Please direct any answers to Joan Lewis-Osborne at jlo@myclearwave.net Eleanor Colson I am looking for African-American cemeteries in or near Navasota, TX. My great-great-grandparents died in and around Navasota in the 1920s and 30s and I am trying to locate possible grave sites. Unfortunately, none of my cousins living in Navasota and Houston have any idea where they are buried. I live in Minnesota and have not been able to travel down to Navasota to do any investigating. My great-great-grandfather, Jeff Jefferson, was a slave who lived in Grimes County and died there in 1923, his death certificate lists an undertaker, CA Dunavant, Navasota Texas and since he lived in the country it says "place of removal, City." So I assume he was buried in the City of Navasota and since he was a landowner and several of his children were fairly well off, I thought that he may have had a grave stone. If you know of any African-American cemeteries or African-American churches in Navasota with cemeteries I would love to have that information. I also intend to submit a family tree with names and birth and death dates to your site, much of my great-grandmothers family lived in Grimes and Washington Counties from the 1850s on, all were slaves and freedmen.
