In 1747, his family moved to the Shenandoah Valley on Virginia's western frontier. By the late 1750s, Tipton owned a 181-acre farm along the Shenandoah River in Frederick County, where he raised crops and livestock, and produced whiskey. In 1761, he supported George Washington's campaign for the House of Burgesses. This article appeared in the Maryland Gazette of January 27, 1757. It says: "We are informed that the beginning of this month, died in Baltimore County, Mr. Jonathan Tipton, aged 118 years. He was born at Kingston Jamaica, which place he left while young and lived almost ever since in this Province, and had his perfect senses to the last. He had a remarkable strength of memory. His youngest sons are reckoned among the oldest men in Baltimore County." Jonathan had immigrated to Maryland from Jamaica, an exotic place for a young boy to hear about. According to Tipton Family history, John’s great grandfather, Edward, was a soldier in the army of General Robert Venable who sailed in the English fleet of Sir Admiral William Penn that conquered Jamaica from the Spanish in 1655. This family lore, told around the fireside, was heady stuff for a boy growing up. Besides that, Grandfather Jonathan bred race horses on his Maryland plantation called Poor Jamaica Man’s Plague. Stories and fine horseflesh provided plenty of adventurous tales in the life of young John Tipton. He might also have heard the legend of his ancestor, Anthony de Tipton, who was knighted by English King Edward I after Tipton slew Welsh Prince Llewellyn in 1282.

May 1st, 1897: Sacred to the memory of the late Col. John Tipton of Washington County, in the State of Tennessee. Placed here by the officers and members of the Forty-ninth General Assembly of that state, as a token of the regard for the talents and exalted worth of the deceased. As an early adventurer in this country he was distinguished for his daring intrepidity in the sanguinary Indian wars of the day. He gave promise of the future by the deeds of his youth, and verified public expectations by the lofty stand he afterwards assumed and always sustained in the councils of his state. He was an incompatible patriot, bold in conception and fearless in execution. Covered with honors and with years he descended to the grave on October 8, 1831, in the sixty-fourth of his age.
Col. John Tipton was a Gentleman Justice and Vestryman for Beckford Parish, served on the Resolution Committee in June 1774. In the spring of 1776, Tipton, who had aligned himself with the growing Patriot cause, and served in the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1776 for what is now Shenandoah County. He was also the Sheriff and County-Lieutenant, and represented it in the House of Delegates (when Dunmore) in 1776-7, and as Shenandoah in 1778-81. He went soon after to Washington County, Tennessee (then North Carolina) which he represented in the Jonesboro and Franklin Conventions in 1784 and 1785. He also served in the North Carolina Senate, and represented the county in the 1796 Tennessee Constitutional Convention. Colonel John Tipton and his family moved from Virginia to East Tennessee in 1783. The Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site is located on part of the 100 acres of land upon which the Tiptons settled. Colonel Tipton died at his homestead on Sinking Creek in Washington County, TN but was buried at Elizabethton, Carter County, TN. He was an American frontiersman and statesman who was active in the early development of the state of Tennessee. He is best remembered for leading the opposition to the State of Franklin movement in the 1780s, as well as his rivalry with Franklinite leader, John Sevier. He also served in the legislatures of Virginia, North Carolina, the Southwest Territory, and Tennessee, and was a delegate to Tennessee's 1796 constitutional convention. Tipton's homestead still stands, and is managed as the Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site. During the course of the Revolution, Tipton suffered a number of personal tragedies. His wife, Mary, died in 1776 while giving birth. His son, Abraham, was killed while fighting under George Rogers Clark, and another son, William, was badly wounded during the Siege of Savannah Colonel John Tipton spent the remaining fourteen years of his life on his plantation at the foot of Buffalo Mountain. He died in August, 1813 at the age of 83. His home is now a Tennessee State Historic Site, the Tipton-Haynes Homesite. Judge Samuel C. Williams, Chairman of the State Historical Commission, exclaimed in 1945 when the state acquired the property that “no other site in Tennessee compares with this in its historic interest”.According to the Reverend Ervin Charles Tipton in his book We Tiptons and Our Kin, the Colonel’s son John received a letter of condolences from Thomas Jefferson. President Jefferson said “Colonel John Tipton was a man of strong conviction and loyal determination. He was endowed with a high order of intellect. He possessed a high sense of honor. He was a personification of loyalty to the State and Country.” This statement is found in a Bible owned by Abraham Butler Tipton, grandson of the Colonel and son of John.

