Every effort has been made to copy all tombstone inscriptions; however, many graves are marked only with metal markers (no longer readable), footstones, wooden stobs, rocks, or clumps of iris. All graves have been noted -- both those with or without tombstones. Those without inscriptions are included to assist those searching for gravestones -- which do not exist. They are noted as follows, example: McNEILL, James Hugh, Aug. 18, 1876 - Mar. 3, 1958 (2*) JOHNSON, W. T., 1897-1926 The figure within the parenthesis (2*) indicates that two graves without tombstone inscriptions lie between or near the graves of McNeill and Johnson. Perhaps they belong to members of these families. It was necessary to edit most of the inscriptions, i.e., abbreviate dates, omit verses, etc., but no information was omitted regarding the names on the stones, and relationships were included when it was at all possible. Sometimes a stone read "Father" on the stone itself, sometimes on the footstone. Every effort has been made to preserve such notations. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Port Sullivan Cemetery, Milam County, Texas The town of Port Sullivan was laid out by Augustus W. Sullivan around the year 1851 and lies north of the juncture of the Little and Brazos Rivers. It is considered the oldest cemetery in Milam County.* The cemetery is located 2.1 miles east of Branchville on Hwy. #190, taking the first gravel road on the left and proceeding 5 miles. The first cemetery on the left is a Negro Cemetery, and the second cemetery is on the right and is the Branchville Mexican Cemetery. The third cemetery is Port Sullivan Cemetery, and it is the one nearest the Brazos River. (Copied October 5, 1963) *Batte, "History of Milam County, Texas," p. 55.
