"John Crayton and the Spruill Family arrived
in what became Martindale
in 1839. They are all buried in the John Crayton/Crayton-Spruill
Cemetery on the same side of the street as the Martindale City Cemetery
only a few yards away. What is noteworthy about John Crayton and
the Spruills is that they remained in Martindale
from their arrival (sometimes between 1850 and January of 1856)
until their deaths. City Councilman Lee Harrison has documentation
of this as does Eugene Cox, former City Councilman." - Velma
