Caperton Family Cemetery
Also known as Caperton-Perry-Thaxton Cemetery
Austin, Travis County, Texas, USA
When it was transcribed in March of 2007 by Ronnie & Suzanne Pitman, the Austin Genealogical Society had determined that there may be as many as 20 to 30 graves located in the immediate area.
This conclusion was made on the appearance of the topography; although only one gravestone, with two names thereon, had survived. The earliest death year inscribed was 1878.
The grounds are privately owned and located southeast of Austin at 8321 Thaxton Road. Access is not allowed without permission of the owner. Inquire locally - ownership may change.
The site is upon a bluff, near Thaxton Road and Colton Bluff Springs Road intersection, about ten miles south of the city limits of Austin, Travis County, Texas.
