  • Tennessees Greatest Stud Belle Meade
    TENNESSEE'S GREATEST STUD--BELLE MEADE WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, II With all the political, social, and economic ties between Ken- tucky and Tennessee• it seems normal that Belle Meade, Tennes- see's greatest stud farm, had close Kentucky connections. The Belle Meade Plantation began in 1807 when John Harding bought 250 acres of land and an old station located six miles southwest of Nashville on the Natchez Road. This trail, which had long been used by the Indians, was a route for boatmen, mail carriers, preachers, soldiers, and settlers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky on the north and Natchez on the south. Harding was one of those tough farmers who periodically took slaves and produce on flatboats down the rivers to Natchez and New Orleans. The Belle Meade Stud dates to 1816 when the imported stal- lion Boaster stood at John Harding's. By the end of the decade such prominent Tennesseans as Sam Houston and Felix Grundy were boarding horses and ponies there. Grundy had moved to Nashville a few years earlier from Kentucky, where he had been chief justice of the state's supreme court. During the 1820s imp. [imported] Eagle, imp. Bagdad, and Sir Archy, Jr., stood at Harding's stable. 1 In the 1830s Harding's interests turned to cotton plantations in Louisiana and Arkansas. Accordingly, near the end of the decade he turned responsibility for managing Belle Meade over to his thirty-two-year-old son, William Giles Harding. The young- er Harding, who was already a brigadier general in the Tennes- WILLIAM RIDLEY WILLS, B.A., has served as president of the Tennessee Historical Society and is currently a trustee of Vanderbilt University.
