Plaster- Ross Cemetery is located in north Grimes County, 4 miles north of Bedias. The first burial there was in 1835. A young slave. My great grandfather brought his mother and family to Texas to join Sam Houston's rag-tag army. He was at the battle of San Jacinto manning one of the twin sisters. His name was Thomas Pliny Plaster.
This is a pre-Texas cemetery. Two slaves were buried here in the winter of 1835. Thomas P. Plaster's family held a Mexican grant and he was at the battle of San Jacinto, manning one or the cannons. His Mother, Margaret, was buried in this cemetery on July 4, 1844. There are forty-five marked graves and seven or more unmarked. It is located about three miles north of Bedias, Grimes County, Texas off State 90 and County 142 about on mile in Will D. Smith's private property across Sims Creek. In 1985, the Plaster-Ross Reunion Association was formed to promote family unity and to care for this Historic Cemetery. V. C. Robinson and wife Sue Ross, erected a Texas memorial plaque to Thomas Plaster who is buried in Austin, Texas: C. Shack Ross, killed in Italy WW11: Tommie E. Ross died captive in Korea. President and Coordinator, Ruby Ross Bowman: 6003 Deepwood, Houston, Texas 77023. V. S. & Sue Robinson, treasury and maintenance: Paul & Mildred Brum, Lance Salge, secretary and bookkeeper.
