Marker Text: The first burials at this site now unmarked. Were for two ailing soldiers who died here following the battle of Salado Creek near San Antonio in 1842. The oldest marked grave is that of Lee F.T. Cottle (1788-1845). Located on property, once held by the Routh family. This burial ground served both the communities of Black Jack Springs and Pin Oak and has been known by both names. An association, over 100 years old, cares for these grounds that chronicle settlers of the Republic of Texas era; slaves; veterans of the war of 1812, the Texas Revolution and the civil war; and many area pioneers and their descendants.
