Reference to the burial of a pauper was found in an affidavit in the collection of the Fort Bend County Museum Association. This document was signed on 27 November 1885 by Littleberry A. Ellis and Amanda M. Ellis. The document stated, “This is to certify that we the undersigned did this day bury one pauper on the plantation of L.A. Ellis known by name as Steve Newman (Col[ored]).” Although Steve Newman was not a convict, he was buried on Sartartia, quite possibly at the Bullhead Camp Cemetery. As such, his name has been added to the database of individuals who died on Sartartia and are likely buried at Bullhead Camp Cemetery.
