Hi Pat,
I believe you will find your Teels living in Tazewell County Virginia in 1850, and I further believe you will find that Phillip Teel may have possibly been a grandfather to your Samuel instead of his father.
1850 Tazewell County Virginia census information
Pg - Dw # - Fam # - name - information
243-384-384 - Teel Adam - 21 - Farmer - Virginia
Note: Adam is living in the household of Zack Witton
240-351-351 - Teel, Peter - 37 - Farmer - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, Rebecca - 37 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, William - 10 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, Martha E. - 09 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, James - 07 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, Henry C. - 06 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, Charles T. - 05 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, Lucy J. - 03 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, Zacaria T. - 01 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, PHILLIP - 88 - Virginia
240-351-351 - Teel, LUCY J. - 85 - Virginia
244-303-303 - Teel, William - 27 - Virginia
244-303-303 - Teel, Virgle - 27 - Virginia
244-303-303 - Teel, Thomas A. - 02 - Virginia
244-303-303 - Teel, Adam W. - 4/12 - Virginia
244-303-303 - Edens, Catherine - 08 - Virginia
Then a few pages over is your Samuel and his family as follows:
267-713-713 - Teel, Samuel - 38 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, Betty - 34 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, William - 14 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, John - 07 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, Jacob - 06 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, Louisa J. - 04 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, Adam - 03 - Virginia
267-713-713 - Teel, Phil - 02 - Virginia
If you look at the age of Lucy J. Teel (85) in 1850, she would have been well over the age of 40 years old at the birth of Samuel, Peter, William, and especially Adam, who is listed as 21 in 1850. It wasn't unheard of to have a child at that age back then, but it was highly unusual.
I hope this helps.
