Biographical Sketch of T. J. Tedder, Johnson County, Missouri Grover Township >From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," Kansas City Historical Co. 1881 T.J. TEDDER, farmer and stock raiser. P.O. Sigel. The subject of this imperfect sketch is a native of Roane county, Tenn., born Feb. 18, 1822. He was married in his native county, Dec., 1847, to Miss Mary E. Wilson; she is a native of the same place. From this union there have been five children: John W., George W., William L., Martha, Louisa J. In 1859, he came to Johnson county, where he has since resided. His success in life is evinced from the fact that he began business for himself with very limited capital, but through his continued industry and good management he now has a farm of 150 acres. He was in the home guards during the war, always remaining loyal to his country. His father was in the war of 1812, and died at a good old age in Tennessee. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
