(March 17, 1811 - Dec. 3, 1868) Texas War for Independence soldier (1836) James Rowe had migrated from North Carolina. Prospering as a tanner, he was commissioned to help organize Panola County (1846); served as senior warden of Sam Sanford Lodge No. 149, A. F. & A. M. (1851); served in 4th Texas Legislature (1851-53); and gave the land now occupied by this cemetery. He and his wife Mira (Tippett) had eleven children. Descendants include citizens in many walks of life. (1977)
