Garouttes in Texas

Dear Gretchen,
Thanks so much for the offer.I tried to find this cemetery before I left Texas, but never did locate it!I have a list of the burials there and believe these are posted elsewhere on the net.
This is the family of Michael Coates Garoutte and Emily C Babb, and most of their seven children.
From the 3rd edition of "The Garoutte History", Michael and Emily had seven children, however, the first four died within a two year period in 1866 - 1868.
The family cemetery was started with the death of eight year old Chales in 1866.Ownership of the tiny cemetery is still retained by descendents.Michael C., Emily and six of their seven children, as well as a great grandson, were buried there.In 1973, when a new fence was needed, the name GAROUTTE was placed above the gate.
