A Texas Historical Marker at the Hall Cemetery in Houston County, Texas indicates that the earliest marked grave is that of this Mary A. Sharp (1843-1876). The marker is located on FM 229, 10.9 miles NW of Crockett. According to her daughter, Ida Mae . . . "My mother, Mary Alexandrien Lamar Sharp . . . was of French extraction, but I know nothing about her family history, except that she owned land on the Robeson Survey, Liberty County, Texas, and I still own my inherited interest in this land. My mother died when I was four years old, and is buried in the Hall Cemetery on the old Hall Plantation on Elkhart Creek, where I was born. There is a marker at her grave." Nellie is mentioned frequently in the 1860-1866 Journal of James Madison Hall. His account of her marriage to Sam is the only known written record of that event.
