The 2.4-acre cemetery began as part of a Spanish Land grant to Frederic Miller, a German immigrant descendent who lived in the area in the mid-to-late 1770’s.

Martin Carron, owner of a 350-acre plantation and married to Elizabeth Chachere, donated an acre to Dr. T.C. Chachere to adjoin the existing 1.4-acre Moore graveyard, perhaps named for George Thomas Moore, who was married to Marie Anaise Chachere.

Over the years the cemetery came to be known as Carron Cemetery, named after Martin, a Confederate Civil War veteran.

There are five CSA veterans buried in the cemetery:

• Martin Carron
• Victor Jean Francois Contini Sittig
• George Richard
• Rosamond Lejeune
• August Constantino Pierotti
