Carrollton Historic Site
CARROLLTON BLACK CEMETERY
This cemetery was established in the late 1800's by Scott Boswell, an early African-American farmer. Later owners respected the site and burials continued through the years, the last of which is believed to have been Collins. In 1960, flooding at the Trinity River has contributed to the loss of most of the markers. Families interred here include Allen, Boswell, Booth, Bradley, Cole, Davis, Foster, Harris, Hicks, Hunnicutt, Ingram, Jackson, Loving, Oliver, Patterson, Payton, Purvis, Silverburg, Welch and Williams.
DESIGNATED HISTORIC ON MARCH 18, 1997.
NOTE:
Most if not all of the markers in this cemetery are marked with wooden white crosses. There is another historic marker which lists the names of those known to be interred in this cemetery.
