DIRECTIONS: From Jasper take 190 west to the airport, turn left on Farm Road 777. Go five
and six-tenth miles Cemetery is on the left side of the road.Sarah (Sally) Grigsby
daughter of Joseph and Sarah Grigsby was married to Duke Glenn in Washington County
Kentucky in 1826. She and her family came to Texas with the Joseph Grigsby family
sometimes around 1830, and settled in Jasper County in the area of Beech Grove. Her
husband Duke Glenn died after having taken part in the Anahuac expedition in 1832.
Sometime before November 6, 1834, Sally as a widow and head of family received title to a
league of land. (Sally Glenn League, Abst. No. 14). About 1836 Sally Glenn married
Nathanel Allen and lived in a log house just east of the cemetery. The house still stands
and in enclosed in brick. Some say that the house was built by Enoch Grigsby, a brother of
Sally. R. M. Sanders lived near here and operated a store in front of the present house
until the 1880’s.
The pecan trees were planted here by Elizabeth Allen daughter of Sally and Nathienal and
the wife of R. M. Sanders. Bricks were also made on this property and were used in the
construction of the first phase of present courthouse in Jasper.
This cemetery became active in the 1870’s when the first marked graves were placed
here. D. M. and Kate Sanders Wigley gave land for the cemetery in 1931 to be used as a
neighborhood cemetery. In 1990 the cemetery was incorporated as a private cemetery. Kate
Sanders Wigley was the daughter of R. M. Sanders and Elizabeth Allen and a granddaughter
of Sally Glenn Allen. All are buried in the cemetery.
