Marker Text: John and Lucinda Nugent Sheridan left North Carolina in the mid-1820s and became two of Houston County's first permanent settlers. John (Apr. 5, 1796 - May 10, 1837), a former Texas ranger, was killed by Indians in what is now Anderson County. Lucinda (Jan. 20, 1808 - Feb. 4, 1962) retrieved his body for burial on his own property. Although the exact grave site is unknown. It is approximately .5 miles north of this site. Lucinda, who is buried here, later gave part of their land for this cemetery. (1984)
