They came to Knox County in 1820, and settled on a farm in Brown Township, remaining there till 1838. They had eleven children, five boys and six girls, of whom two girls and one boy have died. The mother also died in 1846, and the father February 16, 1878. The latter had been Constable for a number of years, was of a jovial disposition, and was well liked throughout his township. William, Jr., lived with his father till of age, 1846, and then sought work about the county, on his own account, till about 1848, when he came to Whitley County, Union Township, and remained here till 1852, then went to Fulton County, Ohio, for one year, thence to Williams County, where he remained till 1861, clearing and farming. In 1850, he there married Miss Mary Jane Smalley, who bore him eight children, but who died October 14, 1874. May 9, 1876, Mr. Tannehill married Miss Annie Sherick, whose parents were natives of Germany. May 10, 1876, he returned to Columbia Township, this county. He redeemed sixty- two acres of land from what was then a wilderness, and put it in good farming order. He was elected County Commissioner in 1878, and re-elected in 1880, and still fills the position to the satisfaction of his constituents. By his present wife he is the father of three sons, all living. He is a thriving farmer, prominent in his township, and, in politics, is a Democrat. (History of Whitley Co., IN; pub. 1882) Excerpt from the biography of his son, Rev. John A.J. Tannehill: Reverend Mr. Tannehill was born in Williams County, Ohio, October 2, 1858, and is a son of William and Mary (Smalley) Tannehill, who were natives of, or reared in the State of Ohio, whence their families moved from Pennsylvania. The grandfather of John A.J. Tannehill, William Tannehill, Sr., was born in Pennsylvania, removed to Ohio, and in his later years came to Whitley County, Indiana, locating in 1861 at the home of his son, William, Jr., with whom he died, his wife having passed away in Ohio. William Tannehill, Jr., was first married to Mary Smalley, and they began housekeeping on a farm in Williams County, where the father was engaged in agricultural pursuits until 1864, in that year enlisting for service in the Union army during the Civil war. He remained with his regiment until the close of hostilities, seeing much active service and making an excellent record for bravery and faithful discharge of duty, and when he received his honorable discharge returned to the occupations of peace. Coming to Whitley County, Indiana, he located on a farm, on which he has continued to reside to the present time. His life has been a long and successful one, and he is still hale and hearty at the age of eighty -eight years, although he is as active as a man twenty years his junior. A democrat in his political views, he has been prominent in public affairs, having served for six years as a member of the board of county commissioners, and for some years as a member of the advisory board, holding the latter position until recently. The first Mrs. Tannehill died in 1874 or 1875, leaving six children, and Mr. Tannehill was again married to Mrs. Anna Pearl, nee Sherrick, who had one son, Frank, by her first marriage, who is still living. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Tannehill, of whom five are living and four are married. Of the children of Mr. Tannehill by his first union, there were two sons and three daughters, all now living, except one daughter, and married and with families (A Standard History of Starke County, Indiana, 1915.
