Note: [StocktonDailey.ftw] [jlhemphill.FTW] Joseph Thomas Stockton 1852 - 1943 Cumberland Presbyterian Minister -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncle Joe Stockton, Tennessee Of Dyer, passed away in his ninety-first year, having been ill for a few days. He was quite active up until he was forced to lie down and take that final rest. "Uncle Joe," as we all know him, was loved and appreciated by all who knew him. He was a loyal Cumberland Presbytrian. I think I knew Uncle Joe. He loved, trusted, and obeyed God. God was real to Uncle Joe by experience. God give us more Uncle Joes. On April 8, all the ministers and visiting ministers of near-by towns were present to pay him special tribute. At his request, I tried in my feeble way to pay honor to a life so well-lived as Uncle Joe's. He was one of the greatest missionaries our church ever had. He gave his life for his Church without pay. God bless his memory to the good of all who knew him. He left behind a God-blessed wife and a group of fine children. May God bless and comfort each of their hearts. Rev. G.C. McIlwain.

The first settlers came from Currie Tuck County in North Carolina. The name Currie Tuck was given or named, for the community which was very appropriate. As the community grew and many more people moved in, the name was changed to Currie. In earlier years Currie Tuck claimed as its boundaries the Forked Deer on the South, Mud Creek, on the West, Cow Creek on the North, and on the east by Nee Road. A grocery store was built (1897-1898) and operated by Mr. J. T. Dillion for several years. One part of the store was a post office. Some of the operators of the store in later years were Mr. Coleman Draper, Mr. Will Judy, Mr. Faye Hensley, Mr. H. H. Isbell, Mr. J. T. Davidson, and Mr. J. P. Sims. The store was closed about 1975 when Mr. Sims retired. Good Hope Methodist Church and Clear Creek Baptist Church have served the community as places for worship more than one hundred years. At one time, there were two other churches about one mile south of the store near Hollis Springs Cemetery. Hollis Springs Church was a Northern Methodist; the other Duck Hill, an Adventist Church. A number of men from the Currie Community have served in County Court as Magistrates. After being elected, Magistrates would go by the name of Esquire. Some of those that can be recalled as Squires were Mr. Jim Thomas, W. B. Halliburton, Joe T.Hall, Claude Horner, O. T. Love, Lee Hall, Jim Green, and Raymond Hall. Thomas, who was Mr. Pickett Thomas� father, served as Chairman of the County Court in the late eighteen hundreds. Mr. Jim Thomas went to the Freed Clothing Store in Trenton one time to buy a pair of shoes for his son, Pickett. He asked Mr. Freed if he would take a check. Mr. Freed said, "You are one of those Currie Tuck boys. Those Currie Tuck boys are all, all right." Some of the names of the people who settled in the Currie Tuck Community in the 19th Century and the early 20th Century that can be remembered are as Follows: Woodard, Dillion, Balentine, Page, Timmons, Overall, Dickson, Pickard, Robinson, James, Duck, Fletcher, Thomas, Turner, Ashley, Green, Scott, Preslar, Nee, Davidson, West, Hall, Halliburton, Richardson, Terrell, Fisher, Pitt, Crouse, Brown, McCaslin, Barnett, Sims, Forrester, Ray, Smith, Thornton, Love, and Stockton. J. T. Stockton was a Cumberland Presbyterian preacher as well as a farmer. He was loved by all who knew him. He pastored churches in this area. He married many young couples and preached a great number of funerals. His farm was a part of what is now the James Green farm. The Currie Community has experienced many changes through the years and it still has the name of a community of fine people. Compiled by Raymond Halliburton in 1984 or 1985. submitted by Charles W.
