Elliott Cemetery, Grayson Co. Cemeteries of Tx Gloria B. Mayfield

Born in Wilson County, Tennessee, George Washington Smith came to Texas in 1834 with his wife Eliza Briggs. He fought in the Texas War for Independence (1835-36) as a private in Capt. Clendennin's Company, 1st regiment artillery. In the Mexican War (1846-48), he served as a sergeant in Company K, 1st regiment of the Texas Rangers under Col. John Coffee (Jack) Hays. The Smith family settled in Collin County in 1852. When Smith died about 1876, he was buried near the entrance of the present Blue Ridge Cemetery. Later, his grave was moved to the Grounds Cemetery (1.25 miles Northwest) 1979

Directions: Travel North or South on State Hwy 75. Take the Van Alstyne exit, turning west onto Hwy 121. Drive approximately 6 miles on W121.

There are some burials marked by a cement block, tombstone base, wooden stake, etc. The cemetery has been transcribed in the order of burials to retain family relationships. “Vacant Spaces” only indicate that there is not a marker to identify a burial. One way to determine if there is a burial marked “vacant space” is to use the method of dowsing which can determine age, gender, height.
