About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

"According to a conveyance dated October 7, 1837, and filed April 9, 1838, in Volume A, page 39 of the Deed of Records of Jefferson County, Thomas F. McKinney sold the eastern two-thirds of his land holdings to Joseph Grigsby for the sum of $6,172.00. The small community then became known as Grigsby's Bluff although Grigsby referred to the settlement as McKinneytown. An 1840 map of Jefferson County
identified it as McKinney's Bluff.

"A small settlement grew near Grigsby's plantation. He was the first industrialist in Jefferson County and operated the county's first horse-driven sawmill, the first horse-driven cotton gin and the county's first blacksmith shop. A few other families moved into the river community opening up other businesses.

"Grigsby died in 1841 and was buried next to his daughter in Grigsby Cemetery across from the present-day Texaco office building."
