Baucus Cemetery
Partial
Submitted by Ronald E Wade
Dr Benamin Franklin WILLIAMS received his medical degree from Augusta University, Augusta, Ga. and St. Louis (Missouri) Medical College.
This location was once near the Plantation of Bryant A. Baugus and "Baucus" is a misspelling of this last name. Baugus was born in 1812 in Maury, Tennessee the son of Bryant Bauguess (1780 Loudoun, Va. – 1835 Shelby, Tn.). He married on 13 Mar 1844 in Hardin, Tn. to Lyden Ann Minter (1828 – 1860) and their children were Peter M. Baugus (1845 – 1914), James A. Baugus (1846 – 1929), F. A. Baugus (1849 – ), John Baugus (1850 – ), and Hettie A. Baugus (1852 - ). Their son James A. Baugus is buried in this cemetery and others of the family are probably buried in the cemetery as well but their markers have probably sunk into the ground or faded or disappeared through the past century. It is known that the cemetery is also located next to the site of an old church where the family may have attended including the Williams and Black families whom were related to each other but apparently not to the Baugus family. In 1860 Bryant Baugus owned 29 Slaves on the Texas Slaves Census age 4 mos. to 36 years old and many slaves are believed buried in this cemetery as well.
Some internments listed here are from the 1930's C.C.C. inventory and their headstones are no longer readable or missing completely.

Same name as cemetery. The date 1928 and 1929 is suspicious as this is probably James A. Baugus, son of the owner of the land of the original cememetery land. He was born in 1846 in Tennessee. This date comes from a Civilian Conservation Corps book dated 1936 listings for the cemetery but all other burials are much older and this tombstone is no longer visible as of 2009. The name "Baucus" probably is a misspelling of "Baugus," which is the name of the family that owned much of this area in the 1850-1880 time period. |
