Harry Family Cemetery
Brenham, Washington County, Texas, USA
Research of property deeds states that Margaret R Jameson and Margaret Gray, descendants of Isaac Jameson, conveyed 150 acres to Mr JBT Harry on 1 November 1856, and that said tract of land being part of the League of Land granted Isaac Jameson as a colonist, by the Mexican Government [Deed recorded in Book P Page 17, Deed Records of Washington County].
Subsequently, part of this land had been deeded to son Jesse M Harry. At Jessie's death it was stated in his "Last Will and Testament" that the space previously used for burial of family members be marked and preserved as the family graveyard. The will states as follows: "The two tracts of land herein before described constituted the homestead of said JM Harry at the time of his death on Nov 8th, 1925, and in keeping with the will of said JM Harry, I hereby reserve out of this conveyance the family graveyard located on said homestead consisting of about one-forth of an acre of land in a square shape as near as the graves thereon and the lay of the land will permit."
Even though ownership of this property has changed over the years, the one-forth acre clause has remained a part of each deed.
