. Ellen’s mother was Adella Luella Smith while Viola’s mother Bertha, was Adella’s niece, the daughter of Ada Mae Smith.
He first married Ellen Mary Mannor, the daughter of Frank R Manner & Ada Leuella Smith. Ellen was married not once, not twice, but according to records found, six times! She had 3 children with Harry.

Harry’s second wife was Viola Ilene Ganger, the daughter of Dewey  Ganger & Bertha Andrews. Together they had 7 children.
