In about 1833 Maj. Gray began running stage lines through the
county. At the crossing of Elkton and Clarksville road with the
Gallatin road, he put up a large hotel, and stables for the
accommodation of guests, as some six lines all centered there. To
this point he gave the name of Graysville. Besides the inn there
were two or three stores there. John Brown and Thomas Allison both
kept stores there, as well as James Brown, Ross Perkins and James
Brenan. The stage lines only kept up a few years and then ceased
running, and from that time the hamlet ran down. At present the
hotel is occupied by several families of Negroes, the rest of the
buildings have gone to rack and ruin, and one blacksmith shop is all
that reminds one of the old town.
