Notes:

An Excerpt from The History of Cooper County by W F Johnson, 1919

William T. Tally, a veteran of the Civil War and a substantial retired farmer of Cooper County was born on a farm in Saline Township, Oct. 14 1839 son of Henderson and Mary Ann (Taylor) Tally, the former a native of Tennessee, born Jan 6, 1811 and the latter of Kentucky born Feb. 10, 1816. They were married in this county Dec 15, 1836 and spent the remainder of their lives here. Henderson Tally died in 1887. He and his wife were the parents of six children: Mrs. Louisa Hopkins, deceased; William T.; Judge James P. Tally, Pilot Grove; Mrs. Mary Woods, deceased; Marion C., deceased and Mrs. Catherine Newlin a widow, Boonville.

William T. Tally received his schooling in the primitive schools of the time and was living at home when the Civil War broke out. In 1862 he enlisted in the Union cause for two years and was attached to Company F, Fifth Regiment, Missouri State Militia. At the end of his two years he re-enlisted and went to the front as a member of Company I, Twelfth Missouri Cavalry, serving with Sherman's army. Nov. 24 1864, in the battle of Franklin, his horse was shot from under him and he was taken prisoner and sent to the Confederate prison at Andersonville GA., where he remained until the close of the war and was mustered out under a general order, April 29, 1865.

During a visit home on furlough in the summer of 1863, Mr. Tally had married and upon his return home, after his long military service, he resumed farming in Saline Township, where he owned a farm of 120 acres. He added to his holding, and from time to time was the owner of several farms in this county. In 1903, Mr. Tally disposed of his farm holdings and moved to Boonville, where he since has made his home at 1026 Fifth Street. Mr Tally is an ardent Republican, but has not been a seeker after office. He is a member of the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic.

August 14 1863, William T Tally was united in marriage to Louisa A. Tate, who was born in Warren County Tenn., Dec 22, 1845, daughter of Jahiel Douglas Tate and Sarah (Price) Tate, the former of whom was born in that county and the latter in Jackson County, ALA., who came with their family to Missouri in 1852 and settled on a farm in Texas County where they spent the remainder of their lives. Douglas Tate and wife were the parents of 11 children of whom Mrs. Tally was the fourth in order of birth. Mr. & Mrs. Tally have six children: William A., Boonville, Alice, wife of A. L. Durnil, Saline township; Joseph D., Boonville; Charles E., of Excelsior Springs; Oscar F., a railway mail clerk of Kansas City and Hattie E., widow of David A Snyder, resides with her parents in Boonville. Mrs. Snyder has three children, two daughters and a son, the latter of whom, Oscar E. Snyder, enlisted in the aviation corps of the National Army January 25 1918, and was assigned to Camp Sevier, NC C., where after a period of training, he was made a first class sergeant and in March 1918 sailed for overseas service and is still (spring of 1919) in France.

William married Louisa Adaline TATE 14 Aug 1863, Cooper Co. MO. Louisa (daughter of Jahiel Douglas TATE and Sarah Price) was born 22 Dec 1845, Warren Co. TN; died 29 Apr 1936, Cooper Co. MO. [Group Sheet]

Alexander lived at Big Moccasin Creek, a spur of Clinch Mountain and on the Holston River, Russell County, VA. He may have been a minor when his father Robert Tate signed his will on July 29, 1796 (executed February 3, 1807), Russell County, VA. He married Delilah Henderson, a Canadian girl. Alexander remained in Virginia until the settlement of his father's estate in 1816. He purchased 100 acres on August 5, 1817, in Warren County, TN. This was witnessed by John and Robert Tate. He and his brother John settled on Dry Creek on the line of Warren and what became Van Buren County, TN out of McMinnville, TN. He died there intestate in 1847. His administrator was Douglas Tate*. ) (Inv. date torn out.)

In 1820 they were living in Warren County, TN with three sons under 10, a daughter, under 10. In 1830 two boys, one 15-20, the other 10-15, the daughter 15-20. Apparently one son died before 1830.
