SAMUEL R. TEGARDEN, a native of the county where he yet resides (Northeast
Township, Orange County, Indiana), was born September 2, 1837.  John
Tegarden, his father, was born in Shelby County, Ky., July 31, 1798, and
was a son of Basil and Annie (Todd) Tegarden, who removed with him to
Orange County, Ind., in 1816.  He here met and married Lucinda Irvine, and
aftr working long enough to get a start at the cooper's trade he removed
into a cabin and was living happily when the blow came that deprived him
of his wife.  In 1845 he married Sophia Kearby, and his life was passed
engaged in agricultural pursuits.  At his death, October 29, 1865, he left
an estate valued at $46,000.  Samuel R., like his father, has made farming
his general occupation through life.  When treason was threatening to
overthrow the Union, he was among the first to enlist under the stars and
stripes for its preservation.  He became a member of Company A, Second
Kentucky Regiment, which only being recruited for three months, was
discharged at the end of that time.  He re-enlisted in the same company
and regiment and served thirty-eight months, participating in seventeen
battles, among them being Barbarville, Shiloh, Inka, Corinth, Perryville,
Stone River, Chickamauga and Mission Ridge.  After serving out his time he
returned to his native county and was appointed a private by Gov. Morton,
to look after the Knights of the Golden Circle in southern Indiana. 
September 11, 1866 he married Lydia, daughter of Hiram and Harriet (McCoy)
Warren, who was born in Orange County, January 23, 1847.  Their children
are: William L., born November 11, 1867; James A., August 31, 1873; Ora
D., May 21, 1877; Jessie A., December 8, 1879, and Josie M., September 16,
1882.  Mr. Tegarden is a member of the County Agricultural Society, of the
G. A. R., and as a Republican was a delegate to the State Convention of
1884.
