Along with Ebenezer Baptist Church, this cemetery organized in 1854 on land donated by Jonathan and Sarah McGary along a stagecoach road from Huntsville to Austin. Prominent Baptist minister J.W.D. Creath, representing the Southern Baptist Convention, organized the church. Richard Pace was the first pastor of the congregation and is buried here. The earliest marked grave in 1855 established this as a family cemetery. The congregation disbanded and the church reorganized in the West Sandy area. Among those buried here are first families and citizens of the Republic of Texas and veterans of conflicts dating to the Civil War. The Ebenezer Memorial Association, incorporated in 1986, continues to care for this family burial ground. Historic Texas Cemetery – 2005
