Wooster Family Cemetery

Address: Nature Center, Baytown, Baytown, TX 77520, USA

“The Wooster Family Cemetery was located at the end of Crow Road off of Mapleton Drive by Burnet Bay in Baytown. Part of the old Wooster community (town site). All thats left of Wooster is the Wooster School House in Baytown. Town of Wooster was laid out in 1892; In the late 1980's nothing was left of the cemetery. Subsidence had destroyed this cemetery. Several coffin handles have been found on the shoreline and at low tide the remains of a cement crypt could be seen. This Cemetery was part of the old Wooster community, at the end of what was Mapleton Drive in an area that later became a part of Brownwood Subdivision. 90% of Brownwood Subdivision was eventually destroyed by subsidence and the resultant flooding from Hurricanes Carla and Alicia. While some graves were relocated, not all could be and remained there. Now under water and part of the Baytown Nature Center, the cemetery was at the tip end of the peninsula with Scott's Bay on the east and Crystal Bay on the west. The tip can be reached using hiking trails that were once public streets in the subdivision. Several coffin handles have been found on the shoreline and at low tide the remains of a cement crypt could be seen at one point in time.”

Lynchburg Cemetery

Address: 861 Independence Pkwy N, Baytown, TX 77520, USA

“The Lynchburg Cemetery is one of the few remaining traces of the early town of Lynchburg, founded and named by Nathaniel Lynch, who arrived in the area in 1822 and received a Mexican land grant near the confluence of Buffalo Bayou and the San Jacinto River. The Lynchburg Cemetery, established on that land by 1834, was located outside the boundaries of Lynchburg until 1855, when the town was expanded from 40 to 71 blocks, and the one-acre cemetery became block 42, bounded by Sherman, Burleson and Hunt Streets. Travelers using Lynch’s Ferry passed the cemetery along the historic road that has served as the Eastern boundary of the cemetery since its creation. Lynchburg Cemetery is the oldest known burial ground associated with the historic community and is the resting place of many of its early residents, including pioneer settlers of the Republic and State of Texas, veterans of the Mexican War and Civil War, and their families and descendants. The oldest marked grave is that of A. B. Jones, who died in 1855. However, older burials exist, including that of Nathaniel Lynch (d. 1837) and his wife, Frances Hubert Lynch Hardin. Also buried here are some of the early Texas settlers who participated in the Runaway Scrape in April 1836, fleeing eastward ahead of the Mexican Army. Standing witness to the battle of San Jacinto, numerous hurricanes, and daily passing ferry riders, Lynchburg Cemetery persists as a silent reminder of an early Texas community, and serves as a record of this area’s settlers, shop keepers, tinsmiths, laborers, seamen, ship captains, judges, doctors, farmers and other citizens who came to a new land seeking opportunity.”
