The following are all known marked
burial sites that contain the remains of
African-American persons buried in Kaufman County
Texas. The words *FORMER SLAVE on any of the

cemetery records denote persons
proven to have lived a portion of their lives in
bondage. We have so noted them as to pay homage to
those individuals and as a reminder to all who see
these pages that they will never be forgotten.
**NOTE: These burials all have
tombstones or some type of inscribed marker – those
graves of persons in
Unmarked Graves are
in another section
