In 1833, on the recommendation of his son, Albert, who had recently visited the area, moved part of his family from Tennessee to the Red River and settled at Pecan Point. He was accompanied by his son-in-law, James W. Dickson, and by Robert S. Hamilton and others who became leading citizens of Red River County. They settled about four miles east of Clarksville and called their community Shiloh, after their previous residence in Tennessee. The name was later changed to Madras.
