San Augustine County, Texas

The Cradle of Texas Independence

Chapel Hill Cemetery

Indexed in 2013 by Nancy and Karen Mills.

 

Location:  7.5 miles east of San Augustine on Hwy 21.  On a high hill to the left.

 

This is the site of the first Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Texas.  It was organized in the home of Rev. Sumner Bacon in 1837.  The first building was erected nearby in 1841 and replaced in 1850.  Between 1900-1912 a Methodist Episcopal Church was constructed in 1937.  The Chapel Hill Church and Cemetery is situated on 2.2 acres of land which was part of 200 acres cut from an original 875 tract of land (abstract #26) belonging to Patsy Lewis, who deeded the 200 acres to one of her daughters, Precious Blankenship, on 18 April 1837, who in turn sold to Sumner Bacon, 6 July 1837.  Rev. Bacon and his wife established their home near where the present day Chapel Hill Cemetery now stands.  Sumner Bacon died in 1844 and was buried in their family cemetery.  His widow Mrs. Elizabeth (McKerall) Bacon, sold the acreage on 5 March 1858 to James Alvis Johnson who in turn sold to E. A. and S. W. Blount, and they sold to B. B. Fussell who sold 2.2 to the trustees of the Chapel Hill Methodist Episcopal Church 23 January 1912.
