"The tide of immigration swelled rapidly after the first settlers organized a stable from of government in Tennessee, and the Scotch-Irish from the Valley of Virginia, including the Moores, Wilsons, Rankins, and Magills, formed quite a colony in what is now Greene County, from the years 1775 to 1790. Timber Ridge Church was organized in 1786, by this colony, and named for the Timber Ridge Presbyterian Church in Virginia.

"A son of one of the charter members, Rev. William B. Rankin, said one of his earliest recollections of the old ‘Timber Ridge’ Church in Greene County was the sight of the Old Revolutionary soldier, James Magill, marching to his family pew, accompanied by his family of eight sons. They were noted singers, and their voices greatly swelled and enriched the service of praise."

-- Magill, Robert McCorkle, "Magill Family Record," Richmond, Virginia, R. E. Magill, Publisher, 1907, p. 22. mrl
