Set among rolling hills in Manor, the Boyce Family Cemetery only has five graves, consisting of the family patriarch, Aaron Boyce (1800-1846), his wife, Elizabeth Judah (Ely) Boyce (1804-1884), their son, James Boyce (1826-1841), their daughter, Elizabeth Ely (Boyce) Knight (1834-1870), and her infant son, R. Reason Pumphrey (d. 1850). The first known burial at the cemetery was fifteen-year-old James Boyce, who was killed and scalped by local Lipan Apache Indians. In 1837, Aaron Boyce moved his family to Texas and settled on a 1,280-acre plot of land, which now holds the small family cemetery. The Boyces were instrumental in settling the town of Manor in the days of the Republic of Texas. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2017
