1674, April - Teague Drisko of Exeter - conveyed to 'Philip Cartey of Exiter' by deed dated December 23, 1674 'ten acres of upland granted by Exiter, bounded by land formerly Jeremiah Conaw's ye most way and land ye town gave to Cornelius Lare,' and is so recorded in Norfolk County records. (Essex Antiquarian, Vol. XII, p.182. Submitted by Jean Prendergast.)
Late 1600's - early 1700's DRISCO, Teague. Teague Drisco had three sons, Lawrence, John and Cornelius. Lawrence removed to Boston, and as Lawrence Driscow he was on the Boston tax list of the year 1691. Tax Lists, in Boston Town Books, Vol. 1.40 John Drisco served in an Exeter military company in the year 1700, and Cornelius was one of a number of petitioners of the town of Dover, NH, in 1715, praying for the settlement of a minister. Cornelius was recorded both as Drisco and Driscol, and in 1725 he lived at Francestown, N.H., in a district known as Driscoll Hill. James and Jeremiah Driscol, sons of Cornelius, seem to have adhered to the original form of the name; at least they once so signed, in a petition to the Legislature in 1749 with other residents of Rochester, N.H. Daniel Driskell, son of Cornelius, had seven children born at Isles of Shoals between 1737 and 1752; a James Driscoll, said to have been a great-grandson of Teague, lived at Portsmouth in 1775; in Point of Groves cemetery at Portsmouth there is a stone thus recording the death of another of his descendants: Captain John Drisco, died March 8, 1812, aged 82; and a Mrs. Drisco, aged 86, died at Portsmouth on April 26, 1805. Teague's son, Timothy, born at Milton October 18, 1666, was a man of local prominence and the father of ten children. (PINE, Chapter VI, p. 96, 99. Contributed by Gale Bramlett.)
