More About William Campbell

The first Justice of the Peace in Pike County was William Campbell who came to Floyd County (Now Pike County) in 1818. He acquired most of Upper Chloe Creek from Shelby to the top of Chloe Mountain (previously called Road Fork) and up the creek towards Frozen Creek. His son William Woodward Campbell stayed in the same area. William Woodward's son Thomas Campbell was a Baptist Preacher that also stayed on the Campbell land. Two of Thomas' children Alvin and Steve (my Grandfather) lived their lives out on the Campbell farm as did several of their children. I too am one of those that are still living on part of the original land acquired by William in 1818. Information submitted by Eddie Campbell.
