WILLIAM W. PINNICK, a native of this county, was born February 6, 1837,
being the fourth of ten children of John and Jane (Farris) Pinnick. John
Pinnick was a native of North Carolina, and his wife of Kentucky, both of
Germanic descent with slight admixtures from other nationalities. Their
marriage took place in this State, whereupon they moved to Kentucky, but in
about five years returned and settled in this county. William W. passed his
youth on a farm, receiving slight education, owing to failing eyesight. In
November, 1861, he volunteered in Company G, Forty-ninth Regiment Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, and served for three years, receiving his discharge at
New Orleans, November, 1864. He was in the following engagements among
others: Middle Bell, Log Mountain, Arkansas Post, etc. February 1, 1866, he
married Susan E. Pierce, who has borne him six children:  Rufus E.,
Marietta, Oscar F., C.J., Ida G., and T.M., all of whom are at home with
their parents.  Mr. Pinnick is a farmer with over 250 acres of land and good
buildings and is a Democrat.  His grandfather Pinnick was a Revolutionary
soldier, and two of his brothers were in the Union army during the last war,
one gallantly laying down his life for his country at Collierville.
