Daniel Harrison (1816–1870), a Tennessee native and distant cousin of Presidents William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison, played a notable role in early Texas history as a soldier, settler, and pioneer. He arrived in Texas in 1835, participated in the Texas Revolution, fought in the Battle of the Neches (1839), and later served in the Confederacy during the Civil War. A blacksmith, farmer, and rancher, Harrison settled in northern Williamson County at Corn Hill near present-day Jarrell in the 1840s with his wife, Nancy Robbins. There he raised corn, horses, and cattle, helping sustain the local economy and supporting the regional stage route. He died in 1870 from illness contracted during the Civil War. Harrison was originally buried at Anderson Cemetery near Donahoe Creek; in the 1970s, his descendants relocated his remains to Corn Hill Cemetery. The community of Corn Hill was established around 1852–1855 by Judge John E. King, who built his home atop a hill surrounded by cornfields. King developed it into a key stage stop on the route between Georgetown and Fort Gates. A post office opened in 1855, and the settlement prospered through the 1870s and 1880s, growing into a thriving rural community of 350–500 residents. It included general stores, cotton gins, mills, churches, Corn Hill Academy, a Masonic lodge, and a weekly newspaper. Cornhill Cemetery was established in 1886 on two acres of land deeded to the Cornhill Masonic Lodge No. 567. The cemetery holds the graves of many community leaders, three Civil War soldiers, and veterans of other wars. It has since expanded to six acres and has been maintained by the Cornhill Cemetery Association since 1953. Corn Hill began to decline after the Bartlett and Western Railway bypassed the town in 1909, routing through nearby Jarrell instead. Most residents and buildings relocated, leaving only a few historic structures — including the 1872 Shaver House/Black Hotel — and the well-preserved cemetery. Harrison’s descendants remain prominent in Williamson and Bell counties and continue to farm much of the same land he settled more than 160 years ago. Two Texas Historical Markers stand at the cemetery: Marker 14009 for Daniel Harrison and Marker 9044 for Corn Hill Cemetery.
