From Lee Hanson: William and Mary Metcalfe met and were married in Lexintong, KY on 24 Jul 1792. Sometime after their eldest children were born the young cuple moved to Christian County following in the footsteps of William's father, Vandever Swearingen Teague. The region in the northern part of the county had an abundance of fresh water, wild game, and timber for building and firewood. However, poor road conditions caused a concentration of farms along rivers and creeks. Drakes Creek and Pond River are common waterways named in the region and became the water :"highways" of the time.
The Teagues were well established in Christian Co. by 1804 when they are shown in the tax lists as living on Drakes Creek; in 1806 and 1807 they are shown paying taxes on 600 acres on Pond River. Then the tax records show their acreage on Drakes Creek in 1808. In the 1811 tax recrods, they are shown with acreage on Dollison Creek and on a farm on Clifty Creek. It's quite possible that the family wasn't moving around as tax records might indicate, but merely changed the reference to the watercourses that ran through or near their land holdings.
A large triangular region (including the town of White Plains) used to be a part of Christian County in the later 1700's and early 1800's. However, after 1820, the section became a part of Hopkins County. Drakes Creek forms a part of the county line separating presend-day Hopkins and Christian Counties while Pond River flows through both counties and forms the boundary between Muhlenberg and its neighboring counties, Hopkins and Christian.
