"My Father, Charles McAnally, was the third son of David and Martha Pannell and was born in Amherst County, Virginia on the 11th of November 1775: accompanied his father to Tennessee in 1791.
In 1798 he married a Miss Polly Shelton Dec 25.
In March 1800 he removed to the waters of Indian Creek where he has remained ever since.
In May 1807 his wife died leaving three small daughters.
In 1809 he married Elizabeth Moore, daughter of Rev. Rice and Elizabeth Moors.
By this marriage he had five children, four sons and one daughter.
He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in June 1803. In the latter part of 1809, he was licensed to exhort in the church. In 1811 he was licensed as a local preacher.
In 1818 he was ordained Deacon by Bishop McKendree.
In 1822 he was ordained Elder by Bishop George.
Besides his ministerial labors he has for a number of years served his fellow men in several capacities, for twelve years successfully he performed the duties of High Sheriff of Grainger County.
For almost twice that number he acted as Justice of the Peace in the same county and hundreds can bear testimony to his attentions as a physician.
He has lived to see most of his children grow up around him and has the satisfaction of remembering that, though poor, they are all of irreproachable moral character. He is now November 8, 1837 living where he formerly has for many years and in the enjoyment of peace and competence.
