James Robertson helped established the association that is in what modern-day town?
James Robertson (explorer) James Robertson (June 28, 1742 – September 1, 1814) was an American explorer, soldier and Indian agent, and one of the founding fathers of the State of Tennessee. An early companion of explorer Daniel Boone, Robertson helped establish the Watauga Association in the early 1770s, and helped defend Fort Watauga from an attack by the Cherokees in 1776. In 1779, he cofounded what is now Nashville, and was instrumental in the settlement of Middle Tennessee. He served as a brigadier general in the Southwest Territory militia in the early 1790s.
James Davies (Baptist minister) James Davies (1767? – 16 May 1860) was a Welsh baptist minister from Clydey, Pembrokeshire. As a boy he attended school in Carmarthen, and services at Pant Teg Church (Newcastle Emlyn). By 1793 he was living in the Ffynnonhenry area, and was ordained minister there in 1794, and also at Horeb church, Rhydargaeau. However, during the schism of 1799 the two churches parted company, Ffynnonhenry remaining Calvinistic, and Rhydargaeau becoming a General Baptist church under Davies's charge.
