Hasley Cemetery historically significant in parish
In 1795, Philip Hendrik Nering Bagel, better known as the Baron de Bastrop, received a land grant from King Charles IV of Spain. A portion of this land containing one hundred and fifty-four arpents as purchased in 1827 by Lemuel Newman and his wife, the former Phinetta B. Wooten.
The Newman's established a large plantation with the original home being in the 800 block of the present day Arkansas Road. While continuing to acquire property for their plantation, the Newman's set aside a portion of the west end of their property to be used as a cemetery. The earliest documented burial is that of William Mason who was born the 18th of January, 1765 and died the 14th of November, 1830. Mason left a widow, the former Pamela Ann Mixon and a 2-year-old child, Strother Hilliard Mason.
The cemetery was used as a plantation cemetery as well as by friends and family of the Newman's. It was later used by the towns of Trenton and Cotton Port.
