ANDERSON-ELLIS CEMETERY

Link to photo's - off site location

Located east of Crockett on FM 1280 one mile past Friday, Trinity Co. TX but originally in Houston Co., TX; turn left at sign. Land was given by Mrs. Frances Ellis Brent, out of her inheritance from her parents, Benjamin B. and Arritta Ellis. The cemetery is kept up by descendants, and public donations.  A slave is believed to be the first buried there, although the earliest marker is that of Benjamin B. Ellis, dated 1867.

Updated 1985 by J. Woody Hambrick, Mrs. L. H. (Elsie Barron) Monzingo, a great niece of Frances Ellis Brent; and Mrs. Carroll (Carrie) Anderson, wife of Carroll Anderson, great nephew of Frances Ellis Brent.

Very few markers remain. These are known to be buried here:
