1835: Texas Historical Marker #5126, Stockton Family Cemetery, Bartlett, Williamson County, Texas, erected 1991
From Bartlett, take CR 487 NW (also Harold Clark Road) to junction with Stockton Road (cemetery is on NE corner).

The Stockton Family Cemetery is located on land originally granted in 1859 by Texas governor Hardin R. Runnels to Moses Allen, a veteran of the Siege of Bexar. Douglas Hayden Stockton and his wife Mary Elizabeth (White) brought their family to Bell County in 1870. With partner J.O. Darby, the Stocktons purchased over 1,200 acres of the Moses Allen land grant that year. The Stocktons soon built a residence near this site. This cemetery was established in April 1890 upon the death of the Stocktons' fifteen-year-old son, Simion Carothers Stockton. Years later, on December 15, 1908, Douglas and Mary Elizabeth Stokton legally designated this property as a family cemetery. The cemetery, which contains over eighty graves and is still in use by the Stocktons' descendants, documents over one hundred years of family history. Those interred here include Douglas and Mary Elizabeth Stockton and twelve of their fourteen children; Ead White, a former slave who remained with the family after the Civil War; numerous children and infants; and three family members who drowned in a hurricane in Corpus Christi in 1919.

1837: Louisiana Legislation - Creation of the Greensburg Female Institute

In the Louisiana legislative session of 1838, the Greensburg Female Institute was created. The trustees charged with operating the institute were: Thosmas Webb, Alexander Thompson, John Burton, John Corkern, Stanly N. Viers, Shepherd B. Draughan and Jefferson Lea. The state appropriated $1000 with the provision that ten students should be educated free. A year later the state appropriated an additional $1500 for an additional 15 state scholars. On January 2, 1840 the board acquired seven acres, "a spot of natural beauty, a knoll of towering oaks and sweet gums, approached through a tree-lined vista sixty feet wide and then sloping gently down to the beech-fringed banks of Joseph's Brandh through a wooded avenue thirty feet wide, secluded, yet accessible." Construction began in the spring of 1840 on what was remembered as a "long, single-storied building." The building was ready for occupancy in August of 1840. Among the recorded items of furniture were one double bedstead (probably for the teacher's room); 12 single bedsteads; 7 dressing tables; 20 chairs; 22 sheets; 20 towels and one dozen fine combs.

Notes. Shepherd Draughan is the husband of Nancy Allen (daughter of Nathaniel Allen and Penelope Williams).
