Brown Cemetery
Kosse, Limestone County, Texas, USA
Directions: 1.5 mile N of Kosse on SH 14
The Brown Family Cemetery traces its origin to the settlement of North Carolina native Ervin Brown (1801-1875) and his wife Matilda (1807-1871) in Washington County, Texas, in 1846. Ervin and Matilda moved their family to a 1600-acre farm in Limestone County near the community of Eutaw in 1857. Ervin was a charter member of the Eutaw Masonic Lodge in 1859. Ervin and Matilda Burdette Brown, both natives of South Carolina, moved to Limestone County in 1857 and settled at Pillow Point. Before coming to Texas in 1847, the family lived in Jasper Co., GA. Elizabeth Frances Brown, their daughter, and her husband, Harrison Bryant, moved about the same time and bought land between the Polk and Brown holdings. This family played an important role in the development of Texas. T. J. (Thomas Jefferson, son of Ervin & Matilda) Brown was a one time the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas; Capt. J. P. (James Petty) Brown was commander of a company of Limestone volunteers in the Confederate Army (the Eutaw Blues); Ervin F. Brown was a prominent attorney in North Texas; and one daughter married Zacharia Morrell, the Baptist historian and early Texas pioneer. Ervin and James Petty Brown were members of the Masonic Lodge at Eutaw (#233), chartered on June 13, 1859. A company known as the Eutaw Blues was organized at Eutaw. It was mustered into service at Camp Beauregard with Anson F. Moss as Captain and A. H. McDaniel, J. R. Adams, and J. P. Brown as lieutenants. It became known as Co. K of the 12th Texas Cavalry.
