William Tunnell, father of the subject of this sketch, was born in France in the first decade of the eighteenth century—it is believed in the year 1703. He was the oldest child of his parents, and the only one born in France. The parents of William Tunnell were stout Calvinists, godly people. Removing to Yorkshire, England, when William was an infant, the family soon became thoroughly Anglicized. The religious faith of the family was pronouncedly, pugnaciously Calvinistic. There are yet “John Calvin” Tunnells. Anne Howard, wife of William Tunnell and mother of John, born in Yorkshire, England, in 1710, was the daughter of a gentleman. The title “Lady Anne” clung to her to the day of her death. William and Anne Tunnell were married in England, but the date of their marriage is not known. They immigrated from Yorkshire, England, to Virginia and settled in Spottsylvania County, two miles below Fredericksburg, about the year 1736, and they resided in that vicinity some years. William Tunnell died, it is believed in Loudoun County, VA., December 28, 1787. Anne Tunnell died at the house of her son, Rev.William Tunnell, near Robertsville, Anderson County, Tenn., February 18, 1814, at the advanced age of one hundred and four years.

A footnote in the book says that Anne and William's son Rev.William Tunnell, was a Baptist preacher. He was born in 1751. William settled near Robertsville Anderson Co., and raised thirteen children. He died August 1814. Their son Stephen was a Methodist, born 1753. Stephen moved to Washington Co., TN in 1789. He had nine sons and one daughter. Their son Robert Tunnell moved to North Carolina.
