A really great book to get on the Inddian Creek Baptist Church is "A Promise of Good thing" Longfield Baptist Church 1831-1981" by Edith Wilson Hutton. Indian Creek was a sister church or a branch that was started from that church. It will give you alot of historical background, and it may even have some of your family member mentioned in the book. You can ask for it through interlibrary loan in you own public library nearest you.

I am looking for information about Indian Creek Baptist Church. This would be a rather old church and cemetery. I do not know what county this church is in.

I am searching for my family and have been told this may be a possible link to Riley Spradlin date of birth around 1840 or his son, George Spradlin. My grandparents were Benjamin Harrison and Waco Roach Spradlin of La Follette, Campbell County.

If you can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. Please email me at .........

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, The Church and Cemetery in Pinecrest Community, Indian Creek Memorial is known as The Cumberland View Baptist Church and the Cemetery is adjacent to it. Many graves of the Surnames that I listed above that were in the Original Indian Creek Cemetery moved to this cemetery. Alot of them are related to the family of Thomas Wilson and Mary Leah Louisa (Lear) Boatright and Thomases second wife Catherine Webb Wilson Cooper. Debbie Wilson Fehr great grandaughter of Catherine and Thomas.

The "New" Indian Creek Baptist Church (ICBC) and Cemetery in Campbell Co are located on Pinecrest Rd about 6 mi SE of Jacksboro, TN. They are identified as new because the original cemetery and church were moved to the current location in about 1935-36 when Norris Lake was impounded. Graves were moved from the old cem. to other cemeteries as well. TVA did a thorough cataloging of the graves that were moved and this information is available at the McClung Historical Library in Knoxville, TN. If you review this data you will find that the majority of graves were moved to cemetaries listed as the New Indian Creek Cem. and Indian Creek Memorial Cem. (this cem is now identified as the New Cumberland Cem. and is just 2-3 miles from Jacksboro on the same road). I point this out because it took me quite some time to discover the name change. Also note that Indian Creek is now identified as Big Creek.

The lady who recommended the book "A Promise of Good Things..." is right about its value to anyone researching the ICBC. It contains a wealth of information on the formation of the church and its early years of operation and even includes membership rolls at various times. My great-greatgrandfather, James C. Hutson, was apparently the pastor of the Church off and on for over 30 years in its early days.

James Hutson is my great-great grandfather. His daughter, Kesiah who was age 3 at the time of the 1860 Campbell County Census was my grandfather's mother. She married Andrew Gross Tiller (date unknown)and they had four children; Etta Bell Tiller, Robert H. Tiller (my grandfather), James Luther Tiller and Kate Tiller. Kesia was born 20 May 1855 in Campbell County Tennessee and she died 9 January 1920, age 67 and was buried in Longfield Baptist Church Cemetery near Lake City, Tennessee

Mr. Tiller,
James Hutson was also my gg grandfather, through his son Isaac. I would be most interested in corresponding with you and discussinf some of the information I have regarding the family. If interested, please contatct me at hutsonke@juno.com.

I am looking for the sons of John Hutson and his wife Margaret Elizabeth "Lizzie" Wilson Hutson. The sons lived and I think died in Campbell Co., around LaFollettee. The sons are Marshall Monroe Hutson and Charles Daniel Hutson. Would you know anything about these families. You may e-mail me direct at kinseeker@harenet.net

Thank you
Linda

I have Isaac Hutson married to Eura Jackson. They had Tabitha about 1850. They were members of the Indian Creek Baptist Church in the 1840s. Eura spent her whole life in and around Campbell County. Her estate was settled in 1893. Isaac Hutson disappears after the 1860 census. I need to know his lineage and what happened to him. Thanks,

I believe that families could opt to remove their own graves. For this they would recieve money to cover the cost of the removal. In the 1840s my ancestors were members of that church. My GG Grandfather William R. Jackson became a minister and did missionary work in Campbell, Anderson and finally, Morgan countie until his death there in 1886. I would not have know all this without "the book". He and his wife (Mahala Cooper Jackson) sold land on Cove Creek in the 1850s. This land is now underwater. Her family's cemetery (Cooper's View) is above (barely) the water line still. I believe that my GGG Grandparents David and Sarah (Low) Jackson may be victims of an undocumented, family grave removal.

I took a picture of the Indian Creek church and of a monument in Cooper's view cemetery in July 2000. I could email these to any researcher that needs them.

Have received you email re. James Hutson. I don't have any information about my great-grandmother's brother, Isaac Hutson. I find him listed in the 1860 census as you probably have. You might try someone willing to do some lookup for you in Campbell County Tennessee. I think they have some folks listed on their home page. Sorry I can't be of any further help.
