Notes

George Gillespie: The wealthiest man in the county that year was Robert Campbell’s neighbor, George Gillespie; his net taxable worth was calculated at £11,016! After Robert Campbell’s death circa 1797, his 400 acre tract, including a mill, was sold to Gillespie by Robert’s heirs (see Table 7 below). The location of Gillespie’s land is well known, hence we can use this fact to approximate the location of Robert Campbell’s property. George Gillespie was an early settler, having arrived in 1772, who purchased land from Jacob Brown (who had acquired it from the Cherokees!) near the mouth of Big Limestone Creek about three miles from its junction with the Nolichucky River. Today this site is very near the boundary line between modern-day Greene and Washington Counties, Tennessee.
