Old Harrison Chapel

Cemetery for Old Harrison Chapel Founded 1840 by Republic of Texas Pioneers Charles Moores (1776-1852) and wife, Mary Harrison. Extinct all-faiths chapel, where circuit riders served, named for her parents (of South Carolina). This 5-acre family-community burial plot contains about 100 graves. Mary, Charles Moores, and Willis Whitaker were children of American Revolution soldiers: 3 of Moores' sons were Texas Rangers; 4 men buried here had Republic of Texas headrights. Cemetery, restored 1967, is now only evidence of Mooresville (1 mi. nw), post office 1841-1866. Moores Landing was on Sulphur River.
