Cynthia (Vick) Garlington (c. 1806)-1877), an unidentified laborer who worked for them, and
three others whose identities are unknown. This site is part of 320 acres that Benjamin received in 1857 as a bounty for his
service during the War of 1812, in which he was listed as a Private and musician in the Mississippi Militia. He later served this area
and adjacent parishes in Louisiana as a Primitive Baptist Minister. Concerned descendants have rallied to preserve and honor the memory
of this pioneer family of Newton County. Historic Texas Cemetery-2001
