LEE CEMETERY
Roxton, Lamar County, Texas

This has been an on-going project for about fifteen years.
For this reason, and the fact that we had little information at
the beginning, I have gone into some detail regarding the
research and restoration, so that others may have some idea about
the various sources, and be assured that we have done rather
thorough research in order to collect as much proof as possible.
We hope that any who are interested in Lee Cemetery will contact
us and share their family histories. Additions & corrections to
this page certainly will be appreciated. For information, you may
contact Jean & George Caddel (geocad@aol.com) or Alice Murphy
(acmurphy1@juno.com) Plats available from geocad@aol.com

Lee Cemetery is located southwest of Roxton (once called Prairie
Mount), Lamar County, Texas. This cemetery had been abandoned
for many years and most of the stones were broken, scattered, and
buried under large fallen trees, and head high underbrush, many
up to a foot underground, with only 17 graves known to be there
when we first started searching. At least half of the first 17
we knew to be members of George Caddel's great-grandparents'
families, which was all the catalyst we needed to keep searching
for ways to accomplish the monumental task of restoring this
historical site. The earliest date inscribed is 1831.

A number of years were spent in clearing, probing, searching for
lost stones, fitting scattered pieces of stones together as close
to the original spot as could be determined, and copying all
inscriptions that were legible. Part of this was accomplished
through the hour upon hour of research in the court house,
archives, and library, knocking doors of the community looking
for information, and researching the history of southwest Lamar
County in order to put together some of the facts. We needed to
know just who all of these people were in order to find other
descendants who were interested in the cemetery before we could
even begin restoration. A few years later, some others began
their own search, but none of us were aware of the other for
several years. The cemetery was growing larger and larger each
day, and seemed it might be a hopeless cause. The various
groups that were going out to this cemetery were pondering, "What
could be done?" Finally we made contact in 1990, scheduled our
first meeting, and formed a Cemetery Association within the next
year. We also began clearing and clean-up so that we could
determine the size of the plot, eventually built a fence with an
entry and sign, a storage house with mowers and tools, have all
known stones restored, with nearly one hundred of those
identified, have a general fund for immediate expenses, and a
fund started to insure permanent care in the future. To date,
there are 133 marked graves, and another one or two are found
each time we have a work day, which is twice a year - the last
Saturday in April, and the last Saturday in September. We are
now in the process of registering the cemetery as a Texas State
Historical Site, and hope to have a Historical Marker by
September of next year, 1999.

The cemetery is located on the John H. Fowler Survey, which is
about 4 miles southwest of Roxton. Betsy Woodson & Eleaser
Barnett of Kentucky had one son Eli Barnett, before Eleaser died
in Kentucky ca 1816. She was left with several of his children
plus her own son, and married Thomas J. Denton when Eli was about
nine years old. Soon afterward, ca 1819, they headed for Pecan
Point on the Red River, located in what was then old Miller Co.,
Arkansas, arriving in 1823. Thomas J. died in early 1825, and
Betsy married another early settler, John H. Fowler about 1825,
but she only lived about two years after that. In 1827, the
settlers were driven from the area north of the Red River, and
the southern half of the county remained as a part of the
Territory of Arkansas, but most of the settlers aligned
themselves with Mexico as residents of the Province of Texas,
State of Coahuilla. They signed the Wavel Colony register, and
tried to insure ownership of their property on the south side of
the Red River. Some even paid taxes to both Arkansas and the
Mexican government, and later to the Republic of Texas. Eli
Barnett, now about 20 years of age, chose to remain with some of
the old settlers opposite the Kiamichi river, while Fowler took
one of the Arkansas land grants. John Woodson Denton, son of
Thomas J. & Betsy Woodson Barnett Denton, is believed to have
gone with his step father, John Fowler, but returned soon at the
age of about ten to look after a herd of cattle for Eli Barnett,
his half brother.

