This church was founded circa 1800 as Harpeth Lick Presbyterian Church on Owen Hill Road. In 1803 a member of the congregation, Revolutionary War Veteran Robert Wilson, served as commissioner to the Cumberland Presbytery. Samuel Wilson, the first member of the church, and his brothers Robert, Zacheus, Josiah and Moses Wison were all early Harpeth Lick leaders. Harpeth Lick became a part of the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination in 1810. The log church building was intentionally burned after housing smallpox patients. In 1841 Zacheus Wilson deeded 2.5 acres to Commissioners Thomas White, William G. Hatcher, and John L. Wilson for this second Harpeth Lick location.

Maps this old were drawn largely by eye, so places on them can sit miles from where they really are. The pin is ours and marks the marker's location today.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
