Bradyville is a village 11 miles southeast of Woodbury. 
It is about three miles from the original Sagely House. 
In 1806, Rutherford County built a road from Cripple 
Creek up the East Fork of Stones River to Hugh P. 
Brawleys mill on the Indian boundary line. Somewhat 
latter, it had another mill, run by Slias Patton, and a 
school. By the middle 1800's, the village and it's 
environs had 6 blacksmiths, 4 merchants, a wheelwright, 
two millers, and one of the largest schools in the 
County. The village saw considerable activity during 
the Civil War, being one of the strategic points in the 
Confederate line of defense while the Confederate army 
was encamped at Tullahoma in 1863. Skirmishes were 
fought there on February 16, March 1, and June 24 in 
1863.
