A Visit to Fort Blackmore

March Video Tour - Part 8

Finally, here is the concluding clip from my March family history video tour.

After leaving Solway Church of God in Solway, Tennessee, I continued on to Virginia in search for Martin Turpin's point of origination on the Clinch River. (Martin settled in Knox County sometime between 1796 and 1805).

Originally I had thought that Fort Blackmore was a possibility; however, it does appear that the Clinch is navigable even further upstream. In fact, even present-day Richlands, Virginia (over 50 miles further upstream) may have been a more likely starting point.
