The act establishing Williamson
County passed the General Assembly October 26, 1799. The
territory was cut off from Davidson County, and embraced the
following boundaries: "Beginning at a point forty poles due
north of the dwelling house of David McClory on the waters of
Little Harpeth, running thence east two miles and one hundred
and four poles; thence south seventy degrees, east sixteen miles
and two hundred and seventy poles; thence due south to the
Indian boundary line; thence with said line westerly to the
Robertson County line; thence north with said line to a point
due west of the mouth of Little Harpeth; thence in a direct line
to the mouth of the Little Harpeth; thence along said river to
the place of beginning, to be known as Williamson County."
The county was named in honor of Gen.
Williamson, of North Carolina. John Johnson, Sr., Daniel
Perkins, James Buford, William Edmonson and Capt. James Scurlock
were appointed commissioners to select a site for the county
seat and to erect a court house, jail and stocks. Henry
Rutherford and John Davis were appointed to run the boundary
line where not sufficiently designated by nature.
