Leverett's Chapel, Texas

Leverett's Chapel is an unincorporated community in northwestern Rusk County, Texas, United States.

It was named for the Leverett family, who settled here in the 1850s after traveling here by oxcart from Savannah, Georgia, and lived in a log house.

After moving there from Georgia, they also brought with them some slaves, cattle, and supplies to build plantations.

They were also joined by families surnamed Christian, Russell, Hindman, Honzell, Chappell, Hinkle, Still, and Florence.

[2] E. A. Leverett and her family donated an acre of land for a combination school and church sometime before 1890.
