Jackson Chapel Cemetery
Also known as Lockheart Cemetery, Walker Cemetery
Navasota, Grimes County, Texas, USA
This cemetery is on prison property and you must be escorted by prison officials to see it. This prison opened in 1983, long after the last burial date. The Jackson Chapel Cemetery, also known as Walker and/or Lockhart, is an African-American cemetery located five miles south of Navasota on FM 1227 on the eastside of the highway across from the entrance to the Wallace Pack Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The cemetery is located in the Grimes County Survey of the Isaac Jackson League, thus the name of the cemetery. There are five readable burial markers as well as several damaged markers. A legal history includes a deed to trustees F. H. Behn, A. M. Lockhart and Henry Stacy, for a Jackson Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church granted by landowner Robert Lockhart dated 1892. Whether the church was ever built is not known. Other deeds granted property to several members of the Daniels family that include married couple Richard and Tennessee (Duckett) Daniels, both recorded by death certificates as buried in the cemetery with several of their sons. Sam Walker also is named in a deed and is recorded as buried in the cemetery along with his wife. Burials of record date back to the early 1900s to 1960, but it is believed there are late 1890s burials because of earlier reference to a deed for a church. On a personal visit to the cemetery escorted by prison officials, they indicated that a home was built nearby, evidenced by an abandoned well.
This Jackson Chapel Cemetery was earlier identified at the wrong location. The Cemetery is listed in Book 4 of the "Grimes County Cemeteries" published by John Maxwell and associates in 2000. The book lists five gravestones that are readable of the Daniels family. Several other grave markers exist.
