History
16
Hitch Cemetery was once part of a large farm owned by Kentucky native William Henry Hitch (1818-1893), who brought his family there from Tennessee in 1855. The oldest grave in the cemetery is that of Haden T. Hitch (1846-1858), son of William H. and Esther Hitch. Along with the graves of Hitch family members, the graveyard also contains the burials of relatives in the Trigg, Liggett, and Martin families, all of whom had moved to Texas at the urging of William H. Hitch. The cemetery remains a visible reminder of those early pioneers.
