Father?

A Joseph Teal has an entry in Gaston's "Portland, Oregon, its History and Builders" -- but this one was born in Germany in 1819 and came to Oregon in 1853. He was one of the principal supporters of the Willamette Locks, so also a waterways guy. Perhaps J.N. Teal's father? See here. -Pete (talk) 01:38, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
