There were LIPPS that came to CLAIBORNE County with the SMITH's from CARTER County, around the 1830 period. There was a Jacob LIPPS, from my memory??..., that married into the SMITH family and came here. I can't remember now if he had married a SMITH, or an ELLIOTT. I want to say ELLIOTT. John SMITH married Nancy Anne ELLIOTT in Elizabethton about 1820 and came here to this county about the 1830 period and lived on the Powell River, in Wagon Hollow. His children married from both sides of the river, and my gg grandfather, Absolum Green Berry Smith, married on the Powell Valley side and lived on that side of the river. His farm was on the Dividing Ridge. I own some of the farm he once owned. I want to say that Jacob LIPPS married Catherine ELLIOTT, but I'm at work now and can't check. That is where they lived, however, was down in the Greasy Hollow area, close to the river. Hope this helps.
