I have listed and keep a database on the
Oak Hill and Peck cemeteries located in Goliad, Goliad County, Texas.
These listings can be seen on various web sites or on my web page
which is located at the following address. The Warner T Denham Web Site I make trips to Goliad as often as possible to update these listings. Tom

We had a "grave-marking" Sat. 11/4/00 for 8 pioneer Fayette County citizens. One had a Veteran of the Texas Revolution medallions. The other 7 had Citizens' medallions. We had to install new tombstones for all except 2 who shared one tombstone. The medallions were put on that one The cemeteries were: Old Plum Grove/Criswell cemetery which was started during 1820's and Woods Prairie near Woods Fort which also may have been started during 1820's. Both cemeteries were surveyed many years ago, although there were unmarked graves even then. Both now need much restoration and families must understand that those old tombstones of sandstone or wood, just do not last forever. Descendants sometimes have to break-down and buy new ones. Fayette County is so fortunate that we have had fine cemetery historians active here for the past 30-40 years or longer. The library has a complete file of those which have been surveyed and includes most of the oldest and most historic cemeteries. Just thought you would like to know. Jo White

I try and take my digital camera when I go survey cemeteries, therefore, the online pictures. I have a realtors map that has a lot of cemeteries marked, so I check them off as I go. The master database is a few years of work, collecting death information as I get it. Completed surveys are put on the rootsweb archives, which I'm behind on. I know what it is like to not be able to go out of town to a cemetery of my ancestors and the joy of finding an online listing for a cemetery with a direct line ancestor's information. This is my way of giving back to those that have given.

Hi, I recently went out to Kimble
County, near Junction, to the Wooten Cemetery. I was looking for
the grave of a gggg-grandmother, Jincy Lee Wooten. The cemetery
held mostly unmarked graves (marked with only wooden crosses), so she
may be buried there, but there was no marker showing her name.
While I was there, I went ahead and listed all of the names and dates
that I could, and took pictures. The only information on the
Internet that I had been able to find on this cemetery just stated its
location and the caption on the Texas Historical Marker posted at the
gate. I am going to try and publish this information through thr
Texas Tombstone Project. Wooten Cemetery, 10 - 12 miles o US Hwy. 377 on your right (clearly
marked), south of Junction in Kimble County |
