THOMASON
/ THOMPSON CEMETERY OF NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TEXAS |
|
| |
Thomason Cemetery is located between Swift and Melrose off of
County Road 330 in Nacogdoches County, Texas.
It is on private property. There is a
bridge across a creek that is rotted out; it has an iron frame
work but the wood has to be replaced to get into the cemetery.
It has no fence around it and no one has been to it in many
years. Some stones are still standing but a grass fire got out
15 or 20 years ago and the wooden markers were destroyed. It is
located in the south east corner of a 400 acre strip the present
owner has for sale (August 2001). Fifty years ago it could have
been reached by a road out of Melrose; taking the Jamesville
Road to Cisro Kendrick's farm turn left and go to the Muckleroy
farm, come through the woods to the Walker place at Mt. Gillian.
The dirt road dead ends into the road from Swift to Jamesville,
Mountain and Black Jack. The information below came from the
Thompson family genealogy. Jane Hamil was a sister of Billie
Wingate's Great-grandmother Margaret Hamil Bentley. They are
also ancestors of Senator Roy Blake, Colonel Lynn T. Blake,
Bennett Blake and many of the Thompsons and Muckleroys of
Nacogdoches.
Contact Billie Wingate if
you wish to be part of a group trying to clean up this cemetery
and get CSA markers for the veterans interred here.
