Interment Places of
African-American
Persons in Kaufman County
Texas
Donated by: Kathey
Hunt, Co-Coordinator of
Kaufman Co., Texas TXGenWeb Project
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
Kaufman County
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.
