Fort Donnally Siege and Early Greenbrier Strife
The Greenbrier county region endured siege era clashes as Indians attacked Fort Randolph in 1778 and later fought near Fort Donnally. Volunteers led by Lt McKee and scout riders John Prior and Philip Hammond aided settlers while Captain Stuart and Col. Lewis defended the fort. Hostilities waned by 1780, with Greenbrier Baptist church forming in 1781 and later stone church work continuing near the same site.
