Notes for CHARLES HENRY NUHALT:
The name is almost certainly linked to the
river Tees, which forms the boundary
between the counties of Durham and
Yorkshire. The river begins in the Northern
Pennines, on the slopes of Cross Fell, near
the Cumbrian border. After flowing east for
eight kilometers it turns south east as far as
Barnard Castle before winding south of
Darlington and then out to sea just north of
Middlesborough. The area between Cross
Fell and Middleton-in Teesdale is known as
Upper Teesdale. It seems probable that
several families took the name Teesdale (or
one of the variants) at around the same time
in the 16th century. There are early records
of a Geoffrey de Tesdale at York in 1309,
Alan de Tesdale at Marsfield in 1325,
Walter de Tesdale at Jedburgh in 1298 and
John Tesdall at Westminster in 1379. A high
proportion of early surnames were derived
from the place where the family had its main
residence. It was common practice in the
12th and 13th centuries for the senior line of
a land-owning family to adopt a hereditary
surname of this type, while junior branches
gradually acquired different surnames or
variations. More research is needed before
we can be confident about the early
families. River names in this area seem to be
the oldest of place-names relating to the
first Celtic settlers (long before the invasion
of Angles, Saxons and Scandinavians). The
river Tees was called "Tesa" in the
Knytlinge Saga, a history of the Danish
kings of the 10th and 11th centuries and
later records have the name as Teisa and
Taise. Place names in England are
predominantly Anglo-Saxon or Norman in
character with the exception of some natural
features such as rivers, prominent hills and
forests which require immediate
identification in terms equally intelligent to
natives and newcomers alike. If we throw a
bit of speculation into the pot of
imagination, the very early names in the IGI
such as Tesdell, Tisdel, Tysdale or Tisdill
could be the derivatives of theearly
names for the river Tees. The name could
have evolved with the river.

It is believed that Marie and her husband Charles Henry Nuhalt emigrated to the northern British colonies ( United States ).During these times the French and English would raid each others territories.Marie and her son, Charles Samuel, were taken prisoner by the French and Huron Indians, and were then brought back to Quebec.In order for them to be freed from slavery, she renounced her Protestant faith and converted to Catholicism.In turn, she was granted French citizenship and freedom.It is believed that it was at this time that she and her son took on her maiden name of Tisdelle.
