About 1/2 mile east, Joseph Brown lived. En route to the Cumberland Settlements by river from North Carolina in 1788, he was captured by Indians from Nickajack Cave. He escaped and in 1792 led the Ore expedition back to destroy the town. Settling here, he was one of Maury Co.'s leading citizens. The first County Court met here in 1807.
