WILLIAM F. TULL, one of tin- oldest resi-
dents, and one of those most worthy of
honor in Windsor Township, Shelby
County, resides mi section 20, ami was born in
Bedford County, Tenn., January 9, 1819. His
parents were Daniel anil Sallie (Baw) Tull, both
natives of North Carolina, who married there and
soon after returned to Tennessee, where they re-
mained until 1829. At this time they emigrated
to Illinois, and settled in Shelby County. Our
-iil>ject was the eighth in a family of nine,
and all are deceased except this son and Iris
brother, Nathan P., who resides in the village of
Windsor.

Mr. Tull was hut a lad of eleven years when
his parents located in Shelby County, yet he
has a vivid recollection of the trip across the coun-
try, with a six-horse team, and often recalls the
wild and unimproved condition of the country
and the sparsely peopled section- through which
they traveled. Shelbyville, now a promising
city of live thousand inhabitants, was then a
little trading post, composed of a few log shanties.

In tin- fall of 1838 this young man (then only
nineteen year- old) took to himself a wife in the
person of Miss Hannah Davis, who «;i- also a ua-
tive of East Tennessee, where she was bora Decem-
ber "27. 1821. Her parent-, like his, came to Shelby
( ounty in the early days, and located in Windsor
Township in 1828, and there spent the re-
mainder Of their live-. That young couple
in due time became the parents of :i truh
patriarchal Hock, fifteen children being horn to
them.

The seven children who are still living an- as
follows: Sallie. Mrs. Cane, now fifty-one Mar-



old, and lives in this town-hip; Josiah has been a
cripple since he wa- eighteen months old. and has
always been cared for by hi- parents; Harriet is
unmarried and lives at home: Catherine, now Mrs.
Moobery, lives in this township, as does also
Jonathan, who is married; .lames and Nathan F.
are at home and unmarried, and working on the
old homestead, although they have both reached
mature years.

This beautiful old couple have enjoyed each

other's society in wedded life for over fifty-two
year-, and both give promise of many more years
of health and cheer. They speak in the highest
term- of tin- lilial affection and obedience of their
children, with whom ihe\ have never had an un-
pleasant or discordant word. Mr. Tull has been a
life-long Democrat, and has ever been a recognized
leader in his township. His middle name is For-
rest a- he wa- named for the father of the noted
Confederate General, that general being a play-
mate of Mr. Tull 's. Lor many years this couple
were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
but at the tiuieof the division of that body during
the war. they withdrew and joined the Christian
Union Church.
