Davis Cemetery, also known as George W. Davis Cemetery, is a historic family burial ground located along RM 2243 east of US 183 in Leander. It originated in the mid-1840s as a private plot for the family of George Washington Davis (1809–1884), a Texas Revolution veteran who fought at San Jacinto, and his wife Emiline. Davis received a large headright land grant in the area, and the cemetery began with local burials around 1845, with the earliest marked grave dating to 1851. It later served the broader pioneer community until about 1918 and contains an estimated 100–130 graves. Its most notable feature is a mass grave of victims from the Webster Massacre. On August 27, 1839, John Webster and a party of about thirty, were en route to a land grant in Burnet County, when they were attacked by a band of Comanche Indians. After attempting to flee under cover of darkness, they were trapped on an open prairie. Mrs. Webster and her two children were made prisoners; nearly all the others were killed. Survivors later recovered the bodies and buried them together at the site that became part of Davis Cemetery. A Texas Centennial historical marker commemorates the tragedy. The cemetery holds graves of other early settlers, Civil War veterans, and local families, serving today as a preserved link to the region’s frontier history,
