That would be Wharton County, very close to Fort Bend County.

> Well, it appears that he was forgotten because his grave and those of half
a dozen more lie overgrown in thick woods. My friend, a fellow geocacher,
found the graves while searching for a hidden geocache. He recorded the
coordinates as 29° 26.777 North and -96° 00.510 West. My map puts those
coordinates about 0.39 miles southeast (heading of 142.75°) of the
intersection of Hwy 59 and Hill Top Road in Waller County (that intersection
being 1.25 miles southeast of Kendleton and 4.75 miles northwest of
Hungerford.)
