John Rushing, James Keele, and John Landrum founded Harpeth Baptist Church on Nov, 7, 1839, and 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 had been 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.
