John C. Tice, a pioneer of Ogle County of 1838, and who is now deceased, was born in Washington County, Md., in 1790. He was early made an orphan by the death of his parents, and in consequence had little opportunity to acquire any knowledge of his ancestors. He was reared on a farm and brought up to a practical knowledge of farming. He married Maria McLean, who was a native of the same county as himself, and who was born in 1790. Soon after their union in marriage the husband commenced farming operations on his own behalf. In 1831 he removed his family from Maryland to Greene Co., Ohio, where they remained until the fall of 1838, when he took up a permanent residence in this township and county. [Ogle County, Illinois] He entered 400 acres of land in the townships of Pine Creek and Oregon, and moved into a log house which had been built on section 12, in the township first named. He resided on that tract of land until his death, which transpired Nov. 4, 1874. The mother died October 26, 1870, at Tama City, Iowa, while there on a visit to her daughter.
Following are the names and other particulars of the eight children
of John C. Tice and his wife:
--Nelson, the oldest, died while crossing the plains to California, in
1851; [a problem here, since Nelson m. Elizabeth Winders on 8 Mar 1852, according to Ogle County marriage records]
--Otho is represented on another page;
--Elizabeth is the wife of David Fager, of Douglas Co., Kansas;
--Eliza married James Krouch, of Wayne Co., Iowa;
--Hattie M. is the wife of Hiram Winders, of Tama City, Iowa;
--John H. is a resident of Pine Creek Township, and a sketch is given of
him on another page;
--Samuel C. lives at Oregon;
--Margaret L. is married to John R. Perrine, of Oregon.
The parents were members of the United Brethern Church, and were
prominent in connection with the work of progress in religious matters.
Mr. Tice was a Republican and trained his sons in that element, and was active in the local official affairs of the township in which he lived.
He was a penisoner of the War of 1812, in which contest he held the
position of drill-sergeant. When he came to Ogle County the nearest
market was Chicago. While a resident of Ohio he was engaged in the
business of a distiller, and was fairly familiar with the earlier life
of three states. [Maryland, Ohio, Illinois]
