I ran across this tidbit of information in a listing of "Claiborne County
Tennessee History". Thought some of you might be interested since it makes
reference to the Carmacks.
Subject: Andrew W. Campbell, merchant and farmer, born in Hawkins County,
TN, November 26, 1840, son of Joseph and Frankie (Vermillion) Campbell. Died
December 25, 1873....
"...Our subject, the eighth of nine children, was fairly educated, and
in August 1869, married Julia A., a daughter of Cornelius and Sibbie Carmack.
Since marriage, they have lived at their present farm, where in 1880 he
opened a store, and had built a flouring mill and corn mill. He is a
democrat, and he and his wife are Methodists. Their sons are Leonida M., and
Horace B. Our subject has Epson Mineral Springs on his farm, said to be
equal to the celebrated Tate Springs. Their little son, Horace Byron died
August 5th, 1887. In January previous he made a bright profession of
religion, and united himself with the "Church Militant on Earth," though a
child of only ten summers. He loved the church and the cause of Christ,
until death entered this home circle in the form of flux and took the darling
boy. In their sorrow they are sustained by hope that his freed spirit has
joined the triumphant throng that sing praises around the throne of God.
Byron was eleven years, one wee and two days old."
