Samuel Tipton was the oldest son of Colonel John Tipton (born 1732 in Marylland, died 1815, and buried at home on Sinking Creek, Washington County, Tennessee.) and his first wife, Mary Butler (born----, died June 8 , 1776, in Varginia).Samuel Tipton was also a Revolutionary soldier of Virginia. He came probably with his father, Colonel John Tipton , in 1783 to Watauga County, and Samuel Tipton owned large lands in Carter County, He owned the land where Elizabethton now stands. The first court held in Carter County was in his house. He was a member of the Shenandoah Baptist Church, Shenandoah County, Virginia, and brought his letter from that church, dated Sept. 6, 1783 or 85, and presented it to the Sinking Creek Baptist Church on his arrival in Watauga County. This letter was signed by James Ireland, moderator. So that is where James Ireland Tipton may have got his name. Samuel was very active in the Baptist Church in East Tennessee.

RESI
James Ireland Tipton, first born son of Samual Tipton,Sr. and named for a well known Babtist minister of Shenandoah County, Virginia, with whom the Tipton family were closely associated, was October 14, 1792 in Carter County.
Named for a minister, Strangely enough he became one.
He was most likely, a member of the Sinking Creek Babtist Chu8rch, Although his name is not found there, for his second wife was a member there, and they were married by Rees Bayless, a Babtist Minister.
But he became identified with the Christian Church, or Deciple of Christ in the vary early part of its existance.
He likely came under the influence of Elder James Miller of Boone's Creek, whose preaching of the restoration Principles stirred upper Tennessee about 1820's.
Tipton is credited with the organization of the Christian Church on boffalo Creek, later Milligan College.This church was in Exitance on June 24, 1832, at which time John Wright, also a Babtist from Sinking Creek who hadturned to the Christian Church, and had joined the Buffalo Creek. An old Reasurer's records of Buffalo Creek Christian Church, with Michael Hyder, Treas., listed James I Tipton and his "Col. Woman Mary" as contributors to that church.
We find that Tipton Babtized Thomas J. Wright in 1841. Wright had also come from the Babtists.
Carter County recordes show marriages performed in 1852 by Tipton and singed as Minister of the Gospel. Little definite has been preserved of his early labors, but it is certain that during those days just preceeding the civil WAr that he made no mean contribution to spread of the Restoration doctrine in East Tennessee. His old family bible and a cherry secretary are the prized posessions of a descendant to-day.
James I. Tipton was twice married; forst on june 21, 1812 to Nancy Patterson of Carter County, Tennessee, a daughter of Gavan (or John) Patterson of Carter County, Tennessee. She died July 14, 1823, leaving four living Children.
On Oct 14 1824 he married, Jonna Gourley, daughter of James and Mary Patton Gourley. Joanna Gourley was born, January 16, 1805 near Milliganh College, Carter County, Tennessee, and died, May, 1867, in Springfield, Illinois, where she had gone to visit a daughter, Ann Tipton Tilson. She is buried in a village just south of the city of Springfield, Illinois.
James Ireland Tipton's home in Elizabethton is standing to-day on Race Street neasr the Watauga River. James Ireland Tipton was laid to rest besides his first wife in the Green Hill Cemetery, the family cemetery of his parents.
The Epitah on his tomstone reads "I'am now ready to be offered".
