We have done our best to record the names and dates of the individuals that are buried in this cemetery as they appeared on their markers but mistakes can be made. We have also left out the dates of the individuals that appear to be still living, out of respect for these people and families. If there needs to be a correction or an addition of someone we have left out, please Contact me and I will be happy to make the addition/correction.

Anna
G. (Hancock) and John McWilliams were my maternal G-G-G
Grandparents. Their son, Dan McWilliams (G-G grandfather) married
Mary Ann Graham (G-G Grandmother). Dan and Mary's daughter, Sarah
Elizabeth McWilliams was my great grandmother who married my great
grandfather, William Harrison Davis. William Harrison Davis was
buried in Hixson Cemetery where his
parents, Thomas and Rachel (Hughes) Davis (G-G paternal
grandparents) were buried. I don't know where Sarah Elizabeth and
her parents were buried so I keep searching.
Borden
"Birden" McWilliams was Dan McWilliams' twin brother.
They were born on Nov. 13, 1829. Dan died in 1900 and Birden died
in 1898. Birden was a nickname for Borden.
One year after
Thomas Davis returned home from the Civil War, he was planting
corn in the field. The mule was scared and ran and the strap was
stuck around his leg. He was dragged to his death. His wife,
Rachel married Birdie McWilliams on June 3, 1873.
