ROCK SPRINGS, TEXAS (Marion County). Rock Springs is at the intersection of Farm roads 729 and 1969, eleven miles west of Jefferson in western Marion County. In 1938 the community had a one-room schoolhouse that accommodated twenty-nine black elementary students and one teacher. In 1962 the settlement consisted of several scattered dwellings and a church, and in 1983 the church was still marked on state highway maps.
