Blewett Cemetery
        Established for family and community burials by the Rev. George L.
Blewett, this cemetery was first used in 1855 after the death of his
daughter, Ann.  A Cumberland Presbyterian minister, Blewett had come to
Texas in 1853 with his family and other pioneers from Kentucky.  Nine of the
Blewett children are buried here as are George (d.1884) and his wife, Nancy
(d. 1903).  The Blewett Cemetery was for many years associated with the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church and until the mid-1920s was one of the
primary burial grounds for the Richardson Community.  (1985)
