Pictorial and Biographical Memoirs of Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties, Indiana, Chicago, Goodspeed Bros., 1893:
My great-great grandmother Tena (Smith) Whitehead was born in Union Township, Elkhart County, IN, presumably on her father's quarter-section farm. Her parents, John and Catherine (Snyder) Smith emmigrated to Elkhart County from Canada in about 1840, along with Tena's oldest sibling, Susan, who was 3 years-old at the time. Tena was the third born of eight children of John and Catherine Smith, who were Susan, Sarah, Tena, Caroline, Simeon, Jacob, John, Jr. and Samuel.
On Sun., Apr. 7, 1861, a fateful week, Tena married Valentine F. Whitehead. On Friday, the 12th, at 4:30 a.m., Confederate batteries opened fire on Fort Sumter. The barrage continued for the next 34 hours, marking the beginning of the Civil War.
Valentine taught school in Syracuse, IN in 1861 and then committed himself to farming. The Whiteheads purchased 80 acres from the Ott family in Benton Township. Tena's youngest brother, Samuel, purchased an adjoining 80 acres. Samuel later sold his land to Valentine and Tena. These 160 acres now make up the Whitehead Centennial Farm, which has been worked by 6 generations of Whiteheads thus far.
