"On October 29, 1921 the church at Newcomb burned, but before the fire was out a building committee was appointed and began immediately to solicit funds for a new church which has now been completed at a cost of $5,000 to $6,000. This church, built of brick and concrete, is one of the most beautiful churches in the conference. Mr Homer Rodeheaver, Billy Sunday's companion in evangelism, has kindly contributed $1,000 to this project."

The Kincaid-Claiborne House

The Kincaid-Claiborne House 1820s
And
The Kincaid-Little House Stone Barn 1850s
The Kincaid-Claiborne House in Campbell County, TN was built in the 1820s1,2 of bricks kilned on the property. Construction was done by the family slaves. The Kincaid-Claiborne House is located in the Valley View Community about 5 miles northeast of LaFollette. The House sits well off old highway 63 on Dossett Creek in the midst of the surrounding farmlands and pasture.1 In this painting, I included the surrounding farmland around the house to show the beauty and majesty of the valley.
The House was built by John Kincaid II for his wife Jane Smith, whom he married in 1824, for their first home. Its design is colonial American, typical of the period 1750-1850. It came to be the design for other substantial brick homes that John Kincaid II constructed in later years.
The property on which the house is located is marked by a stone monument (cairne) near the highway which reads, “John Kincaid of Fincastle (1771-1814) and his wife Nancy Young who pioneered this 329 ½ acre home site in 1808.” The Cairne was made from the stone fireplace of the original John Kincaid’s log home. Their children, including John Kincaid II, went forth from this place to do their part in building America, thus fulfilling their Scottish Heritage. The Kincaid-Little House also built by John Kincaid II for his daughter in the 1850s housed a stone barn. 1 That stone barn was added to this painting although it is located and still standing today at the Kincaid-Little site. There are two other out buildings on the property. One is the spring house and is built directly over the creek. The other building’s function does not have any documentation to its function that I could find.
1. “The Kincaid Family” by Bathsheba (Bashie) Wynn Kincaid. Research for this book was conducted by many members of our extended family.
2. It should be noted that the Campbell County Historical Society had other dates for the building of this house; however, they were hand written on a paper almost a century later. I chose to use the family’s information.
