Beechville

Samuel McCutchen, Charles Brown, and Samuel Edmiston settled here before 1800. Thomas W. Stockett, who built a hill on Little Harpeth River, came by 1802. Near the intersection of Beech Creek Road, and the Nashville - Hillsboro Turnpike were various businesses - saddletree and wagon makers, a blacksmith shop, sawmill, two stores, post office (1876-1903), and a toll gate. A Masonic lodge and Harpeth Academy shared a building north of Harpeth Presbyterian Church. Community schools were Oak Hill, Sunnyside and Beechville (black). Doctors M. T. Byrn|, W. J. Parker, and John Sugg attended the area's medical needs. Greater Pleasant View Baptist Church, organized in 1894, moved from Sneed Road to Hillsboro Road ca 1932.
