My great-grandfather five times removed, James McCauley,  moved to Cades Cove shortly after Mr. Tipton built the Tipton Home.  He had been enticed to move to the area because the Cove had lost it's Blacksmith and James was both a Blacksmith and Carpenter by trade.  Mr. Tipton offered to rent him the then, large home if he would stay and provide his services to the people of Cades Cove.  He lived in Cades Cove for 25 years and McCauley's Creek is named for him. Several family members are buried in the small cemetary behind the Methodist Church. James McCauley later became a Methodist Circuit rider and left the cove to establish McCauley Chapel in Northern Alabama where James and his wife are buried.

   Cades Cove has many camping sites with horse back rides, wagon rides, driving tours, and spectacular wild life for the visitor. If I can answer any questions or share any history with you regarding the Cove please feel free to contact Kaye at (877)837-2288.
