According to "First Settlers in South Carolina, 1670-1700," Teige arrived in South Carolina before 1672 with wife Elizabeth , sons William and George, and daughters Mary and Catherine. He was presumably from County Cork, Ireland, via Barbados. His will is dated September 21, 1678 and the inventory of his estate was file d on May 3 , 1679.
THE CANTEY FAMILY
CHAPTER V.
Somewhere about 1680 the Cantey Family came over from England and settled on Goose Creek, not far from Charleston. The lands in that section were very rich and they engaged in planting. Quite a large Colony settled there, people from different Countries. The Cantey who started the family in America was an English General, retired from the service through a wound received in battle. He had a large family of sons and daughters and came over to this country to give them a better start in the world than they could have in England. He bought up rich lands while they were cheap and also slaves to work the soil. The sons of all became planters and the daughters married men of the same business, all living not far away in the same sections of the country.
They were of an old English Cavalier stock and the young men inherited the military spirit of their Ancestors. If there was any fighting to be done, the Canteys were always on hand so they were all "Captains or Majors" or had some military title. Of course later on there were several of them among "Marion's men" in the swamps of Goose Creek, dashing out unawares among the British troops, killing some and taking many prisoners, then paroling them under promise never to take up arms against the United States. It was in this same section of the country that the Bordeaux family owned a plantation during the Revolutionary War, where "Marion's Men" were often entertained for days at a time and furnished with fresh horses, while their jaded ones were kept and fed and cared for till they were ready for use. An old servant o€ Mr. Bordeaux's often did good service to the "Swamp Fox" and his band, by piloting them to safe places in the swamp when pursued by a large party of English soldiers, two or three times their number. "Old Joe" figures quite conspicuously in some of Gilmore Simm's novels, based on the deeds of those stirring times, as did also his young master, Isaac Bordeaux, though not under his own name; nor in the active manner he would have rejoiced to do; being a cripple, he could not fight for his country. But he did all he could for the comfort of those who were engaged in the war. The Canteys were in all the fighting in that part of the state, whether with the British or the Indians, and also in the war of 1812; and later on in the war with Mexico they were in the Palmetto Regiment that covered itself with glory, going into the war 1800 strong and returning with not over 300 and having every officer killed in many engagements. But I have jumped very far ahead to show the Military ardor of the Cantey family.
