One settler was Archibald Stuart, a Scotch Presbyterian, who arrived in the area in 1738.[7][5][9] Stuart settled about three miles east of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church which he helped found in 1744.[8][9] This property became known as the Pratt Farm and is located on what is now U.S. 340 near Northgate Avenue.[9]