The political career of John Tipton, Jr. began in 1803 when he was elected to represent Sullivan County in the 5th Tennessee General Assembly (1803-1805). After completing his two year term and for the next seven consecutive years, he was elected to serve in the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th General Assemblies. Unfortunately, little is known about the political career and mind of Tipton, Jr. At the height of his career as a Tennessee legislator, he was elected to serve as the Speaker of the House during the 7th General Assembly (1807-1809). After a brief hiatus, he was elected to represent Sullivan and Hawkins Counties in the senate of the 12th General Assembly (1817-1819).

He served in both the Tennessee House of Representatives, where he was Speaker, and the State Senate. In the fall of 1797, John, Elizabeth, and two of their children moved from Virginia and settled in Sullivan County, Tennessee. In a newly formed town called Blountville, Tipton, Jr. bought six hundred acres of land for four thousand dollars from his father-in-law, Lawrence Snapp II. n this tract of land, he built a two story hewn log cabin with a hewn log back wing which included four stone chimneys. The logs have since been enclosed in white clapboard siding, while two of the chimneys have been encased with red bricks. Much like his father’s house, the Blountville home also contained a cellar underneath the structure that was used as the kitchen. The Tipton, Jr. home is considered to be the second oldest building still standing in Blountville. From the time of his arrival in Blountville till roughly two years before his death, John Tipton, Jr. was one of the top land owners and sellers of the town. Along with his six hundred acres, he went on to buy roughly four hundred and fifteen more acres of land and two lots for a cost of nearly four thousand dollars. Within those thirty years, though, he sold over one thousand and two hundred acres of land and ten lots for a profit of nearly twenty thousand dollars. On March 17, 1825, he also gave Lawrence Snapp, his brother-in-law, two and a half acres of land for free. In his will, Tipton, Jr. divided his 200 acre farm between his three children Samuel, Elizabeth, and Edna. Samuel, his second oldest son, inherited the house. The couple had nine children: two sons and seven daughters.

Battle of the State of Franklin Feb 27th-29th 1788
By 1788 the State of Franklin had existed for over three years with no major conflicts with the North Carolina loyalists. Tensions, however, between the Franklinites and the North Carolina loyalists (or also called Tiptonites) developed into open conflict in February of that year.
The Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site
The Tipton-Haynes State Historic Site tells the rich story of the history of Northeast Tennessee and of the several families that lived here. The site includes 45 acres, eleven historic buildings, the Tipton/Gifford/Simerly cemetery, a limestone cave, a natural spring, a buffalo trace, a nature trail, and a Visitor Center. The Visitor Center contains a permanent exhibit, museum store, educational spaces, a library, and archives. Purchasing the site in 1784, Colonel John Tipton (1730-1813) moved from Shenandoah County, Virginia to settle in what was then Washington County, North Carolina. For the next four years, the formation and decline of the State of Franklin became an important issue for the area and the life of Colonel Tipton, who stayed loyal to North Carolina. In February of 1788, the Battle of the State of Franklin turned the peaceful home of Colonel Tipton’s into a battle ground for Franklin independence. Colonel Tipton would later help with the development of Tennessee becoming the 16th state of the Union before retiring from public life. After his father’s death, John Tipton, Jr. (1767-1831) inherited the property. Before moving to Washington County, Tipton, Jr. was already a successful state legislator and wealthy land owner in Blountville, Tennessee. Tipton, Jr. expanded his father’s cabin in the 1820s, making it a Federal style farmhouse. While attending the 19th General Assembly, he died in Nashville.
The heirs of John Tipton, Jr. sold the property to David and Rhoda Haynes in 1837. For a wedding gift, David and Rhoda gave the property to Landon Carter Haynes (1816-1875), their oldest son, in 1839. That year, Landon had married Eleanor Powell. In the 1850s, he expanded the former Tipton home into how it appears today. Haynes is best known for being a Confederate senator, but was also a state legislator, politician, farmer, newspaper editor, Methodist minister, and attorney. Losing his home during the Civil War, Haynes moved to and lived the rest of his life in Memphis, Tennessee. The site would eventually return to the Haynes family when, on May 1, 1882, Sarah L. Gifford Simerly (1847-1935) purchased the property. Sarah was the niece of Landon Carter Haynes.
