Notes:

Charles Clemson spent his life in Gatlinburg. He was a blacksmith and farmer.
He and Rebecca lived at first on a farm on Panther Creek, moving to the farm on
the River Road about 1890. Here he had his blacksmith shop. While his father
made the first wagon in the village, Charlie made the first wagon that crossed
the mountain. He and his sons farmed much of what is now the upper part of the
city of Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

He was a member of the Baptist Church and led the singing for many years,
finally persuading the folks to choose another leader about a year before his
death.

Rev. Richard Evans married C. C. and Rebecca at the Sugarlands.
