History
of Oakland county, Michigan -- 1817-1877
Jefferson K.
Tindall was born in Sussex county, New Jersey, Nov 25, 1829, and
when nearly four years of age was brought, in company with four other
children, to Michigan by his father, Joseph Tindall, who located, in
the spring of 1833, in Independence township, Oakland co. The trip from
New Jersey was made entirely overland, the family coming through with a
team, and crossing the States of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
About 1838, they moved into Oxford township,
where Joseph Tindall died in 1856, aged fifty-three years. Mrs. Tindall
is yet living, at the age of seventy. After the settlement in Michigan
five children were born, and of the entire number (ten) eight are now
living, all but one in Michigan. The youngest son, M. Luther Tindall,
resides in California.
Jefferson K. Tindall arrived at man's estate
while living in Oxford township, and in the fall of 1856 engaged in the
mercantile business at Holly village with W.B. Arms, under the firm
name of "Arms and Tindall". Previous to this he had been three years in
a store kept by Mr. Arms at the White Lake settlement.
November 19, 1857, Mr. Tindall was married to
Mary J. Day, daughter of Eli H. Day, now of Davisburgh. He continued
his residence at Holly until 1861, when he returned to Oxford village
and engaged also in the mercantile business. In the spring of 1862,
having fears lest the high prices which then prevailed should go down
so suddenly as to seriously affect his finances., he sold his stock at
Oxford and purchased the farm on section 5, in Springfieldtownship, to
which he soon after removed, and where he has since resided. As time
developed he was in no danger from an anticipated financial crash, and
his successor prospered.
Mr. and Mrs. Tindall are the parents of four
children:
1. Ward Day Tindall, b 20 Apr 1859; d 06 July 1860;
2. Grace Tindall, b 20 June 1861;
3. Mary Tindall, b 07 Dec 1864;
4. Jay K. Tindall, b 27 Feb 1869;
Politically, Mr. Tindall is a Republican, and
very popular among his fellow citizens. For seven years he held the
office of supervisor of Springfield township, being elected the first
time in 1866, and the last time in 1873. In 1864 he was a
candidate for county treasurer, and was only defeated by the
rejection of the soldier's vote, with which he would have been elected
by several hundred majority. Mr. Tindall enlisted in the Union Army,
and saerved with distinction during the great civil war of 1861-1865,
which threatened to "disolve the Union", but so signally failed.
In his religious views, Mr. Tindall takes an
independant stand, and instead of acquiescing in the general orthodox
opinions of Christianity, is exceedingly liberal.
Mrs. Tindalls father, Eli H. Day, is one of
the pioneers of Springfield, having settled in 1838. For more
particular notice of him, see the history of Springfield township.
Mr. Tindall's ancestry were from the lowlands
along the river Tyne, in England, and the name as originally bestowed
was derived from the locality in which they lived -- "Tyne Dale" -- by
general usage brought down to Tyndale, Tyndall, and finally Tindall,
the latter being the present spelling.
