Chambersville Cemetery

 

Collin Co Cemeteries of Texas

Submitted & Photos by Ben F. Giles

The Chambersville Cemetery has been in use in Collin County since 1853. It is located about 10 miles NNW of McKinney, Texas at the intersection of County Road #206 and #281. To go to the cemetery from McKinney, take State Hiway 543 at Exit 43 on U.S. Hiway 75. Go north about 1.5 miles to the intersection of County Road 206 and State Hiway 543. Take 206 north about 3 miles to Road 281 and the Chambersville Cemetery.

The cemetery was established on land donated by Elisha Chambers, born in Burke county, North Carolina, and wife, Margaret Ann (Mannon) Chambers, born in Owen county, Indiana. The first burial was their child, Lewis Cass Chambers, born January, 1852, died Sept. 1, 1853. Land was donated for a cemetery and school. The location was named "Chambersville" in honor of the donors of the site. The cemetery grounds were for donated as public burying grounds.

The up-keep has been supported by donations from friends and relatives. A Texas State Historical Marker was placed near the Cemetery entrance in May 2000. Names and tombstone inscriptions listed were obtained from an examination of the actual tombstones in the Cemetery. There are some names listed without a location that were obtained from a list prepared in 1972 by Doris Posey, Wanda O"Roark and Alice Pitts. In these instances, no marker could be found but it is assumed that some type of marker existed in 1972.
