The road will veer sharply to the left (east and then north) around Ft. Worth-Spinks Airport At Thomas Crossing Dr., turn right and go 0.5 miles (east). The cemetery is located in tree line approximately 900 ft. northeast of house at 956 Thomas Crossing Drive and 730 ft. south of Burleson Retta Rd.According to the Tarrant County Historical Commission, the grave markers in this cemetery were removed some time ago and the ground plowed over. However, a descendant reported seeing some headstones in the area as late as the early 1980s. The presence of these headstones was confirmed during this survey, but it is unclear whether these stone are displaced or mark the actual cemetery location. Two large stones, one is marble with faint inscriptions, are present at the edge of a fallow field, along a tree line seperating the field from the Southern Oaks Golf Course. Further inspection revealed a cluster of folk headstone fragments in the tree line east of the field. One of the fragments has illegible inscriptions. A deep depression is located between the sandstone fragments and the marble headstones. Thin sandstone slabs have been placed upright around the depression. Orange survey flagging was also observed around the depression. This depression could be a grave. The marble and folk headstone fragments and the deep depression are located within a 50 ft. diameter area between the golf course and fallow field, approximately 730 ft. south of Burleson Retta Rd.
