I found this statement concerning Tackley of Nebraska:
Does anyone have the list of children of Peter and Mary Tackley. I have a Harvey E. Tackley m. Irene Kinsley. They had a daughter in Nebraska. The same pattern of movement seems identical to the John below. I am curious if they are brothers.

CHICAGO:
ALDEN PUBLISHING COMPANY,
1912
John P. Tackley, a prominent citizen of Custer county, Nebraska, was among the earlier settlers of the state and has passed through various periods or the history of the development of the country from a region of wild prairies to farms villages and cities. He was born in Syracuse, New York, October 7, 1845, fourth of the ten children of Peter and Mary Tackley, both natives of France, but married in America. Both parents died in New York, the father about 1890 and the mother in 1909. They were farmers and their children were reared to farm life and educated in the local schools. Besides John P. Tackley, there are three sons and a daughter in California, one daughter in Chicago, and two sons and two daughters in New York.
After leaving school Mr. Tackley learned the trade of cooper, which he followed in his native land and later in Toledo, Ohio, where he located in 1881. He was married in New York, July 26, 1869, to Ellen Delong, a native of that state. In 1883 they removed from Ohio to Custer county, Nebraska, securing a homestead near Anselmo and a timber claim of one hundred and sixty acres. They also pre-empted eighty acres of land. In 1895 they sold their farming interests in Custer county, receiving but thirty-five dollars for the timber claim, and returned to Toledo, remaining there about a year and a half. In the spring of 1897 Mr. Tackley again decided to locate in Custer county and for nine years conducted a store at Gates. In 1907, they came to their present home, at Lillian postoffice, where they have established a general store and enjoy a good custom. Mr. Tackley has established himself in the good opinion of his neighbors and is a man of business foresight and enterprise. He and his wife are wellknown in many circles and enjoy the esteem of a large number of friends.
Two children blessed the union of Mr. Tackley and wife: Georgia, wife of William Newcomb, of Custer county, has ten children, and Flora, who married Morton Russell, also of Custer county, and has eight children. Mrs. Tackley's father, Lorenzo Delong, and his wife, Nancy (Fargo) Delong, were natives of New York, where their entire lives were spent. Mr. Delong died in 1875 and his wife in 1881. Mrs. Tackley has a brother and two sisters living in New York. She is now serving as postmistress at Lillian, having been appointed to this office in 1907.
