Baytown, Texas 77520.  Originally one of the Tri-Cities, far-eastern Harris County.  Area dates back to 1822 to the Nathaniel Lynch and William Scott Mexican land grants.  Common School District No. 15 (Cedar Bayou-Goose Creek) and Common School District No. 38 (Wooster) combined in 1919, to what is now called Goose Creek Consolidated ISD; the Highlands part of the Crosby CSD No. 17 was annexed into GCCISD in 1936.  During the 1800s there were at least nine different settlements either within or near the present city limit's.  These included Gaillard's Landing, at the mouth of Goose Creek, and Fairbanks, located on Duke Hill which overlooked the creek just north of the West Main bridge.  A trading post and post office named Bay Town, dates back to the 1860s, and is near the present-day Exxon docks. Evergreen was the plantation of Dr. Ashbel Smith, and was located in the area south of present Highway 146 east of Goose Creek Stream.  Bell Prairie was located in an area west of the Tri-City Beach Road, between it and Tabbs Bay, and was the home of Smith's cousin, Henry Gillette.  Bayland was on the west bank at the mouth of Goose Creek, and the site of the Orphans' Home and school.  Midway was established in 1822 and was also located near the present-day Exxon docks.  Cedar Bayou developed as a farming community by settlers who came as early as 1822. In 1947 the towns of Pelly and Goose Creek were consolidated with Baytown.  See The Heritage Edition, Part I 1822-1900 and Part II 1900-Today, published by THE BAYTOWN SUN, 24 & 31 Jan 1984; The History of Baytown, Margaret Swett Henson, Bay Area Historical Society, 1986.    501N

18. ARTHUR-HALE CEMETERY: 1853. 6 graves.  On Bayway Drive, on Exxon property, Baytown, Texas. On land originally owned by William Scott, this cemetery has been associated with the cemetery at Point Pleasant (qv). This seems doubtful as the son, G.W. Scott, sold 251 acres to J. F. Overland in 1848 with 100 acres of the land then passing to Mrs. G. M. Mitchell in 1867, and in turn 17 acres went to James Mitchell in 1869, explaining the alternate names of Overland Bay and Mitchell Bay.  The cemetery plot of 28 by 25 feet was conveyed in 1894 to Thomas and Hugh Arthur.  Two rows of graves: [top] Elizabeth Hale Sept 13, 1881 – July 8, 1895; Alexander Benjamin Hale Oct 20, 1807 – Sept 12, 1885 CSA; William C. Arthur b. 1816, KY – d. 1882 CSA. [second row] Josephine Arthur [wife of Hugh] born June 1, 1876, married July 17, 1890, died April 1, 1909; Mary E. Wise April 11, 1819 – June 27, 1853; Irine Arthur [dau of Hugh] born Mar 7, 1891 died June 28, 1894. Hugh Arthur remarried and moved to Morgan's Point. Alexander Benjamin Hale’s wife, Susannah Jane Guess/Guest, died ca. 1910 in Energy, Comanche County, Texas. See “19th Century Cemetery,” THE BAYTOWN SUN, 19 Feb 1976; “Industry surrounds graves,” THE BAYTOWN SUN, 30 Jan 1986; “Historic graveyard near docks,“ THE BAYTOWN SUN, 20 May 1990.  Exxon/Mobil dedicated a bronze plaque on March 2, 2001. “Preserving part of state’s history, Refinery tends to cemetery,” HOUSTON CHRONICLE 04 Sep 2001 (photograph).    500Y

21. BAKER CEMETERY:  Baytown; East Harris County, South of I-10, “end of” Baker Road which runs east to west from North Main to Bayway Drive. Unable to determine exact location.     500, 501

29.  BAYLAND ORPHANAGE CEMETERY.  Baytown TX.  The Orphanage was founded for children of deceased Confederate soldiers, chartered in 1866.  Texas patriot, Dr. Ashbel Smith (b. 1805 CT – 1886) was the first superintendent, followed by Henry Flavel Gillette (b. 1816 CT - 1896).  Historical Marker at the present-day site of Bayland Park off HWY 146 at the mouth of Goose Creek Stream.  A letter in the HMRC files from Louis van Meldert, Baytown, Texas, dated 25 May 1962 states "there was also a cemetery located nearby which has disappeared."  That statement is substantiated by an unpublished manuscript (presently being edited for publication by this compiler), which mentions this cemetery.  The Isenhour family from Minnesota purchased the property in 1897.  From a "List of Orphans at the Home from its Establishment to the Present Time" (1871) the following are shown as having died while at the home. No record has been uncovered that these graves were moved, and now there is no visible evidence of this little graveyard.       541E

Lynchburg, Texas, 1824-1930s, 22 miles NE of Houston, US 90, played an important part in Texas history.   Part of Austin’s Old Three Hundred, Nathaniel Lynch owned land on both sides of the San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou through a land grant from Mexico, established the town in 1822; land grant of August 19, 1824; granted exclusive privilege to operate ferry at this point on January 1, 1830, by the Ayuntamiento of San Felipe. He mapped out and built a townsite (platted and recorded Jun 1855 Vol. S, p. 139 Harris County Deed Records) named for himself, and operated Lynch’s Ferry (Lynchburg Ferry) that he established before 1824. Nothing more than a raft that carried only one buggy or wagon at a time – as a toll
