History
David Hutcheson McFadin (1816-1896), a Tennessee native, fought at San Jacinto and in 1846 settled with the Dyches family along the San Gabriel River in what became Williamson County. He signed the petition to organize the county and served twelve years as one of its first commissioners. The native-stone house he built with his wife Jerusha Dyches near Circleville about 1850 is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
