On July 17, 1976, the Mary Blount Chapter replaced the tombstone originally placed in 1923. The site is located on the Barbra Estates Road, off Boling Road, in Blount County, Tennessee about twenty feet down the third driveway on the right, in a clump of trees.
Monument inscription: “Erected in memory of the pioneer Campbell Family, Father, Mother, and child, which, while passing from the McTeer Fort to McGaughey’s Fort about the year 1794, were waylaid and killed by the Indians.” A descendant of Jim Jeffries, who found the massacred family, contributed to the expense of the marker. A deed restriction was put on the property to ensure that the monument would be preserved.
From a 1923 newspaper article:
“A family named Campbell started to go from McTeer’s Fort to McCresky’s or McGaughey’s Fort, and on the way, about a mile from Eusebia, were waylaid and massacred. When they were found, their friends buried them all in one grave, and that grave has been carefully kept and cared for to this day. In less than ten steps from that grave, there is still in 1923, the Old Indian War Trail as it ever was, except for the growth of some trees and saplings – a few in the path but most of them near the edge. (This is now a housing development.)”
