Blair Cemetery is SW of the Culpepper or Elizabeths Grove Cemetery near the Texas Power & Light plant and Valley Lake north of Savoy. So close to the county line its hard to tell if it is in Grayson County or Fannin County.

 Notes on an old plat, lists it as 4 miles north of Bell’s. It is noted that all the stones are gone now. I was there sometime between 1980-1985.

 

Suse, a slave of J.F. Blair is buried here according to an old plat also a ”slave of a neighbor’ and a stranger found dead in a house nearby.

 Old Plat By: W.O. Turner
