John Rushing, James Keele, and John Landrum founded the Harpeth Baptist Church on Nov, 7, 1839. Rushing was the first pastor. In 1840 John Scales donated two acres on the Harpeth River north of Eagleville for the site of the first meetinghouse. The congregation moved to Eagleville in 1860, and by 1870 a brick church was built on this site. In 1878 Chesley Williams gave the church land to James C. Williams, W. H. McCord, and Thomas N. Wilson, deacons of the church.
