    Daniel Davis was one among the first settlers at the head of Sand creek; he was a blacksmith, although not an expert in his trade. He could mend a chain or clevis, and at that time was considered a very useful citizen. He sometimes preached to the early settlers.

    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.
