Notes:

Comanche Peak, Johnson County became Acton, Hood County in 1856.

In the neighborhood below, yet tributary to Acton, we find John Randle, one of the oldest settlers here, in what is known as Carmichael Bend. His cabin is standing to this day, and the place is said to be the poorest land in that neighborhood, but this seems to have been no unusual thing, however, for an early settler to do. Many of those who came here when this territory was a vast unlocated public domain, abounding in some of the richest land in the state, passed over such and established their pre-emptions upon the poor hilly slopes and back bones. "Uncle Johnny" Randle remained in Hood County to a ripe old age, and oppressed with the weight of years and troubles growing out of litigations, he moved west some fifteen or more years ago. Two of his daughters were the wives respectfully of Newton and Wm. Manley heretofore mentioned. Norv is said to have been the first settler on George's Creek. [History of Hood County, Thomas T. Ewell, 1895]

His middle name might be Henry or Hogan.

Notes:

Moved from Mississippi to Texas with the Jennings Family. Owned a large home which sat high on a bluff overlooking the falls of the San Marcos River below Martindale. The home burned. They brought 10 of 11 children with them to Texas.

HUMPHREYS CEMETERY
Members of the Jennings and Humphreys families settled in the Martindale area in the 1850s. They established a cemetery on land bought by Joseph Humphreys in 1855. Set aside on this raised area, the burial ground initially served family members who had settled the 2,000 acres adjoining the site.
Randolph Reed Jennings (d. 1854), who reportedly died of yellow fever on his way to Martindale, was the first buried here, and the grave marker of Agnes Jennings (d. 1869) bears the earliest birth year, 1783. Joseph Humphreys (d. 1864) was the first buried in the Humphreys family plot, denoted by two obelisks. Tradition holds that a number of unmarked graves belong to former slaves of the pioneer families. Notable burials include the graves of early settler Jemima Crunk (1799-1876) and George H Martindale (1842-1892), son of the community's founder.
Today, families and descendants of those buried here meet regularly and maintain the cemetery, which was enlarged in 1946. This burial ground, a link to the area's early settlers, remains a symbol of Martindale and its rich history.
