Phillip Nolan was born in Ireland, first came to Texas, and established residence at Nacogdoches in 1791. When he was killed by the Spaniards near this site on March 21, 1801, he was a resident of Natchez, Miss. He was buried here by his Negro slaves Caesar and Robert. Nolan's death aroused a wave of indignation that led to the Independence of Texas.
