Morgan's Point Cemetery is located along Barbours Cut Boulevard across from Oaks St. and between the Longshoremen parking lot and the truck terminal. There is a paved road leading to the entrance and a small parking lot just for the cemetery.
"One of the oldest cemeteries in continuous use in Harris County, Colonel James Morgan, Texas revolutionary soldier, located on land bought by Morgan in 1834. It was part of the family estate called 'The Orange Grove.' The earliest marked grave here is that of James Morgan's niece, Sarah P. Morgan Patrick, who died of smallpox July 13 [sic], 1838. Morgan's wife, Celia Gordon Morgan, was buried in October 1840, a victim of tuberculosis. Colonel Morgan was buried here in March 1866. The Morgan family plot was at one time lined with handmade bricks and marked with a large tombstone bearing the names of family members. The stone disappeared and was found by fisherman years later submerged in the bay, stolen again after its replacement. It was never recovered. The cemetery, which had originally encompassed a much larger area, is surrounded by an industrial complex. The Morgan's Point Cemetery Association, formed in 1922, cared for the cemetery until the City of Morgan's Point assumed responsibility for the maintenance in 1965. A fence was built in 1968, and ordinances regarding care of the cemetery were passed in recent years."
Ghosts of Texas is a series of cemetery caches designed to be a little unique and to teach something about local history if it can. If you wish to add to the series please do so. Just name it Ghosts of Texas at the beginning of the title.
