Stafford's Lost Cemetery
William Stafford was a scout for Austin's "Old
Three Hundred" - the earliest settlers in Texas. He built a
plantation on his land grant and the settlement around it became
the town of Stafford Point.
During the Texas Revolution, Santa Anna camped
here while pursuing General Houston and his troops on the way to
San Jacinto and burned the plantation down. It was rebuilt after
the war and the town around it later became Stafford,
TX.
This field is the site of the original
plantation cemetery. A single marker has been established for the
family known to be buried in this, one of the oldest cemeteries in
Texas.
Cache is a regular container with a screw-top
lid. Assorted swag is included for trade
Good Luck!
