LOCATION:  The McCauley Cemetery is six and 9/10ths miles from the 
San Augustine County Courthouse. Turn right on Farm Road #3017, 
(Harmony Road), go one and 3/10ths miles to the end of the pavement; 
go one and 8/10ths miles to the crossroads, take the left turn, and go 
3/10ths of a mile to the old McCauley home place. The cemetery is 
located about seventy-five yards NW of the McCauley home among some 
large oak trees. 

HISTORY: James McCauley, the son of Mathew McCauley, a native of 
Orange County, North Carolina, was born about 1807. The McCauley 
family came to San Augustine County from Tennessee and settled on 
Greer Hill, where he and his wife, Eliza, reared six sons and one 
daughter. He received a third class head right December 3, 1839. 
James McCauley and his wife, Eliza, born 1813 in North Carolina, were 
the first to be buried in the McCauley Cemetery. Bill McCauley built 
a log house near the cemetery and later moved to Center, Texas. Tom 
McCauley bought the log house when he came from west Texas in 1883. 
Bob McCauley, son of Tom, reared his family there until his death in 
1955. Tom served, and was wounded in the leg, in the Spanish-American 
War. The inscription on the Bill McCauley tombstone reads, "Doctor Bill 
McCauley and wife, Mary McCauley and family". It has a flat marker with 
a rock fence surrounding it. 

DATA: There are fifteen graves with monuments in this cemetery. Four 
graves are unmarked but their identities are known; three graves, 
marked with large stones, cannot be identified. On July 18, 1992, 
the grave of James McCauley was marked with a "Citizen of the Republic 
of Texas" medallion by the Sons of the Republic of Texas, Alexander 
Horton Chapter, San Augustine, Texas.
