The Coats-Horton-Roland Cemetery is located on the John Roland Survey near FM 2862 in Westminster, Texas. It is located one and one-fourth miles due south of Elm Grove Cemetery and is surrounded by land under private ownership. The cemetery was the original dedicated burial site for the Roland family, early pioneers of Texas from Alabama. Court records show that family members, Martha Pace Arrington, mother, and sons, Sherrod and Ezekial Roland, were residents of Texas by November 1834. Martha's son, John Roland, was killed in the Texas Revolution in August 1836 and the Texas Land Grant of 1,920 acres was deeded to his heirs, Martha, Sherrod, and Ezekial, by the Republic of Texas. In 1853, the John Roland Survey was divided among three heirs as shown on Collin County deed records. Ezekial Roland died in 1859 and was the first person buried on land in the north portion of the Survey in what is now Elm Grove Cemetery. Sherrod Roland's son, E. R. Roland, was the first person buried in 1854 on the south portion of the Survey in what is now the Coats-Horton-Roland Cemetery. Martha's grave site is in the Elm Grove Cemetery, however, her portion of the Survey is now the location of the original town plat of Westminster which is east of the two cemeteries. ... The small Coats-Horton-Roland Cemetery is currently being used as grazing land for cattle and the tombstones have fallen over on the ground. The Coats, Horton and Roland names are the only names recorded on tombstones in the cemetery. ... The area near the Coats-Horton-Roland Cemetery was the home of Susan and Sherrod Roland, who are buried in the cemetery. Their children were the first to be buried there. The land around the area was later sold to a Claiborn W. Coats who is also buried there. Susan Roland donated land on the Survey for Seven Points College, originally a four year theological seminary for the Texas Methodist Conference. After 1902, the college became a Baptist Academy, a preparatory school for preachers and teachers....
