Hello,
My grandmother Augusta Miller (maiden name) always told me that our family had once owned the Tipton Farm in Cades Cove. I have tried to trace the tree back but it gets confusing because of all the same names. I know that her mothers name was Eva Tipton who married Noah Miller both of which died and my grandmother was raised by her grandmother (who they called granny Tipton) I could never find any other link to the Tipton’s other than my great grandmother Eva. Can anyone please help?
Thank you,
Mike Hembree

Hello,
My grandmother always told me that someone in her family actually owned the Tipton Farm in Cades cove. I found her Grandmother Eva Tipton who married Noah Miller but I am not sure who Eva’s parents were or her grandparents. Can you please help me get in the right direction?
Thank you,

Sarah E. Stover Tipton was my great grandaunt.  She was my great grandmother’s older sister. I have a family portrait that includes my great grandparents and three of their children, including my grandfather. There are two other women in the portrait. I believe one is Sarah’s mother Joanna Gaines and I believe one of the individuals is Sarah E. Stover Tipton. Sarah married Winfield Scott Tipton on 15 November 1870 in Elizabethton, TN. I would like to post this portrait and inquire if any of your members can confirm the identification of Sarah E. Stover Tipton.

I don’t know that I qualify for membership in your group. Please let me know if you can help.

I am writing a biography of Sarah for my family history blog and hope to have it published in the Watauga Association of Genealogists Bulletin. I want to publish the photo of Sarah but would like confirmation of my identification.

Thank you for your consideration.
