    Located at important junction of Atascosito Road and the San Felipe Trial, this homesite was established by James Tarrant and Sarah Smith Pattison on their land grant. Their plantation of 5,000 acres had its own grist mill, sawmill, and cotton gin. The first church and school in the community were founded through the efforts of Pattison. Town developed here before 1854 was named by a son, George Madison, for the original settler, James Tarrant Pattison (1810-72). Heirs still live here.
