Dr. J. Terhune.  Among the early settlers of Greene county, Ind., was David Terhune, 
who was born March 24,1818, in Fleming County, Ky., where he was reared to manhood.  
In 1844, he came to this county, whither his parents had preceded him the year before, 
and located in Wright Township where he purchased forty acres of land of Milton Moss, 
erected a cabin and the next year married Sallie Neals.  This lady was also a native 
of Kentucky, born in 1820.  Her parents removed to Illinois at an early day, where 
they both died in 1832, of cholera, leaving her to be reared by an uncle.  Mr. Terhune 
began life in Greene County, a comparatively poor man, but from the beginning he was 
remarkably successful in the acquistion of the world's goods.  He at one time owned 
about 400 acres of choice land, besides having given each of his children a start of
$1,300.  He was an honored and esteemed citizen, and died March 3,1880, preceded by 
his wife in 1868, and both are buried in the family buring ground on Nine Mile 
Prairie.  Their children are Dr. J.;  Thomas J., Judge of the Nineteenth Judicial 
District of Indiana;  Mary J., deceased;  Nancy A., deceased;  James, a resident of 
Smith Township;  Margaret, deceased; W. D., a resident of Kansas;  and J. B., a 
resident of Indiana.  Dr. J. Terhune was born in Greene County, Ind., in 1846;  was 
educated at Newberry and Asbury Universities, and for twelve years was a public school 
teacher.  He owns two good farms in Stockton Township, and is largely interested in
stock-raising.  His marriage with Miss Maggie A., daughter of Isaac and Pattie 
(Harbutt) Mull, of Kentucky, was solemnized in 1871.
