Carrollton Black Cemetery

Established in the late 1800's by Scott Boswell, an early African-American farmer, this cemetery remained in use for many years under later owners who respected the site, with burials continuing until the last known interment, believed to have been Collins, in 1960. Flooding by the Trinity River contributed to the loss of most of the markers. Families interred here include Allen, Boswell, Booth, Bradley, Cole, Davis, Foster, Harris, Hicks, Hunnicutt, Ingram, Jackson, Loving, Oliver, Patterson, Payton, Purvis, Silverburg, Welch, and Williams.
