The Tarkenton family
were among the pioneer settlers of Tennessee. John P. Tarkenton, who was born in that state in 1840, moved to Pope County, Arkansas, and in 1895 established his home at Comanche, in Old Indian Territory. Early in his life he was conscripted for service in the Confederate Army, though he was opposed to secession. His active career was spent as a farmer and stock raiser, and in 1903 he retired from business and is now living at Ada, Oklahoma. He is a member of the Free Will Baptist Church. His wife was born in Tennessee in 1847 and died near Ada at Maxwell in 1905. Their six children are given brief mention as follows : William T., who is a farmer and an oil well and deep water well contractor and lives at Ada ; May, whose husband is a contractor and builder in New Mexico ; Luther W. ; Emma, who is unmarried and living in New Mexico ; John P., who died at Ada at the age of twenty-two ; Elsie, wife of L.
