Background: This is the family cemetery for Coleman Talley & Julia Ann Orand who married 22 Aug 1847 in Wilson Co., TN and lived in Cannon Co., TN before moving to Freestone County, TX. Coleman appears in the 1880 census with his wife and two laborers. The Talley cemetery was on Coleman's parcel.

Isaac Whatley and Malissa Helen (Talley) Horton appear in the 1880 census and their son is buried here.

Margaret Amanda Sharp was the sister of Julia Ann Orand Talley and Mr. Raleigh Orand. Margaret was a widow with three daughters that left Rutherford Co., TN to join her family in Freestone County, TX.

The Talley family had a lumber mill (called C. & H. N. Talley Lumber) in the late 1880s which made posts that surrounded the county court house.
