| Marker Text |
Arriving in Texas in December 1834, Robert S. Patton (1816-1864) received a land grant and was among Houston County's earliest settlers. He married Louisa J. Conner (1827-1878) in 1838. They were the parents of thirteen children, six of whom are buried in this family graveyard. The oldest marked grave is that of W.W. Warren (1801-1860), a relative of Louisa Patton. In addition to the family members, the cemetery also contains the grave of a Patton family slave. The last burial occurred here in 1898. |
