Son of Joshua and Rhoda Pickard Tune, William's middle name is believed to be Pickard. He married Elizabeth Ann Beckum, daughter of Alexander and Phoebe Bailey Beckum of Tennessee, circa 1855 most likely in the Maury County area.
William and Elizabeth had the following children: Abe Looney Tune; Rhoda Malinda J. Tune; Sarah Ellen Tune Gibson; Henry G. Tune who married Mary Ann Etta Spencer; Elizabeth J. Tune Ogan and Willie N. Tune Rogers.
William served as a private in the CSA with Regiment Name 3 (Clack's) Tennessee Infantry, Company D.
Y-DNA testing done in June 2017 has now shown a match with a descendant of the Toone family from Belton, Leicestershire County, England & a 2nd g. grandson of William Tune & wife Elizabeth Beckum Tune.

"Held Him Guiltless"
"Last week we neglected to chronicle the death of Wm. Tune, which occurred several weeks ago at Mt. Pleasant. It will be recollected that his wounded arm was amputated, but the amputation was postponed too long by Tune, and mortification setting in, nothing could save him. Just before he died he sent for Capt. Barnes, and told him he did not blame him for shooting him, and hoped that he would not be prosecuted for it."

THE SOLDIERS GRAVE
BY PEARL RIVERS
Tread lightly, 'tis a soldiers grave,
A lonely, mossy mound;
And yet to hearts like mine and thine
It should be holy ground.
Speak softly, let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest.
For him no reveille will beat
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no tattoo rolls
Its thunders from the drum.
Tread lightly! for a man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
His ashes to his native land,
His gallant soul to God.
It is unknown where William is buried, but assumed in the Mt.Pleasant area of Maury County, Tennessee.
May you rest in peace g.g.grandfather. Love, Gloria
