Notes for SARAH HEARN: SARAH HEARN is the daughter of George and Tabitha Skeen Hearn. Her father is a desendent of an London merchant who came to the Maryland Colony of America in the late 1600s. Her mother has an interesting and historic ancestry back through Robert I Bruce, King of Scotland. Aye..., we are very proud of this, indeed! ..........to be continued - sjc 1997 Notes for HUGH CAMPBELL: HUGH CAMPBELL was born ca 1796 in Kentucky, four years after statehood was gained from Virginia. Thus far, we know very little of his early life in Wilson & Smith County, Tennessee except that in 1816 he married Sarah Hearn, daughter of George & Tabitha Skeen Hearn. He was a trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, near the present day community of Watertown, on the banks of Round Lick Creek. His family lived previously or had lands nearby in Smith County, possibly near Hickman Creek or Smith's Fork, which he sold to his two oldest sons, George and James when, in 1847 he decided to move further west in Wilson county, just south of the county seat of Lebanon. He supported his family here, farming on 317 acres for eight years, then, in 1855, sold his lands, (at a very good profit), and moved to the westernmost reaches of the county, to a community on Suggs Creek, at the time called, Rural Hill. Here he purchased 345 acres and was quite prosperous, raising a large family, growing crops, and making shoes until the Civil War and Union armies ravaged his land and livelyhood. He died on the 7th of March 1867 and is remembered still to this day. ...............to be continued sjc 1996 |
