    Notes:

    "Campbell County Tennessee USA: A History of Places, Faces, Happenings, Traditions, and Things", Vol. I., by Dr. Miller McDonald. Campbell County, Tennessee County History. . As specified in the act that created the county, the first court was held at the home of Richard Linville. Linville owned his home, a farmstead, and public tavern in the area where La Follette is presently located. This site was selected because of Linville's prominence in the community and because the public house owned and operated by him was thought to be big enough to hold meetings pertaining to public affairs. Due to the size of the crowd in attendance, court was moved outside and held out of the back of an old-time wagon bed. Linville owned a copper still and was famous for the manufacture of "Indian Peach Brandy".

    Campbell County Court Record Index. Chapter and Section 21.6. Campbell County Court held at his home.

    Campbell County Tennessee USA (see above): History of Jacksboro, Tennessee. The town of Jacksboro and the land area surrounding it are more closely tied to Campbell County, its government and history than any other. As a small town it ranks among the oldest. ... The location of Jacksboro as the county seat for Campbell County was settled only after some debate and wrangling. The act creating Campbell County in 1806 appointed as commissioners James Grant, William Hancock, Jacent Cloud, Robert Glenn, RICHARD LINVILLE, Sampson David and John English to "lay out a place, the most suitable and convenient in said county for the purpose of erecting a court house, prison and stocks."

    Several Christians were in the very first wagon train to take the Applegate Trail, and the leaders of this train were
    Christians. This was the train led by brothers-in-law Harrison Linville and Medders Vanderpool. Vanderpool was married to Margaret Linville, a younger sister to Harrison. Among the other Christians in this train were John Bird Bounds and his wife, Elizabeth Lovelady Bounds. Their oldest daughter, Nancy Bounds Linville, was married to Harrison Linville.

    Except for one 77-year-old man, the oldest travelers in the
    train were Richard and Mary Linville, both in their 70s. They were the parents of Harrison Linville, Margaret Vanderpool and Catherine Crowley.

    Thomas and Mary ("Aunt Polly") Lovelady were also in
    this train. He was a brother to Elizabeth Bounds. Three other Christian families in this train were Absalom and Mary Ann Faulconer, Robert and Sarah Lancefield, and John Burris and Emily Smith. John Burris Smith was a gospel preacher, and his arrival brought the number of Christian preachers in Oregon to four.


    Census:

Polk signed a bill approving the boundaries of the Oregon territory, which officially separated the territory from England. Thus came the name Polk County.

    Thomas Linvil
    Date: Jun 3, 1755
    Location: Augusta Co., VA
    Record ID: 32131
    Description: Neighbor
    Book-Page: 7-219

    Property: 500 acres on Linvil's Creek; corner to land in possession of Thomas Linvil.

    Remarks: £150. Purchased by Joseph Bryan from Wm. Linvil and part of 1500 acres purchased by Linvil from Hite, &c..

    This land record was originally published in "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, 1745-1800. Extracted from the Original Court Records of Augusta County" by Lyman Chalkley

    Son Thomas Linville built a cabin along the Codorus Creek ( now Adams County, PA), on the other side of the Susquehanna from the Conestoga community before 1730 when Penn's government had already forbidden such moves because of agreements with the Susquehanna Indians.

    Thomas* married Hannah* Morgan (?), (dau?) about 1746 in Pennsylvania. Hannah* (daughter of Edward Morgan, (immigrant) and Margaret Elizabeth Jarman (?)) was born on 19 Feb 1713 in Gwynedd, Montgomery Co, Pennsylvania; died in 1773 in North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Married in St.Pauls Episcopal Church. (not verified)

    "Thomas WAS married to a Hannah, but as with his father, I am not sure if she is a first or second wife -- I am reasonably sure he had two. There is no place for a marriage for them and we only know that he was married to her from one record in 1746/7. Children were born to him before that and after that, but no evidence related to her definite surname or her children with Thomas."
    (From Alice Echols via email, Oct 1, 2012)

    Some researchers have said she was Hannah Morgan, daughter of Edward Morgan (b. Abt 1650 d. Aft 1734) and Margaret Elizabeth Jarman (?) (b. 16 Nov 1691 d. 1730); however there is no substantiation that Hannah was a Morgan, nor is there any substantiation that Edward & Elizabeth had a daughter named Hannah.

    The birth order of these children is not necessarily their real birth order. There may have been one more son.

    Children:
    1. 4. Thomas* Linville was born in 1735 in Virginia; died in 1818 in White Co, Tennessee; was buried in Howell Farm Cemetery, White Co, Tennessee.
    2. Richard Linville was born about 1740 in Surry Co, North Carolina; died in 1821 in Surry Co, North Carolina.
    3. David Linville was born about 1742; died about 1787 in North Carolina.
    4. Aaron Linville was born in 1750 in Granville Co, North Carolina; died in Sep 1824 in Stokes Co, North Carolina.
    5. Moses Linville was born in 1752 in Virginia; died in 1826 in Surry Co, North Carolina.
