This refers to the song "Lucille" made famous by Kenny Rogers in 1977, when you needed to by a console from Sears and hook it up to the UHF screws on the back of your TV in order to play the ultimate video game of the time, Pong. (Yes, TVs used to have screws on the back.)
In the song, Lucille's husband says, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field." Although, we preferred to sing it as "with four hundred children and a crotch that won't heal".

The camp where Corporal Teegan is found can be a bit tricky to find if you are coming from Forward Command. Basically, it is about half way between The Great Divide and the "r" in Forward Command on the world map. My suggestion is to walk along the ridge of The Great Divide and look south when you are above the "r". You should be able to see the camp from there.
Note that you must have completed quests Make 'em Squeal and A Failure to Communicate before this one becomes available.

I came here for the reference too,
Not everyone here comes for directions when you have an in-game quest helper which shows you the exact spot.

What to do
Description
According to Gaines, "Three-Tooth" is what the quilboar call their matriarch. She's been twisting the thorns of this crazy jungle to her own ends, and it was her orders that Gaines be "torn apart and fed to the overgrowth." Nice lady. Let's give her a taste of her own. Take the Bramblestaff you recovered, and use it on Three-Tooth to take her out of the picture. Then kill the crones she's been training, to ensure nobody else can take her place.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Failure to Communicate
I told him he was a fool, but Ambassador Gaines insisted he could negotiate an alliance with the quilboar against the Horde. Even if he succeeded, I for one wouldn't want to fight with those ... pig-men at my side.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trouble From the Ground Up
Teegan's a fool to think the quilboar caused this sudden overgrowth. Look around you. I've been watching these plants bloom and sprout daily - each generation is more mutated than the last. This isn't tribal magic - it's something primal. And dangerous.
