From At Rest: A
Historical Directory of
Harris
County,
Texas,
Cemeteries (1822-2001) Including Burial Customs and Other Interesting
Facts, With a Listing of Past and Present Communities, Funeral Home and
Monument Companies. 1st Edition 1994; 2nd
Edition enlarged from 307 to 509 cross-indexed listings. Compiled by
Trevia Wooster Beverly (Tejas
Publications & Research, Houston, 2001).
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

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.

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.

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 crossing in 1834. The main part of the town was on the north side of
the river and had a store, an inn, and a sawmill. Many families camped
here during the Runaway Scrape of 1836. The Battleground side, a part of
Deer Park ISD, Lynchburg was once the nucleus of Common School District No.
14. Nathaniel Lynch died on February 14, 1837, but the town died slowly. The school
house burned down in 1930, but the state owned Lynchburg Ferry (qv) still
runs today.

379. POINT
PLEASANT CEMETERY: Family burial ground of the William
Scott family. Land originally owned by Scott
(organizer of the Lynchburg Volunteers of Texas Revolutionary fame), a
member of Austin’s 300 whose homestead, Point Pleasant, was established
prior to 1827 and located on Goose Creek between his upper and lower
leagues, near the present site of the Exxon Docks. It is
probably that Scott (d. 1837) and his wife, Mary Hannah (d. 1839) were
both buried here, as probably was a nephew, James S. Scott, Jr. who died
in Goose Creek (1845).
Jean La Delle Epperson, in her unpublished manuscript on William Scott
states “a family cemetery on Point
Pleasant (qv) but there are no tombstones and the cemetery’s
exact location is now lost.” A 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, and
then a small plot of 28 by 25 feet was conveyed in 1894 to Thomas and Hugh
Arthur for a burial ground. See
Arthur-Hale
Cemetery. There is a
Texas Historical marker for “Point
Pleasant, Homesite of William Scott” dedicated in 1990.

Lodge building still in continuous use in the state of Texas. The Lodge opened the bottom floor to be used as the
first public school in east Harris County, 1876-1911. Cedar Bayou Lodge has the oldest Eastern
Star Chapter in the state; Cedar Bayou Chapter No. 11 Order of the Eastern
Star received their Charter on May 17th, 1884. In 1970 on the 100th anniversary of the Lodge, a Texas Historical
Landmark was unveiled at the celebration.
