Patti I just got in from Limestone Co. & think I may have some on this family but will have to check to make sure it is the same George Sanders. I have a Sanders family that was in the Oletha area in the very early teens that had a grown son by the name of George Sander & he had a sister that married a Brown. These would be the children of T Fowler Sanders buried in Ft Parker Cem. in Limestone Co. TX.

I have Joseph Ferguson's will but it was after all wives were dead & some children. I have many of his deeds but feel sure that since this was a family cemetery that it was never set aside as a cemetery on the original deed. He gave much of his land to his children including my GGGrandmother. I feel that he probably thought the land the cemetery is on would stay in the family & there was no need to set it aside as a cemetery on the deed. I am also sure he never dreamed of the things that go on today could happen to a cemetery of any kind.
