It is reported that he came to Texas from South Carolina in 1838. When Lawrence and Sue Dale visited the cemetery in May 2014, they reported that the land in the area has all been bought by a Mr. Davis. The county road signs have been removed from CR 13570 so it is reverting to a farm lane.

The following persons are known to be buried here: Infant Brown, James Hefflefinger, Mr. & Mrs. Jackson, Art Pollard, (all the preceeding births and deaths are not known), Charles Chesley Worthington 22 Mar 1797 - 22 Mar 1859, Frances Chandler Worthington 10 Jan 1801 - 3 Feb 1864.
