TEPPLE WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP AND MARTINSVILLE, MORGAN COUNTY, INDIANA PAGE 181 MARION CUNNINGHAM, one of the most energetic and successful young farmers in Morgan County, was born in Jefferson Township August 3, 1850. His parents were William N. and Nancy (Lankford) Cunningham, natives of Kentucky and Virginia respectively, who were married in Morgan County in an early day, and were well known among the earliest and most prominent settlers. Our subject was the second son in a family of four children, and was reared in Morgan County, obtaining in the district schools the rudiments of a good education. On the 22d day of September, 1870, he was married to Miss Nancy Teverbaugh, daughter of William Teverbaugh, an influential and respected citizen of Martin County, Ind. For about one year after his marriage, he farmed in Morgan County, going thence to Daviess County, Ind., where he farmed for two years, at the end of which time he returned to Morgan County, and continued farming until early in 1881, when his father gave him the splendid, well-improved farm of 297 acres, one mile south of Martinsville, where he at present resides. In connection with his farming interests, he is also extensively engaged in the stock business and his energy and industry rank him among the successful farmers of the county. ------------------------------ End of ky-footsteps V1 #194 *************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genelaogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
