J.V. Rannells was born in Brookfield Township, on the old homestead, March 2,
1815, and is therefore among the oldest residents of the township. At the age
of twenty-six he married Miss Laura Bay, who died in 1845. One child was born
of this marriage. In 1846 he married Miss Rachel Falls. Four children were
born of this union, two now living. Mr. and Mrs. Rannells are members of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. John Rannells, son of the above, enlisted in
