For everyone who wrote me, I am going to re-post Gerald's message about the
Campbell County History Book. It gives all the information that you need.

I have spoken to Ms. Trulene Nash, Publications Chairman for the Campbell
County Historical Society newsletter, and received her encouragement and
permission to print the following information. Which first appeared in the
Historical Society's newsletter "The Campbell County Countian"

Campbell County Tennessee Family History Book.

Anyone can participate!

Our Book Committee decided to use a narrative form of writing

about our families (not charts and tabular material) but facts and stories
in

a flowing mid narrative form. A short history of approximately 500 words

(it can be less), type-written, double-spaced, on 81/2 X 11 inches) on white
bond At the end of the articles we want the name and address of the
submitter.

Begin with the earliest ancestor that you have knowledge of; telling where
they came from and how, where and when they settled in Campbell County
Tennessee. Were they married before coming here, if so where and when.

How many children, names, dates of birth/death, where they attended school,
occupation, what churches were attended, were there any Veterans in the
family? if they left Campbell County where did they go and why? Any
interesting stories you know about them, please relate. Where are they
buried - cemetery - dates of death.

1. If you presently live in Campbell County.

2. If you are a former resident of Campbell County.

3. If you have "roots" in Campbell County.

4. If you have several direct lines from, or in, Campbell County you can

submit them.

We know some counties who have published such a book, after which many
families did not submit, and were sorry they had not participated, and asked
if they would publish another book so they could get their families included
therein. Don't let that happen to you. Please think this proposition over
and let us know by May 1 2001, if you are willing to join us in this
venture. (Deadline has been extended).

If we do not get enough interest to proceed we would like to request that
those of you who would , send us a record of your family lines so that we
could place them in our Genealogical Library to share with other people who
are researching.

Below is a sample that would be helpful for you who are interested in
helping us on this project. We await your response.

Sincerely, Alice W. COKER, Temporary Chairman of the Book Committee

Fountain and Elizabeth (Rogers) Maupin

Note; This article is a sample of how the articles for the Campbell County
Family History Book should be written:

Fountain MAUPIN, a son of Thomas and Catherine (WHITE) MAUPIN, was born 11
July 1806 in Albemarle County, Virginia, and died 30 December 1868 in
Claiborne County, Tennessee. Fountain is a great-great-grandson of Gabriel
and Marie (HERSENT) MAUPIN, who immigrated with some of their children from
Europe to Virginia in 1700.

Fountain MAUPIN moved from Virginia to Campbell County, Tennessee in the
early 1830s, settling, it is believed, in the Fincastle area where his older
brother Overton MAUPIN, and his uncle, Amos MAUPIN, had already settled.
Fountain married on 19 February 1835 in Claiborne County, Tennessee to
Elizabeth ROGERS by the Rev. William ROGERS. Elizabeth ROGERS, a daughter of
Maj. David and Mary "Polly"(LEWIS) ROGERS, was born 3 October l8l7 in
Claiborne County, Tennessee and died 30 September 1880 in Claiborne County,
Tennessee. Elizabeth was the only daughter in a family of twelve children.
Her eleven brothers were said to be either lawyers or doctors. Fountain
moved his family to Speedwell in Claiborne County, Tennessee in the early
1840s. It was there that they built a two story brick home. It is said that
the slaves, believed to be the ROGERS' slaves, made the bricks on the MAUPIN
land to build the house. It was here that the MAUPIN family lived, and
Fountain and Elizabeth died!
. The house is still standing in Speedwell. Fountain and Elizabeth were
buried in the Maupin-Dyer Cemetery on a hill overlooking their home in
Speedwell, Claiborne County, Tennessee.

Fountain and Elizabeth were the parents of 8 children:


1.. John Thomas MAUPIN b. 1837-d. 1915 md Hester Virginia HUTSELL
2.. Thurza Matilda MAUPIN b. 1839-md John M. MITCHELL. They moved to
Texas.
3. David Canada MAUPIN b. l84l-d. 1933 md Mary Ann ROGERS

4. William Frank MAUPIN b. 1843-md Betty BOWMAN

5. Martha Jane MAUPIN b. 1846-d. 1909 md Sterling Robert QUEENER

6. Lucinda Maria MAUPIN b. 1848-md David F. BEELER

7. Elizabeth MAUPIN md William "Uncle Billy" BOLTON
