Andrew Crocket, Samuel's father, received a 640 acre grant for Revolutionary War services. He built his first log home on the southeast side of what is now Brentwood in 1799. His son, Samuel Crockett built a two-story brick home nearby, which was completed ca. 1808. The home became known as "Forge Seat" because of the iron forge located on the property. Samuel Crockett and his son, Andrew, made iron implements here and specialized in rifle making. Crockett's rifles "were identified by their fine craftsmanship and the initials 'S. & A. C.' engraved on the barrels."〔Williamson County Historical Society Marker-1993〕 On his way to New Orleans and the War of 1812, Andrew Jackson stopped here and purchased rifles to arm his soldiers. It is also said that Davy Crockett stopped on his way to Texas as well.〔https://brentwood-tn.org/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=403〕
