From a TNGenweb site (here), we learn: "One of the earliest Brethren preachers in Tennessee was Isaac Hammer. He built a two story log house on Old Stage Road between Jonesboro and Blountville, TN, now located 3 mi. west of Johnson City, less than 1 mi. off the Johnson City-Kingsport highway. His initials and date, I.H. 1793, are chiseled in one of the foundation stones of the house."
