Tavenner had three siblings, a younger brother, Thomas Alexander (referred to as \"Tat\" in the letters), and two sisters, Elizabeth M. and Jennet A. (who is often referred to as \"Jen\" in the letters). William Tavenner's paternal grandfather was Colonel Thomas Tavenner, one of the early settlers of Wood county and a prominent man in local affairs.

Two of Tavenner's maternal aunts also appear in the collection's correspondence, including Mrs. Mary T. Owen of Galveston, Texas (referred to as \"Poca\" in letters), and Elizabeth Ann Thornhill of New Orleans (referred to as \"Bettie\").","The exact date and circumstances of Tavenner's entry into the military are unknown. He was stationed in New Orleans during the first years of the war, later moving northward to Virginia sometime between the spring of 1862 and January 1863.