There is some evidence that some ventured farther west, even as
far as what is now the Bonham, Fannin County area, on hunting
trips and other occasions. The eastern part of what is now Lamar
County began to be more thickly settled about 1833, but the west
was still very dangerous. However, white settlers soon began to
move into the Prairie Mount (Roxton) area, and John Fowler moved
back to Texas in 1834. He, Eli Barnett, Jacob & Isaac Lyday,
Jesse & Eli Shelton, and others put claims on land sometime
between 1844 and 1837. Shelton established a fort southeast of
Roxton in 1837, Eli Barnett chose a tributary of the North
Sulphur near Cane Creek, and John W. Denton built a cabin in the
northwest section of this survey about where the Roxton School is
today. It is thought that he drove cattle to Barnett's place as
early as 1833. Fort Lyday, which was almost to the Fannin County
line, eight miles southwest of Roxton, was built in 1836 to help
protect the settlers from Indians. One Daniel Davis was scalped
by the Indians when he left the fort to go to his land in the
southeaster part of Fannin Co., near the town of Ladonia. His
son, Andrew, was left to be raised by his stepmother, of whom he
was very fond, but he soon began going out on his own. He became
a Methodist minister and he and his wife both died in Ellis
County, Texas.

By 1842, the Indians were no longer a threat to the farmers of
western Lamar County, and many settlers began to come into the
area, including Simon Derrick, who first came to the Red River
area in 1839, claimed land first in 1841, Titus County, then in
Hopkins County, and Lamar County. The last Simon Derrick survey
he acquired is on the North Branch of the Sulphur River, just
below the John H. Fowler survey and he evidently died. In
1843-4, he built nine miles of the National Road, for which he
received 999 acres of land in north Hopkins County. This road
was cut through Lamar Co. in the area from just south of Ft.
Lyday to the Paris area, and continued to a point on the river in
Red River County. Some Historians say it was never built, and
perhaps it was not finished, but, at least nine miles was
completed by 1844. Later most of his children came from Alabama
to join him in the Lamar-Delta-Hopkins County area.
Other settlers who had family buried in this cemetery were Andrew
J. Davis (one of three Davis families who came to the area), the
Denton family & their relations, James C. McAmis, who came from
Tennessee in 1845, the Ragsdale, Bryant & Laird families. By the
1850's and 60's, many more began to find their way to southwest
Lamar County, including the McDaniels, Canadas, Carliles, and
Herbert Lee, who reserved in his will one acre for the cemetery,
which was already in use. Through the years, the Lee Cemetery
outgrew its bounds and now consists of about four acres. Only a
few were buried here after 1910, and the latest know date is
1914.

The cemetery is in the center of a remote field. At the request
of the owner and the Cemetery Association, the gate is kept
locked; however, descendants and other interested parties may
gain entrance by contacting one of the above numbers for information.
Also, information on the cemetery is available at the Genealogy
Library in Paris, Texas. To reach the cemetery, take Hwy 38
southwest from Roxton toward Ben Franklin past Restland Cemetery
on the right. Immediately after crossing the first bridge after
Restland, turn right on Rd. 26310 & follow to the red brick house
on the right. Make jog around house and continue to the next
road at an abandoned white house. Turn right and follow road to
a dead end into Rd. 26300, again turn right and follow 26300 to a
left turn, which takes you to the gate by a barn. This is where
you enter the pasture. After entering the gate, follow the
private trail across the dam of a small lake on the left, and the
cemetery is located about .4 mile from the gate in a grove of
trees that can be seen on the crest of the hill.

FLAT SLAB OVER UNDERGROUND VAULT - Center of South Side
(According to an "old timer" of the area, there were
descending steps with two markers in the vault; however, through
the years, it has filled with dirt, and all stones and steps are
completely deteriorated with the exception of the cedar poles
supporting the top slab. Some have thought the crypt might be
for Herbert Lee, who died ca 1865, and his 2nd wife; however, we
have found no documents or proof. One other possibility we have
thought of is Simon Derrick, since it is between plots of two of
his sons, and he died here about 1867 - again no proof.)
