At this cemetery a marker reads: "In 1850, Mordello Stephen Munson (born in Liberty County in 1825)-- son of Henry William Munson (born 1793), a member of Austin's colony-- set aside this burial tract for his family and friends. It was at Ridgely Plantation, on Bailey's Prairie."
Another marker reads: "Established in 1818 as an individual claim by James Briton Bailey, a member later of Austin's colony. Born 1779, Bailey was tall, fearless, of Irish stock. At his request, he was buried (1833) standing up, facing west, gun at side. His restless ghost is said to walk this prairie." (Note: Apparently no one knows exactly WHERE Bailey is buried.)
Also buried here is Catherine Munson Foster, the author of "Ghosts Along the Brazos". Good luck!
