There's at least one thing wrong with the info at this site. Teller was
definitely a slave of Sebird Smith Rhea until just before the Civil War
and perhaps she did marry Clem Johnson during or after the War but more
probably after the death of Sebird and his wife, Nancy, Rhea. She was
NOT, though, a child of Sebird and Nancy Rhea. I have seen this before
but it's not correct. Sebird and Nancy also had 2 other slaves whom they
freed just before the Civil War, 2 boys, probably teenage or early
twenties. They both left after being freed but Teller stayed (with
salary) until they died.
