In 1838 Bradford Davis from Mississippi settled in Houston County. He farmed, hunted bees and was killed by Indians as he checked bee bait. His sons John A. (1825-1888), Bradford (1831-1886) and James Jones (1836-1888) and many family slaves are buried here. John A. married Isabella Wingate (1829-1886). He was a farmer, gin operator, merchant, and shipped goods down the Trinity River. Their children were Bradford, James F., Samuel, Laura Irene McCrory, and Addie. James Jones taught at Bumpover (now Rock Hill) and married Mary H. Murchison (1836-1910). Their children were George and Laura.
