   History of Tennessee, 1887

      Judge C. J. ST. JOHN, of the law firm TAYLOR & ST. JOHN, was born
   in Smyth County, Va., December 18, 1836, the son of BERRY and HANNAH
   (DUNGAN) ST. JOHN, the former born in Campbell County, Va., in 1793,
   the son of GEORGE, also a Virginian, who removed to Smyth County. The
   father was a farmer, and died in 1869; and the mother, born in 1800,
   in the latter county, was the daughter of JOHN DUNGAN, and died in 1876.
   Our subject, the ninth of thirteen children, was educated at Liberty
   Academy, in Smyth County, and in 1859 spent a year in reading law at
   Jonesboro. He was admitted to the bar there, and practiced until 1861,
   when he joined Company C, Nineteenth-Tennessee Infantry, and became
   first lieutenant. This was the first Confederate company of this county.
   Since the war, he has been practicing in Blountville. In 1884 he was
   appointed chancellor for the unexpired term of Judge SMITH, of the First
   Chancery Division, serving two years. He was quartermaster-general of
   State militia under Gov. PORTER. April 30, 1861, he married CARRIE, a
   daughter of Dr. DULANEY, deceased, and a sister of Dr. N. T. DULANEY,
   and a cousin of the present governor. She was born in 1839, near
   Blountville.  MARY TAYLOR, the grandmother, was a daughter of Gen.
   NATHANIEL TAYLOR, grandfather of the present governor.
