Biographical Note
John Cranville Tackaberry (1799-1852), a native of Ireland, emigrated to Canada in 1817. While living in Quebec, he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1819 he was licensed as an exhorter, and in 1821 he was licensed as a local preacher. During those years, he assisted the presiding elder of the Canada Conference.
In 1827, he was admitted on trial in the Pittsburgh Conference. The next year he was ordained by Bishop Robert Roberts, and in 1829 he was transferred to the New York Conference, where he served several appointments, including Catskill, Brooklyn, and Stratford.
In 1837, Tackaberry was assigned to the Montgomery circuit, in New York, and then for two years he was Pastor in the Harlem Mission. After an appointment to Stamford, Connecticut, his health failed and he was forced to take the superannuated relationship in the New York Conference. Tackaberry died in New York City on May 9, 1852, leaving a wife and six young children
