JOHN W. PINNICK, a citizen of Jackson Township, Orange County, was born in
Warrick County, Ind., February 24, 1829. He is the third of nine children
born to Elijah and Lucinda (King) Pinnick. The parents were both natives of
Kentucky, were married in Warrick County, and located in Orange County in
1834, and where they both died. Having received but a common school
education he began doing for himself at the age of seventeen, and his life
has been mostly spent in agricultural pursuits. On February 26, 1850, he was
united in matrimony to Miss Harriet A., daughter of Septimus and Lucy
(Smith) Tomlinson. The result of this union is a family of eleven children,
whose names are: Sarah E. (Johnson), Martha A. (Harmon), Charles H., Leroy
A., William H., John T., Grant, Sherman S., Sheridan S., Raymond T., and
Porter A. Mr. Pinnick enlisted in Company G, Forty-ninth Regiment, Indiana
Volunteer Infantry, on November 8, 1861, and served his country as a soldier
three years, and was discharged at Indianapolis, November 29, 1864, by
reason of the expiration of his term of enlistment. He was elected Township
Trustee in 1878, and served in that capacity for two years, during that time
having built four schoolhouses.  Politically he is a Republican. He and wife
are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and are highly respected by
their neighbors.
