Porter's Chapel Cemetery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Located West of Randolph and north of highway 11, signs direct you to it. This cemetery is one of the older ones in the county.
It used to be surrounded by a School and Church and was the center of Community activites such as singings and picnics.
This from Deanne Barker:
"The Scott and the Browns who are my relatives buried there brought their slaves from Georgia when they came to Texas.
They lived in houses on their property in Orangeville and when theydied they were buried in the same cemetery as the Scotts
and Browns marked with Bois d arc stumps. I can remember going there as a child in the 70's and seeing them over in one corner."
"One of Jane Scott's children was the first buried in Porters. Jane and her children left Georgia in 1851 for Texas and settled in
Orangeville." "Her sister Elizabeth Lathers is also buried at Porters."
