A Visit to Concord, Tennessee

 

In the late 1790s, young Martin Turpin arrived with the David Love family in East Tennessee. They came down the Clinch River on flatboats, rounded the bend at Southwest Point, and maneuvered upstream on the Holston River until they came to the Concord, Tennessee area.

In this video, Dr. Randy Turpin visits two important sites at Concord. He also speaks of the Russell, Campbell and Thompson families—people whose stories are relevant to the Turpin family story.
