I don't have any info that could help you but I can make a couple of suggestions. Try the local genealogical society in Corbin. They would have info on the children's home. They may be able to direct you to documents, possibly.
The Speedwell that your speaking about is more than likely over in Claiborne County, Tn. The valley is more than likely Powell Valley, also in Claiborne County, Tn.
Hope this helps.
: My mother put my two brothers and myself in
: the children's home in Corbin, Kentucky when
: I was 3 and a half years old. My mother died
: 4 years later. Her name was Nannie Marie
: Cupp, but everyone knew her just as Marie.
: We have been trying to find our real father
: for the past 50 years, but everytime we get
: close to the answer a mystery death appears.
: Our other relatives only tell us that we
: will find out things that we don't want to
: know, but we do want to know. One lead that
: we have that could possibly be our father is
: that my mother use to work in a tobacco
: field in Speedwell, Tennessee in the 40s and
: she was seeing a man there from the valley.
: If you have any information about the Cupp
: ancestry or where the valley is located at
: please contact me at rubyguitar7@yahoo.com.
