Cumberland
Presbyterian Church at Campground
was organized in 1830. Some of the charter
members were Wm. McCullom and wife, Wilford Farris, Sr., Wm.
Pickard and wife, Sam Sampson and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Walls
and Mr. Farris. This is supposedly the location of the first
church in Obion County. Rev. Jack Ward; 1860-1881
Rev. John A Dunlap, J. N. Bryson, J. G. Braley, George McIlwaine
and John A. McIlwaine. Church records show the
following to have made profession of religions: James Harper, E.
D. Farris, R. H. Marshall and the elder Garrison.
Obion County
History, Vol. 1, p. 434 it is written that a Methodist Church
was organized in 1830 in the home of William Mitchell Wilson and
his wife Rebecca with 7 charter members. Rebecca
was the daughter of Thomas and Lucy Lawson Wilson and first
cousin of her husband, William. In early 1823 William
and Rebecca settled on a portion of the 4800 acre land grant and
April 6, 1823 their son, Thomas D. Wilson was born, the first
white child in what would
soon be Obion County. Col. Wilson's home was also scene of
the organization of the county and court met there until the
courthouse was built. Col. Wilson donated 14 acres for a
church and cemetery which has been known as Campground for many
years.
He died in 1837 and Rebecca in 1885, both are buried at
Campground
August 2000, Bert Smith <bertsmith@click1.net> I am now the administrator of Campground Cemetery in Troy, Tennessee. I have hand written records, and if I see anything concerning the cemetery, I'll try to reply. I don't know when I'll have time right now to get them typed up. When I do, I'll ask what to do with the file. The cemetery is well kept now and is in good shape due in large part to the efforts of Roy and Lacye Green. Roy is dead now, and Lacye is in a nursing home. Her son, who lives in Nashville, gave the responsibility to me because I live in the area and have family buried there. You can forward inquiries about Campground to me.
